Reflections from Florida & a Question That Changes Everything
In healthcare, we’re trained to show up for everyone else—our patients, our teams, our families. But in the quiet moments (if we get them), a deeper question tends to surface: Is this it?
It doesn’t always come as a dramatic breakdown. Sometimes it’s just a lingering thought at the end of a shift. A twinge of restlessness on your day off. A sense that you’re going through the motions, even when everything looks “fine” on paper.
I recently spent three weeks in Florida, and that question snuck up on me, too.
The answer didn’t come in a lightning bolt.
It came in a quiet moment—on a road trip with Scott, winding through places that hold meaning for both of us.
After a funeral. A family move. Time with my parents.
After supporting the people I love and catching glimpses of who I’ve become.
And it hit me:
I’ve worked really hard to build this life.
Not a perfect one. Not a fantasy.
But a life I’m proud of. One that feels like mine.
That realization didn’t come from a milestone or achievement.
It came from a pattern of choices.
Small ones. Repeated ones. Honest ones.
For me, a life I’m proud of means being able to say yes to the people and things that matter most.
It means being in my life—not just surviving it.
Not performing. Not pleasing. Not proving.
Just living. Fully and intentionally.
There’s one question I come back to again and again—especially when I feel scattered, reactive, or disconnected:
What matters most to me today—and how can I show up for that?
It sounds simple. But that question is powerful.
It helps you stay grounded.
It reminds you that you have agency.
It gets you out of autopilot and into alignment.
When you start asking that question, you stop waiting for permission to live the life you want.
You stop waiting for more time, more clarity, more energy.
You start noticing the ways you are already showing up.
So this week, I invite you to try it.
Ask yourself what matters most—and how you can show up for it.
Then look around.
Where have you already said yes to something that truly matters?
Where have you protected your peace, your rest, your priorities?
Even if your life isn’t exactly where you want it to be yet—
You might be closer than you think.
And if you’re ready to feel more aligned, more present, more you—
Let’s figure out what’s next.
