You can be competent, accomplished, and still feel deeply misaligned. 

And often, the hardest part is realizing you followed the rules and still lost yourself.

That tension is exactly where today’s conversation begins.

I’m joined by Dr. Alice Horrell, a board-certified emergency medicine physician who stepped out of the ER and into trauma-informed coaching for physicians. A turning point for her was recognizing that some of the most critical codes never happen in the hospital.

In this episode, we talk about moral injury, loss of purpose, and why slowing down is not weakness but wisdom. This is a grounded, compassionate conversation about self-knowledge, safety, and finding your way back to clarity in a world that keeps asking you to push through.

This is where we begin.
