The Awakening Tide

tide-mark

In the early morning there is a moment right before the sun rises and meets the water in which anything is possible.

In medicine, we are at The Awakening Tide.

Everything and anything is possible.

The ideas that will change healthcare lie in  each of us waiting to be born into the world.

Erica Roesch, MD

I help the physicians who are the thought leaders and visionaries changing the medical paradigm do what they love.
Over the past 17 years, I have:
Earned an MD at Wright State University
Completed Family Medicine Residency at The Miami Valley Family Medicine Program
Practiced outpatient Family Medicine at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation
and trained in Functional Medicine

I thought, when I’m finally done with all of the training,
I’d be living my dream life as a doctor living out my Hippocratic Oath.
I was wrong.
During this time, I also got married, had three kids, suffered my own health issues.
Trying to juggle the demands of work and family, I lost my sense of self, stopped working out and forgot what it felt like to be happy.
Meanwhile, I smiled for everyone else and pretended to be holding it all together.
Moreover, I began to feel more frustrated with the system, and powerless to change it.
I had ideas and concepts that I knew would help my patients.
I tried to create a way of practicing that served me and my patients while fitting inside the lines of medicine.
This was exhausting.
I felt like I hit roadblock after roadblock.
I made this mean that I was doing something wrong and my ideas were not a valid risk to pursue.
So, instead of building and creating, I started to retreat and accept that my life in medicine would not be what I dreamed.
I was told I was burnt out.
I was given the recommendations to meditate, do yoga, and take time for myself.
I did all of these things.
The pull toward the feeling I knew I could create to care for another human pulled at me harder and harder.
I resisted, I tried to turn off the voice inside of me telling me that there had to be a better way in medicine.
Resisting is exhausting.
Silencing your inner voice is life draining.

One day, my beloved patient looked at me and said,

"Dr. Roesch, it is time.

It is time for you to leap.

People need your ideas."

Her words were the sign that I was waiting for to breathe life back into my vision and dream.

I did what she told me.
I lept.
Maybe you recognize yourself in my story.
Maybe:
*you have dreams that do not fit in the box of your current job description
*you long to serve your patients in a way that holds true to the values you had when you applied to med school
*you have an idea or a feeling of how to do this, but do not know how to make it actually happen
*you believe in a holistic approach to life and medicine and are trying to  implement it for yourself and your family
*you long to be a living, breathing example of true health for your family and patients
*you want to regain energy, time, fun and connection to your life

Looking back over my career, my ability to connect to my patient at a deep, deep level was my strength and my love in Family Medicine.

I went all in on my greatest strength.
I became a certified life coach with The Life Coach School.
I created my life coaching practice - the vehicle in which I connect with others at a deep, deep level.
My coaching method is based on the intersection of taking what is true science and marrying that with the every day miracle of our thoughts and ideas.
It is my mission and my passion to help the visionaries and the thought leaders in medicine bring their ideas to life.
There is no greater fascination for me than the miracle of an idea being born into the world.
I work with the greatest minds in medicine.
Together we are changing the landscape of medical practice, delivery of medical care, chronic disease management and at the same time we are stronger, healthier, more connected and thriving in our own lives.
I have found my path, my energy, my connection and live every day in the awe of watching my ideas come to life.
I know all of this is possible for you.
Doctor, it is time.
It is time for you to leap.
People need your ideas.
LET'S BEGIN
