  • “I had been a victim of career ending burnout.”

  • “It’s one thing to be brave and it’s another thing to know what to do.”
  • “If you want it, right it down and we’ll go ahead and start bending your life and your practice in that direction.”
  • “The old square peg in a round hold…So what I see is that it’s not that people are ignoring anything, they know it’s there. They just think it’s a problem with them and they need to drive themselves even farther into the square hole even if they don’t fit.”
  • [On burnout] “It’s an epidemic.”
  • “If I need to convince them, they’re not ready.”
  • “When you are over-stressed, these things that you don’t want in your life will be magnified – they’ll be very, very clear in your awareness.”
