Curiosity. Challenging yourself. Pushing the boundaries of what can be. The human spirit. Sifan Hassan does it scared but does it anyway. Fear can limit or push you. I love how relatable this remarkable woman is🏆❤️💪🏽

Helping Zoey with her Uni applications and as she (and I tbh) feels overwhelmed with it all, I remind us that this time last year, Eddy was also unsure whether he’d get into his #1 program or ever finish his book. He’s done both and is thriving❤️#onedayatatime #Godisinthisstory

Zoey self-published her 1st comic on Amazon. Warms my heart to see how proud she is because she’s her own harshest critic. Her drive, tenacity, & single-minded focus when she has her sights set on something will take her places. May the universe remain kind to her❤️ #proudmama

#GRADE, indeed #EBM, will never be the same. GRADE papers have become too complex and difficult to navigate. The remedy: a series of 7 papers in the #BMJ laying out the essentials of GRADE: Core GRADE. This week, an overview of Core GRADE. bmj.com/content/389/bm…
