We sit down with Laura Suttin, a family physician, to explore the emotional complexities of setting boundaries, especially in times of personal and professional pressure. Laura shares her deeply personal experience of caring for her aging rescue dog and how it became a pivotal moment in learning to prioritize her own needs. We’ll dive into the challenges of people-pleasing, the guilt that can come with setting boundaries, and practical strategies for reclaiming time and energy.

Laura Suttin is a family physician.

She discusses the KevinMD article, “The heartbreaking decision that taught me the power of boundaries.”

Our presenting sponsor is DAX Copilot by Microsoft.
