Hello our beautiful friends and doctor humans!
In this episode, we’re diving into something that so many of us in medicine quietly wrestle with: the emotional chaos of being on call.
Not just the practicalities, but the deeper, stickier stuff, like the loss of freedom, the hypervigilance, the interruption of joy, and how that bloody phone ring can yank you straight out of flow and into fury. 😤
Kristeen opens up about her very real struggle with on-call life (and her deep dislike of it), and Doctor Becc walks her through the emotional layers behind that resentment, grief for lost control, perfectionism, and the pain of feeling your goals slip further away.
Whether it’s just a 60-second phone call or being called in to operate all night after being called in that whole day so far…
If being on call ever makes you feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact, this one is absolutely for you.
In this episode, we’ll dive into:
📞 Why being on call feels like a bomb that could go off at any moment
💣 How living life around “maybe” calls steals more than just your time
🧠 The hidden link between being interrupted and fear of not reaching your goals
😣 The emotional cost of avoiding pain… and how that avoidance steals more than the call itself
💡 Coaching questions to help you untangle what’s really upsetting you on call
🥴 Real talk about overreactions (that aren’t actually overreactions)
💬 And an example from Becc about where she was not owning her emotions herself - and what if really means to take responsibility for generating them instead of blaming the world.
We want to hear from you: What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to being on call? Is it the sleep? The uncertainty? The lack of control?
Drop us a comment, message us, or leave a review telling us your on-call story (the good, the bad, and the grumbly). 💬✨
Let’s talk about it. Because you deserve a life that feels like yours, even when you’re on call. 💖
