We’re all battling our demons all the time. You can either shove them in the closet or just bring them out.”

Alex Anderson is an Anesthesiologist and a superb, thoughtful voice on social media. She shares wisdom around how and why she shares her inner voices, both positive and negative. We also discuss focusing on gratitude, dealing with death and fear in medicine, and the Beastie Boys. Her insight and wisdom on moving through life are incredibly compelling, and if it sounds like we were cracking up as the episode starts, we were.
