Sharon is a board certified plastic surgeon and creator of FaceBook Female Entrepreneurs Group in which she connects with like-minded physicians who branch out of medicine to do more. The ''more'' is many things: business, self-expression, private office or creative endeavors. We talk about that in this 8 minute interview. The poem she reads is by William Bennett and taken right from children book.

We Are Reading Poetry with Dr. Izabela Malinowska.
We Are Reading Poetry series is a collage of meetings with healthcare workers (HCW) and those who support them. This series is to bring awareness to tremendous toll of burnout on front line workers and to combat despair, isolation and one sided monologue who a HCW should or should not be. Wellbeing of HCW is an issue that we can and should cultivate as a community.

The balance between work and personal life is a topic of many conversations. With this post I want to reflect on friendship and circumstances of last year and a half that could have been very challenging for those who are in caregiving professions, and those who constantly give back through their work, like nurses, acupuncturists - like Erin, teachers, academicians and healthcare providers of all sorts. It is not to diminish pain and suffering of other groups that have been touched negatively in last year.
Elizabeth Goldberg, MD on fall prevention.
What to do to prevent falls? There is a growing body of fascinating research out there, some with use of fancy electronic devices. On that and other falls-related issues, like healthy brain and senses, I talk with Brown University ED physician Liz Goldberg, MD who also co-created Covid risk calculation app.
Libby Lykins, PA talks about Magnificent Metamorphosis.
I met Libby through our mutual friend Steve Lyons, the Cape Cod artist that I interviewed for these pages in spring. Libby is a woman who wears many hats - she is a practicing clinician, editor, author and transformation enthusiast who wants to reach broader audience with her Magnificent Metamorphosis Magazine, see link to blog I wrote about it 2 weeks ago. I sat down to talk to Libby about her passion in this 18 minute video, hope you enjoy.
Do you think of change, balance or transformation? Do you need minute for yourself, or perhaps you have strength to help and listen to others? Perhaps you are ready for Metamorphosis..
Follow the journey.
