In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure to speak with another one of my new friends whom I met at the Physician Coaching Summit earlier this month. Dr. Tasha Faruqui is a fellow pediatrician, public speaker, medical advocate, and author.

We explore Yolanda’s philosophy of “detached attachment,” a way of parenting and healing rooted in letting go of outcomes and focusing on em

"Having your own back" means choosing yourself, trusting yourself, and not abandoning yourself when things get hard or when other people disapprove. It means being on your own team, being your own advocate, and being your own best friend. "Having Our Own Backs" was the theme of this year’s Physician Coaches Summit at the Civana Resort and Spa.
