Tweetable Quotes
“Give yourself a little bit of space and think about what would I like this one precious life that I'm living to look like.” – Dr. Bowen
“You have to start with compassion for yourself.” – Dr. Bowen
“I used to go to work sick and I knew that the body needed rest to recover and I would come to work sick anyway. Nobody told me to go home, nobody's going to take care of yourself. We got a full schedule of patients. And so, in the culture that you're describing, it feels like that there is definitely, emphasis on self-care is important.” - Dr. V
