What if you only had 4000 Sundays in your lifetime? And what if the way you work today is quietly stealing them away?

In this conversation, Dr Kristy Goodwin takes us inside her own life-altering wake-up call — a moment in a Code Red hospital ward that forced her to confront burnout, mortality, and the “success tax” so many high performers pay.
