Change is constant — and whether we like it or not, our futures demand a mindset shift. Dr. Rebecca Sutherns, author and transitions coach, joins the BS Free MD hosts to break down how to stop dreading what’s next and begin loving the journey forward.

Key Themes This Episode Covers:

• The psychology behind anticipatory anxiety — why even positive changes can feel unsettling.
• How our brains prefer certainty, even when the “known” isn’t great.

• What it means to shift from dreading to curiosity.
• Tools for seeing growth and possibility in uncertainty.

• Methods to build confidence and emotional resilience.
• How to clarify what YOU want (not what others expect).

• Why flexibility is one of the most critical skills for the modern world.
• How to match your natural strengths with the kind of transitions you’re facing.

Rebecca brings both compassion and structure to this often-avoided topic — making change feel not just manageable, but exciting.

• Uncertainty ≠ Danger: Our nervous system mistakes the unknown for threat — but new pathways can lead to growth.
  
• Curiosity > Fear: Asking What if this turns out better than I imagine? changes the emotional tone of what's ahead.
  
• Adaptability isn’t optional — the pace of change won’t slow down, but your ability to navigate it can improve.

Dr. Rebecca Sutherns is an author, strategist, and transitions coach who specializes in helping high-achieving individuals face life’s uncertain turns with resilience and purpose. She focuses on practical, mindset-based tools to help people reimagine their futures with confidence and clarity.

What starts as laughter over some of the most unhinged medical stories imaginable—think penis surgery in a Toyota Corolla and Ozempic for cats—slowly evolves into something deeper. Tim and May connect the dots between modern medicine, fear-based decision making, and the loss of personal responsibility, both in healthcare and in life.

They revisit insights from their conversation with Dr. Peter McCullough on long COVID and real-world patient outcomes, then land the episode with a powerful reflection on fear versus love, faith, and why “safe” is an illusion. As always, it’s irreverent, honest, thoughtful—and a reminder that medicine (and life) works best when we keep it BS free.
