@dr.zara.lifestyle: I’m *38, a doctor and not ashamed to admit: 1. I am single and don’t have children. I’ve always been single and wanted kids but I don’t think they’re my future. I often wonder if I will end up alone because I gave too much to Medicine and forgot to find out what I actually wanted. 2. I often question if I am qualified enough to share on social media, despite the degrees and experience. I took 8 years to start this page. 3. I’m mixed race, at times I have not known my place in society and racism has unfortunately shaped me. 4. I’ve dealt with burnout in medicine from compassion and decision fatigue, covid, exams, long hours and night shifts. I learnt boundaries, how to rest and energy conservation. 5. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 23 and was advised to hide it! 4 years ago I was diagnosed with dyslexia, I wonder if life would have been different if It had been picked up earlier. 6. After medical school, I left medicine, I didn’t feel I had enough life experience to have lives in my hands. I spent 4 years delving into the spiritual before going back to medicine, I’ve now worked as a doctor for 10y meditated daily for 14y. 7. I’ve played many sports, movement calms my mind. I broke my neck skiing in 2013 and feel so grateful I can move. This is why I run! 8. I have left medicine 3 times but my love of people, pattern recognition and connection pull me back. I’ve made great friends. 9. I love to follow my heart, travel, seek out adventures and meet the people placed on my path. I like to see the magic in everything. I believe and trust there is something greater guiding me. I always bump into people - It makes the world feel small and connected! 10. I don’t regret taking the path less travelled ❤️ I’m grateful I love my life and turn every challenge into a gift, I’m not lonely, very independent and value freedom. But sometimes trying to do it all and be everything to myself can feel a lot. *I think I’m 28! 😉 Follow along if you want to join the journey - it won’t be boring!!! What’s something you’re not ashamed to admit? Love Dr Zx #womeninmedicine #adhd #mixedrace #careerpath
