“Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

For years, many of us shape shift to fit rooms, titles, expectations, or unspoken rules. We soften our edges. We dim parts of ourselves. We convince ourselves it is leadership.

It is not.

The most transformative leaders I have met are not the loudest in the room. They are the most authentic. They show up fully aligned. Their values are clear. Their story is not hidden. Their humanity is visible.

Also, something beautiful happens in their presence.

Others breathe easier.
Others speak more honestly.
Others feel permission to step forward as they truly are.

In healthcare, in education, in any workplace, psychological safety does not begin with policies. It begins with people who are brave enough to be real.

When we choose authenticity over approval, we create cultures where belonging is not a slogan but an experience.

Where in your life or leadership are you still holding back a piece of yourself?

There was a moment on this trip to San Francisco where I simply paused.

No agenda. No meetings. No expectations. Just breath.

Self care looks different for each of us. For me, it is movement. It is travel. It is standing somewhere beautiful with a cup of coffee in my hand and remembering that I am still here.

The past few years have not always been easy. There have been moments of dismissal. Moments where voices tried to minimize me and my community. Moments that could have caused me to shrink.

But I did not shrink.

I stand today more grounded, more proud, and more certain of who I am than ever before. Not because it has been easy, but because I chose to keep going. I chose to care for myself. I chose to protect my peace. I chose to live fully.

Self care is not indulgent. It is sustaining. It is the quiet decision to refill your own cup so you can continue leading, loving, and building spaces where others feel safe to do the same.

What does self care look like for you right now? Are you giving yourself permission to embrace it?

I recently joined Chris St. John on Rethink Imaging to talk about one of the most pressing challenges facing medical imaging today: workforce access.

Every year, tens of thousands of students want to enter imaging programs but can’t. At the same time, health systems face staffing shortages that directly impact patient access to diagnostic care. This isn’t a talent problem, it’s a systems problem.
In our conversation, we explored why imaging remains a hidden profession, how rigid education and accreditation models are limiting workforce growth, and why imaging needs to seriously consider modern pathways like apprenticeships, imaging medical assistants, and employer-funded education.

We also discussed why retention matters just as much as recruitment, and how sustainable workforce solutions must support both the professionals doing the work and the patients waiting for care.

Thank you to Chris and the Rethink Imaging team for creating space for thoughtful, honest conversations about where imaging needs to go next.

As we honor the life of Rev. Jesse Jackson, I find myself reflecting on being a young student first learning about his work alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I remember reading about marches, speeches, and a movement fueled not by power, but by purpose. He stood boldly for justice, for economic opportunity, for voting rights, and for the dignity of every human being. He reminded us that America is not a single piece of cloth. It is a quilt. Many patches. Many stories. One shared thread.

That image has never left me.

The true way to honor his life is not simply to quote him. It is to continue the work. It is to build communities where equity is not an aspiration but an expectation. It is to lead with courage when it would be easier to stay silent. It is to ensure that opportunity reaches every zip code, every classroom, and every workplace.

In healthcare, in education, in leadership, we are still stitching that quilt together.

The question for each of us is simple.

How are we strengthening the common thread?

Let us honor his legacy not just in remembrance, but in action.
