Thriving in 2026 Pt 2: Permission to Rest and Restart
About this episode
In this episode, physician coaches discuss how to navigate New Year's intentions and the importance of rest and celebration.
Welcome to Part 2 of our annual Thriving in the New Year interview series! Every January, I sit down with physician coaches to hear how they're approaching the year—and I always walk away with something that shifts my thinking. I'm joined by Dr. Maneesha Ahluwalia (life coach and former infectious disease physician), Dr. Nora Vasquez (internist and high-performance coach), and Dr. Ladan Davallow (pediatric endocrinologist and coach). We got into what to do when your January has already gone sideways, why physicians are so bad at celebrating wins, and the difference between living in the gap versus the gain. If you're feeling behind on your New Year's intentions, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. Featured Guests: Dr. Maneesha Ahluwalia – Former infectious disease physician, now full-time life coach.
