Christine Ko: [00:00:00] I'm excited to announce that SEE HEAR FEEL is being rebranded to the Girl Doc Survival Guide podcast. A lot of times doctors are in "survival mode". I've been there. I still am there sometimes. And it can seem there's no bandwidth or not enough time to really get done all the things that we need to get done. We're privileged to be in health care, but healthcare can be high stakes and high stress. And more and more, I think balance doesn't really exist. But we can do more than just survive, and we can flourish. I can flourish. If I can flourish, we can all flourish. So I'm going to be sitting down with doctors, psychologists, mental health experts, and others to really dig into the real challenges as well as the real rewards of life in medicine. So we'll talk about daily stressors but also daily pleasures. We'll talk about burnout but [00:01:00] also designing a career that doesn't sacrifice who you are, your personal life, the rest of your life outside of work. This podcast is going to really be about giving you the tools to not just survive but to really be present in the journey and hopefully, for the most part, enjoy it. I hope you all join in. Thank you.
