Empowering Women Physicians  

Empowering Women Physicians

Author: Sunny Smith MD

Medicine is truly the most noble profession. It is an honor and a privilege to be responsible for the health and well being of our society. As physicians, we aim to relieve human suffering. Then why are so many of us unhappy, stressed, and even considering leaving medicine? Characteristics of self sacrifice and delayed gratification allowed women physicians to get through medical school and residency. Yet these very same traits can cause increasing distress and may no longer be serving us. This podcast encourages women physicians to reflect on the wise words of the Hippocratic Oath and consider what more they could be doing to maintain the utmost respect for their OWN human life and its quality. Women physicians are strong, intelligent, resilient, hard working, insightful, and live their lives in service of others. Through this podcast, Dr Sunny Smith reminds them that they must first care for themselves so that they may care for others. As a practicing physician and certified coach, she offers tools that can be used to help them take a closer look at their life right now, what they love and what they'd like to change. She helps physicians set goals and empowers them to take steps toward creating their best lives starting today.

Episode # 37 - Perfectionism
Episode 37
Thursday, 10 September, 2026

In this episode we discuss how medicine selects for people who have a strong tendency for perfectionism.  We reflect on the socialization and enculturation we have experienced that creates that and amplifies that.  We then talk about how being willing to take messy imperfect action or allowing ourselves to do "B minus" work can help move us forward.
