  240 Recess Episode! A Book, A Podcast, A Routine, and A Splurge

  Aug 18, 202622 min

  In this recess episode, Kemi talks about what it means to stay yourself while becoming more visible. After her book release and tour, Kemi reflects on the pressure to stay on message without turning herself into a persona. She shares why it matters to be seen as a full person, not only as a physician, surgeon, scientist or even author. For Kemi, authenticity is not about being the same in every room. It is about knowing how to show up in different spaces without losing who you are. This episode is lighter, personal, and honest, with reminders about creativity, visibility, rest, and staying connected to who you are outside of your work.

  In this episode, Kemi talks about the uncomfortable but necessary role feedback plays in making your career stronger.
