Who we are
Together: we are three friends who trained together in a military psychiatry residency.
As individuals:
Like Kyle’s mid-life crisis tattoo quotes, she strives to live the questions now. She’s a real sucker for the American dream, but leans hard on that adaptive coping mechanism of humor when things get a little messy. She ticks a lot of millenial mom sterotypes (wine mom, Swiftie), a husband who balances her (often untethered) enthusiasm (she’s as clear of a 7 on the enneagram as there ever was), and loves being a psychiatrist because it pays her like a doctor to be a philosopher. Most of all, she loves love, friendship, and the pursuit of a shared vision.
Sarah's core identity is an explorer. From the planet itself to the inner workings of the mind, she is constitutionally incapable of staying on the surface. Psychiatry is no exception to this ethos — nothing is off limits, and everything is grist for the mill of understanding. Shrinking America is yet another frontier — a new landscape for finding meaning in the Generativity vs. Stagnation phase of life. It's an elder millennial's way of saying we're finally old enough to know what matters, and young enough to still do something about it. We're the Oregon Trail generation, after all. Let's prep to ford this damn river.
Jaremy ‘s ongoing exploration to understand an ever-changing definition of self and purpose has led him down many paths and into the integration of many seemingly disparate parts (psychiatry babble to describe how complicated and beautiful each of us are). These parts include: spiritual being having a human experience, brother & son, guncle, featured dancer, choreographer, recording artist, high school teacher, former Mormon, Buddhist, Taoist, gay man, doctor, soldier, psychiatrist, osteopath, left midfielder, and 3rd chair violinist, to name a few. He loves psychiatry because it allows him to pull from these experiences to fulfill our archetypal role as modern-day sages and "witch doctors." He hopes his varied life experiences and insightful discussions with talented friends will support Americans in coming to a deeper understanding of their own identity and purpose."
IYKYK. Trauma-bonding over learning this obtuse system makes friendships for life.
