Not all misalignment shows up as exhaustion.

Sometimes medicine works - the protocols are correct, the outcomes are acceptable - and yet something essential feels missing.

In this January Reset re-air, I’m revisiting my conversation with Dr. Meena Julapalli, a pediatric dermatologist whose work spans direct care, creativity, and healing.

Dr. Julapalli speaks honestly about practicing inside systems that prioritize efficiency and algorithms, and what gets lost when time, presence, and relationship are squeezed out of care. Her story isn’t about leaving medicine - it’s about reclaiming it.

You’ll hear how creating space for meaning and connection changed the way she experiences her work, her patients, and herself as a physician. This conversation aligns deeply with the January Reset reflections around energy, sustainability, and patient relationships.

If you’ve ever felt that your current version of medicine is technically sound but emotionally incomplete, this episode may land close to home.
