Glimmers - the opposite of triggers. A semi-spontaneous mindfulness exercise to help calm and center you.

Larry and Kristi take on the dearth of private space, and suggest a couple strategies for getting a bit of space in a place where there's not much private space at all.

Larry and Kristi review what imposter syndrome is and talk about strategies for dealing with it.

We've also booked our next all-new Happy Doc Program:

"Olakino - Change As A Practice" - Sep 26-30, 2025

Outrigger Paradise Waikiki Hotel, Honolulu HI

Registration will open soon!!

Our special guest Jessie Nelson, MD, brings a colorful analogy to the important concept of managing your time. We've all heard the expression "I don't give a F-." Or maybe we do. But we all have a limited number of "F-'s" to give, and this is how we manage our "F-budget."

And don't forget #6! Come to Happy Doc Hawaii Spring Break!

Kristi and Larry are joined by Elizabeth Vermilyea, PhD, and Kim Johnson (Kristi's sister and the newest member of the gang) for a roundtable on vicarious trauma, and processing - formally or informally. We talk more about personal wellness strategies this episode.

As many of us - both as patients and providers - are members of the LGBTQ community, we thought Pride month afforded us an opportunity to talk about some of the challenges facing LGBTQ patients and providers working within the healthcare system.

This is Part I of a two-part series with guest panelists Tuan Vo (a family medicine physician from Tucson, AZ), and Lyn Ashley Geldar (a clinical psychologist from Scottsdale, AZ).

We hope you enjoy our time with them - they were terrific guests!
