The PEA-SimpliMD Digest: This Week in Micro-Business November 3-9, 2025

A Personal Note from Tod

Every week I’m reminded that independence is the true antidote to burnout. When you design your career around freedom, not fear, you rediscover the joy of practicing medicine on your own terms. Let’s make this the week you take one intentional step toward your professional autonomy.

My Quote of the Week

“You don’t need to escape medicine — you just need to practice it as the owner of your own story.” (From Monday’s post: “The Great Life of Being Self-Employed While Being Employed”)
