Thriving in 2026 Pt 3: Done Chasing Perfect

Welcome to Part 3 of our annual Thriving in the New Year interview series! Every January, I sit down with physician coaches to hear how they're thinking about the year ahead—and there's always something that shifts my perspective.

I'm joined by Dr. Sonia Wright (pediatric radiologist and midlife sex coach), Dr. Sarah Smith (family physician and charting coach), and Dr. Lea Grace Famularcano (family medicine and obesity medicine physician, health coach).

We got into why the "push, push, push" approach we learned in training doesn't work for reaching your personal goals, how small pivots beat giant overhauls every time, and what it looks like to focus on experience instead of achievement.

If you're exhausted from trying to achieve your way to feeling better, this conversation offers a different path forward.
