As a physician, coach, and friend, people share their most intimate experiences with me. As they struggle through hardship, the deep fear, shame, disappointment, and uncertainty creates a fog of isolation. When they finally speak out, ask for help, and connect, they all say the same thing, “I thought it was just me.” These are their survival stories.

Customer Reviews
Resonance
The topics and insights that Dr Kara Pepper shares resonates deeply for me and I suspect many physicians. She’s not afraid of tackling those topics that many shy away from and does so with such an effortless, genuine, and kind style. Personally impactful. It’s Not Just You is now in my regular rotation of podcasts. Highly recommend!
Its me! It’s me!
Putting your head down, pushing, fixing everyone and everything except your own problems and dysfunction. We all need this normalization of stopping the push.
This podcast is the Great Connector
This is the first time I have reviewed a podcast! Thank you for sharing your own story and connecting us with those who are able to comfortably express their vulnerability. The second episode really spoke to parts of my experience. I appreciate a different take on quitting. Look forward to continuing to learn from others on this podcast.
