Ep 19 - Surviving Trauma and Medical Malpractice - You Are Not Alone!

In this week's episode, I sit down and chat with Dr. Laura Fortner and discuss going through trauma and surviving a medical malpractice suit. Dr. Laura Fortner shares some advice on the importance of grounding ourselves each day and a few action steps she would love to encourage us all to practice on a daily basis in our everyday life. We discuss fear in terms of an unexpected outcome, fear of litigation, how we all have it, and how you respond to that fear is essential. Don't miss out on this insightful conversation about self-compassion and leaning into our fears.

Meet Dr. Laura Fortner:

Dr. Laura Fortner is a Board certified OBGYN, Speaker, CEO of the Med Mal Coach LLC and Certified Life Coach. She has been practicing for over 21 years and got hit with a malpractice lawsuit almost a decade ago that has been ongoing. This rocked her to her core-the anger, the fear, the isolation and the shame. It was through her journey of self-healing when she hired a life coach as a last resort that changed everything. She now helps physicians thrive through adverse events and medical malpractice and get peace of mind.
