Dear Physician,

Are You Done Suffering in Silence?

If you’ve landed here, it’s likely because a truth has been stirring within you—a quiet voice, maybe, but unrelenting. Something is deeply wrong in medicine. You feel it: the weight of exhaustion, cynicism, questions of efficacy, the loss of joy, the relentless pressure to comply. Medicine has become a machine that asks everything and gives back very little. But it doesn’t have to be this way. ROAR is here to ignite a different path.

There is no formula here. There’s only you.

ROAR is a call to action, a lifeline, a gathering place for physicians who refuse to continue to sacrifice their humanity in order to simply survive. The ask is too high. In this space, you will be seen, you will be heard, and you will be valued—not just for your role or your work, but for your unique gifts and the depth of spirit and resilience you bring to this field every single day.

This isn’t for everyone, but it might be for you.

ROAR is for physicians across all stages of their journey who feel the need for a seismic shift:

  • For mid-career physicians whose sense of alignment has been chipped away, whose livelihood seems tied to a system they no longer trust.

  • For early-career physicians who recognize the unsustainable path ahead and want a new direction—before it’s too late.

  • For late-career physicians who are ready to leave a legacy rooted in change and contribution rather than complacency and complicity.

  • For all of us who need to link arms as we await unknown health policy changes from a new regime and plan skillful coordinated responses.

Whether you need to slow down, pivot, or disrupt the norms of this field, ROAR is your catalyst for change and your community of support.

What ROAR Offers You

ROAR isn’t here to simply give you tools; it’s here to remind you of your own power to create the change you seek.

  • Reclaim Your Power
    Begin with the places where you feel most trapped. ROAR will guide you in regaining control of your life, career, and sense of purpose.

  • Dismantle Limiting Beliefs
    Uncover the beliefs about compliance, exhaustion, and sacrifice that have been instilled in you. Together, we’ll replace them with a foundation rooted in autonomy, freedom, and truth.

  • Chart Your Own Path Forward
    This is not about following a set path but discovering your own way forward—whether that means slowing down, pivoting, or completely redesigning your approach to medicine.

  • Rediscover the Joy and Community of Medicine—On Your Terms
    Connect to what brought you here in the first place. This time, on your terms, supported by a community who believes in the same vision.

Why ROAR Works

This isn’t about quick fixes or superficial adjustments. Changing nothing changes nothing. ROAR is crafted for those ready to confront the hard truths and step into their own power. With radical compassion and unfiltered honesty, we will face the reality of medicine today and the suffering it has caused. This isn’t a box to check; it’s a shift in direction, a turning point, a movement. It’s for those bold enough to imagine what medicine could—and should—be.

    We hear you. Doing this alone hasn’t worked. The best time to reclaim your power was yesterday. The next best time is now.

An open letter to physicians–

If you’re reading this, you might be at a point in your career—and your life—where the disconnect between the ideals that brought you into medicine and the reality you face daily has become impossible to ignore. It’s a feeling that gnaws at you, a tension that’s hard to articulate but impossible to deny. This letter is for you.

I’m Dr. Chrissie Ott, a Physician, Coach, and Creative. I’ve dedicated my life to healing others, yet I, too, have felt the weight of a system that seems determined to grind us down, not lift us up. I write this because the very essence of what it means to be a physician is in jeopardy. And if we don’t speak up now—if we don’t ROAR—we risk losing it entirely.

This is not just a personal experience. It’s a systemic sickness that has come to infect medicine itself.

The irony is staggering: we became doctors to heal, yet we’re often the ones left depleted, demoralized, and disconnected from the very purpose that drew us to this work. We’re told to push through, to stay quiet, to keep moving forward as if the sacrifices we make are noble, when, in reality, they’re eroding our health, our relationships, and our humanity.

I am no longer willing to stay silent.

We need a radical reframe. We need to ROAR—Reframe, Optimize, And Recover—so that we can reclaim our purpose and reignite our passion. We need a new language, a new system, a new mindset that values us as whole human beings and not just cogs in a machine.

I’m calling for a movement of physicians who are ready to step into their own power. Who are tired of the status quo. Who feel the truth of this in their bones and are ready to say, “Enough.”

Imagine a space—a sanctuary of sorts—where we can finally address what’s wrong, not with more platitudes or superficial fixes, but with real change. A space where your voice is heard, where your experiences are validated, where you’re not just surviving but thriving.

If this speaks to you, if you’re fed up with a system that’s forgotten our humanity, then you’re not alone. There is strength in numbers, and there is power in our collective voices. This is a call to resist and rewire. To reclaim the art of medicine. To heal ourselves as we heal others.

This is your invitation to ROAR with me. For ourselves, for each other, and for the future of medicine.

With fierce truth,
Dr. Chrissie Ott
