In today's episode, Dr. Killeen explores Solomon’s Paradox, the idea that we often give better advice to others than we do to ourselves. When we look at someone else’s situation, we tend to be more thoughtful, balanced, and open. But when it is our own challenge, emotions and bias can cloud our judgment. This shows up in everyday decisions with patients, team dynamics, and leadership. Situations that seem clear from the outside can feel complicated when you are in the middle of them. The key is learning how to step back and create a little distance. Start by shifting your perspective. By asking what advice you would give someone else in the same situation, you can access the clarity you already have and make better decisions in your own practice.
