NEW EPISODE!

Episode 7: Kelli J. Hyland, MD
The Art of Balancing
Science and Creativity

Kelli Hyland, MD is a physician specialized in adult psychiatry. She has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings, in private practice, a community hospital, and currently with veterans at the VA. In her free time she reads, writes, naps, travels, doodles, and enjoys long walks with her husband and daughter.

In this conversation with we explore the creativity that lies in all of us and how Kelli has balanced that with her life as a physician. I truly believe that we all embody so much creativity and maybe we don't recognize it as being essential to our well being.

This has been our goal with this podcast; prompting what is creative in you. Take a listen, We’d really love to hear what it "prompts" in you.

I feel like I need to say something and yet what can I say? I am unsettled, disheartened, and disappointed. Yet I refuse to despair. I have always been motivated to seek understanding over knowledge. I can intellectually discuss the evidence/effects of structural inequality and still feel helpless when slapped in the face with it. Yet I refuse to despair. I feel heartbroken for the countless untold stories: the invisibles we don't hear from or about, and all those who are actively hated. Yet I refuse to despair. I feel guilt, and shame, for the lack of change in society, and for my own complicity/privilege. I am in a bubble of my own making, far from the voiceless child of my youth. I have surrounded myself with like-minded people and this week's events have been a harrowing reminder that we have so far to go. Yet I refuse to despair. And so I continue to risk, continue to make myself vulnerable, to grow, to create in the face of destruction, and to not forget. To remember that we are all connected, perpetrators and victims alike. Even as we take a stand for what we believe in, fight injustice, and vote for those who will do that with us, we must also remember that connection. What helps me remember that best is telling my story, listening to the stories of others, and sharing the beauty I see.
