Last November 6–8, 2025, I had the privilege of speaking at the Physician Coaching Summit 2025, an experience that deeply affirmed the heart of our shared journey.

My talk, “Detached-Attachment: A Positive Acceptance Approach to Parenting Neurodivergence and Thriving as a Physician,” grew out of my own story as a nephrologist with burnout and a mom of a child with autism, when I realized that my need to fix was the very thing breaking me.

Healing began when I learned to let go of outcomes and lean into connection.
