I think we are taught that we need to pick a career, stick with it, probably lose our passion for it and then at some point retire and move on. That never has sat well with me. I want to be fulfilled by what I do. I want to be excited to go to work. Every job has its downsides of course, but overall I want to filled up, not be drained, and constantly waiting for the next weekend.
Read MoreI looked back in my calendar to this time last year. March 17, 2020 was the day I closed up shop at the clinic and started what we thought was going to be a few weeks in quarantine. I remember emailing my patients, assuring them I would see them again in person in a short while and encouraging them to book virtual appointments should they need any support as we navigate this new way of living.

We are still being called to step up and face some harsh realities about our way of living. I think that is the biggest lesson I got out of 2020. Some things need to change. And it’s ok that they do.
