There are a bunch of wonderful moments in Mo Ryan's BURN IT DOWN, but for me it was this response to an exec who was looking for kudos for doing the bare minimum. I'm putting this into my arsenal of daily 'do better' vernacular.

Couldn't wait to share my first at home pour over with you! In other coffee news, tomorrow Let's Grab Coffee on WYXR 91.7 FM — Raised By Sound at 11am CST. I'll be revisiting my conversation with Anthony Chin-Quee (Anthony Chin-Quee, MD) about his memoir, I CAN'T SAVE YOU.

One of my favorite pod convos to date. I love having the opportunity to give back to my profession with my stories! Thank you Denise Millstine, MD for the opportunity and all of your thoughtful questions! Oh, and buy my book, too I guess. It's good, promise.

If you're a Londoner, you won't want to miss this! I'm funny, I promise.

⁦TW: Suicide This was me. Achievement, concealment, alcohol, drugs, depression, self-harm, suicidal. Oh, and surgeon. It's why I wrote my book, hoping more of us would find power in vulnerability. Thanks @lubitz_carrie⁩ for joining the chorus. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/s…

For the record, this is NOT a nomination. But to even be put forth for GRAMMY consideration for my audiobook performance is not something I'd considered in my wildest dreams. I'll be over here in my corner giggling gleefully like a toddler if you need me.

LOVED this conversation with Emily Silverman, MD about all things ICSY. Having a chance to talk medicine, wellness, and identity on one of my favorite podcasts was such a pleasure. Please take a listen!

Humbled to be in the company of giants and inspirations on the The Boston Globe year end list! A remarkable honor to cap a remarkable year! bostonglobe.com/2023/12/15/art…

Once again: Actual white allyship requires risk. Risk of losing face, risk of losing power. And most of all, risk of doing/saying the right thing even if it's uncomfortable. Watching them squirm has lost its charm. It's the silence for me. Deafening.

Oh hey, it's me!

First day jitters have never been so deadly. My first day on call was a mess of the hottest variety. Listen to me tell it! My performance on The Moth Radio Hour is now available wherever you get your podcasts! If you like it, my book I CAN'T SAVE YOU, has many more!

Landed in the USA for the first time in 2 years. Didn’t realize the weight of fearing for my Black life daily until I went expat. I walked past smiling neighbors with Trump lawn signs in Wisconsin this week, fight or flight came out of hibernation and it felt…American. Cool.

Wife (in admirable baritone to our 3yo): Ho Ho Ho! What would you like for Christmas? 3yo: A teddy bear! But Santa, what would YOU like for Christmas? Wife: <stunned heart-filling silence of a holiday deity who's only ever been squeezed dry for their generosity>
