In this episode, we explore a powerful and fun way to boost your happiness—by living in the present through flow and savoring. This is the 8th episode in the series following Dr. Sonja Lubomirski’s book, The How of Happiness.

You’ll learn what “flow” really means, how to create it in your daily life, and why it’s one of the most effective ways to feel more fulfilled, engaged, and joyful—whether at work, at home, or in your free time.

Drawing from the groundbreaking research of psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, we dive into how flow helps us operate at our best, the importance of balancing challenge and skill, and how to find deeper meaning even in routine activities. We also cover practical ways to invite more flow into your conversations, leisure time, and professional life—plus, why savoring the process matters more than chasing the end goal.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What the state of flow is and why it’s so enjoyable
• How to find the right balance between challenge and skill
• Why flow leads to more happiness and fulfillment
• How to create “microflow” moments in everyday tasks
• Ways to bring flow into your conversations and leisure time
• How your perspective on work can shift your experience of it
• The difference between healthy flow and potentially harmful overindulgence

Dave Ramsey has helped millions of people take control of their finances—but does his advice make sense for physicians? In this episode of The Grow Your Wealthy Mindset, I break down where Ramsey’s principles work and where they fall short for doctors. With our unique financial journey—years of training, six-figure student loan debt, and sudden income jumps—physicians need a more nuanced approach than blanket debt-aversion.

From student loans and investing, to credit cards and retirement planning, I’ll explain why following Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps might actually hurt more than help, especially if you're a physician working toward financial freedom.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why debt isn’t always bad—especially when it’s funding an income-producing asset like a medical degree

The ROI of student loans and how to decide if borrowing for education makes sense

Why Ramsey’s strict “no credit card” rule isn’t practical—or always smart—for physicians

Why delaying retirement investing for student loan payoff can cost you
