Life feels like it has been just a little bit hard lately. Doesn't mean that we stop moving but it does feel like I have stalled. Stuck. Sitting in one place. And that's probably one of the worse feelings. I feel like I've been just sitting here hoping that things would change rather than taking action to actually change it.
I almost didn't have time to edit and post this video this week. So it is the step in the right direction .. it's one step. And sometimes we need to count the steps before we can look back and see the distance that we've traveled.
Hope you all are doing well. I miss connecting with you and that sense of community.
Keep in Touch!

Imagine being a whole doctor and phenomenal wife, mom, influencer and still having self doubt. Unreal. You are a literal inspiration. People come to you for advice on health and wellness and motivation. Ive been watching you since you were an MS-4 and seeing you be so candid about how even you struggle with wanting to do more and be more speaks volumes about the person you are. you’ve accomplished so much and still feel you can do more. You’re not alone, we all have these moments. But never try to dim your own light. You are nothing short of amazing. Never forget it.
You are the sweetest Jessica. I need to remind myself that the voices in my head are not always right. That I can just be a spectator of these comments without having them affect my mood or life.
@@drjennale absolutely. and it is 100% okay to have these moments.
This is pretty common for high achievers. Always torturing themselves because, no matter how great you're doing in life, as far as you're concerned you could be doing it better.
It's OK 😀. I know it is sometimes hard to see it from your point of view, but compared to the vast majority you are doing great! You've already achieved more in your short life than most will before they die, girl.
That being said, if you don't stop to smell the roses and collect yourself every once in a while, your accomplishments will be unnoticed by YOU, and your mind interprets it as if all the hard work isn't paying off even though it actually is.
Relax, breathe and evaluate. For each of your goals, look at the ground covered so far and I believe you will feel a bit better.
I wish you the best in your endeavors.
Thanks Jaime. You’re right. We’ve come a long way. I can celebrate that and be terrified of all I still need to accomplish 😅
How lucky are your kiddos and your patients! Thanks for your vulnerability. You make us feel seen.
🤍 thanks Sarah. We’re still struggling over here but we’re trying
As a physician, you should consider MD VIP. My doctor went to this last year and we followed her. I cant tell you the significant difference that has made. Doctors have more time to spend with patients and the care we receive is so much better. The doctors also have less patients. Yes the patients pay yearly for this but it is so worth it. We can call the doctor and be seen that day or the next.
@JennyLe I hope that will make you feel better. So, I'm 40, I quit my job in administration 8 years ago due to depression (light one) because I could and didn't work since then. In 2018 I started to gain weight and gained 20kg/40lbs. We moved to the USA two years ago. It was stressful but we love California. I started to do CrossFit over a year ago. I love it but I can't do it more than 3 times a week and when I have guests or I'm stressed I don't go at all. I tried to go back to work at the beginning of the year but quit after 2 weeks. It cost me a lot of stress and now I'm afraid to look for something new. I feel like I'm not able to focus on more than one thing at a time so I feel it has to be or job or weight loss and training. Every change is stressing me out. So you are doing great!!
I don't even have kids, we have two cats. And you are doing it ALL!! how?!? I don't know.
You need to hear this. You’re my inspiration! I started watching you since med school and now I’m an intern in Family Medicine. Jen! You’re amazing! ❤❤❤
😍 thanks is so amazing!!!! So happy to hand you on the FM team
Content ideas: Updated day in the life video, weekly vlogs for December, documentary style vid of your training, progress, and preparation for weight lifting comp (if you do it), collab video with dietician
Those are awesome ideas!
Hey! Crazy time of year isn't it? Happy to see a catch-up vlog! Hope you can breath and find some me time... take care!
Love family and home videos, plus Precious Summer!
As a nurse and new mom trying to balance everything in life, I absolutely look to your videos for inspiration. ❤ also love the advice on just do whatever it is fast before doubt and questioning take over the decision. Keep it up!
You're valid in your feelings, period.sending you lots of hugs, and continued encouragement for self care/rest. I can relate 🧡
Thank you 🥰 appreciate you
Great video and we understand.
Hey! I love your content, I would recommend posting what you post as tik toks here as youtube shorts! I personally don't have tik tok but would love to tag along with what you're up to. Also your fitness journey is just awesome to see, and working as a doctor, and full time mom, and small business owner, you are incredible!
I’m going to try not to put too much pressure on this app. Lots of education I want to share
I'm also currently struggling in life right now, so it was comforting to watch your video. It allows me to reflect what my struggles have been and that I have worked hard. Today I felt like others are doing well so I felt disheartened and discouraged because I'm struggling while they are moving forward. I know everyone's timeline is different, but it's hard when I don't have the proof when others do. I'm eager for change, but I'm also careful to not be too eager to rush into things and end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, if that makes any sense. Thank you for reading and I wish for the both of us to continue keeping at it and trusting in the process :)
Hang in there. Comparison is the thrift of joy. We do as much as we can
You are a super mom, keep it up!
As a another mom in the medical field, I feel ya girl!! I’m a NP and I work with a pretty busy spine surgeon and I’m his only APP. My littles are 9,7 and 4. You are an inspiration to me!! Always remember you are enough no matter what is going on in your life. Keep it up girl but take the time to breathe, soak up time with your family, and enjoy the small things. Much ❤
They grow up so fast! I was watching old videos and it’s bitter sweet … the other half of the time they drive me crazy and make me question my life choices 😅
Jenny 🌹 you are an amazing person ❤️
Don't doubt yourself
You are an inspiration!
You are one of the most honest people here on UA-cam!
You motivate me always to be a better version of myself❤️
We love you and we are with you ❤️ always ❤️
Yup, I hear you on your rant. It's ruffffff !!!!!! The demand regarding patient & lack of providers is awful. Push through Jenny I can relate. :) fyi your workout gear is great!
I still have 30 minute appointments thankfully but they always ask if I can’t squeeze in one more person per half day 🫠
I'm rooting for you in all areas of your life. ♡
🥰🥰🥰 thank you
I always tell my kids to aim for done not perfect. 😊 Sorry, you are overwhelmed right now. My daughter is a first born and tries to tackle so many things at once then gets burnt out. It’s important for her to take time to herself and take days off of all the activities. If you are feeling like it’s all too much, I would say remove things from your plate. Competitions will always be there. The kids won’t always be little (enjoy them). Investing can take care of the student loans. I would recommend taking care of you and not feeling like you need to help the world. My dad has had several strokes and I take care of him with zero compensation and he is mean. I am finally asking for help and it’s out there. I can’t be everything for him and nothing for myself. I hope you feel better and get to relax more. Breathe, do some yoga, and pray. ❤️
I literally jumped for joy when I got the notification 🤣 the way I ❤️ J.
🥰🥰🥰🥰
The struggle bus is real!! I don’t know what it is, Mercury in Retrograde, Seasonal Changes, Holiday Madness or if it’s just SOL but I can totally relate. Hang in there
You too Tina! We’re in it together
You're awesome! I've been following you since you were in med school. As a fellow physician and powerlifter, I don't recommend cutting for your first meet. Just go out there and have fun and see if you like competing. Don't add that extra pressure.
True that’s what I’ve been reading … I’m literally at the edge of 60kg some days I’m 1kg more.
I was thinking about you! Things will turn around and when I get some extra money I will definitely support your activewear. The leggings look amazing!
You are the sweetest! Thank you! Hopefully they were happy memories of me
First saw your Chit-chat GRWM video ... And then started binge watching your videos... It's been 5-6 yrs I guess... YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION JENNY ❤️... I always come and watch your vlogs... Listen to your advices... Watch you work so so hard and think what can I do now to make things better and to handle situations better... You're like an elder sister I wish I had ❤️... I want you to know that you're More than enough and that everything will happen at the right time... I've all my faith in the person you are, because you're so hardworking and I believe all the results you'll get will always be good and useful for you 😌❤️ Sending Lots & lots of love and positive energy for you ❤️
🥰 thank you! You being here means so much to me.
As a Fam Med PGY2... 1) I love your channel!!! And 2) I appreciate you sharing all of these details of your life.... making the time to share all that you do AND doing all that you do is something I admire and has been and will continue to be helpful for me and my life/career. Thank you!
You are half way done!! That’s amazing. Have you started interviewing for a real adult doctor job?
@Jenny Le not yet. I just got this book called "Power Moves: The Doctor's Ultimate Guide to Contracts & Negotiations". My goal is to finish reading it and develop what I'm looking for in my first job by the end of the year and start looking in January. If you have any tips of where/how to start looking I'm all ears. I've heard there are services where recruiters call you with job opportunities (but that the calls never stop even after you get a job or ask). I've also got a link from a friend yesterday for physicians practice link. And then I heard I should look for practices where I want to practice and call to see if they are hiring.
I have an advisor in my program so I'll ask them too. But definitely still figuring it all out
Yes! So all we did was google search offices and hospital in the area we wanted to live. Reached out to their HR even if they didn’t have any job postings and sent cover letter/resume.
I love you Jenny!!! You are such a freaking inspiration!!! Girl, you are over there lifting mountains, talking about needing to get stronger!!! You are most definitely strong af!!! You are focused and handling business and family and I applaud you, dear 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 try to celebrate the little wins during this season to uplift yourself... I'm rooting for you and yours, Queen 👑
❤️❤️❤️ thank you! I do need to celebrate the little everyday successes. It’s my critical brain I need to shed.
Honestly, you achieve so much and have so many talents and skills and so much intelligence and emotional strength and literal strength and you are devoted to so many different things with so much love and effort that it would be exhausting to even try to name a fraction of them, so it’s not surprising that you get overwhelmed with that sometimes. I think as a model for human achievement and as a role model in general you are great on so many levels and a great example of how to hold everything together. I’m not half the superhuman you are or even close, but no matter who we are there is always a point where we get pulled in too many directions and sometimes there isn’t enough time in the world. I wish I knew what to say about the feelings of inadequacy. It’s never as easy as affirming someone is good enough. I guess a question might be to ask yourself what might make you feel adequate enough to let some of the burden. If you can’t find the answers to be more at peace than maybe more space to find them in the moment might help. I think there are those times where a pause and a reset or a shift can help to refocus. I hope all the people and comments and some time to self reflect through your vlog can be a source of meditative support when you might be feeling overwhelmed and that it helps you to refocus. Wherever you want to put your efforts I know you will only succeed and grow in whatever direction motivates you and helps you feel complete. We are never really done but we are always complete. As far as a fear of failure goes, recently I’ve picked up some new hobbies and a piece of advice I liked is that it didn’t matter how perfect the results were and that the act of following through would plant a seed and I know you are used to growth in all kinds of spaces so you have proof of your ability to grow and achieve in any space. As long as it’s what you want you have no reason to doubt yourself and failure is just a word. Really it’s a stepping stone. I guess I’m saying that you should prioritize and limit growth by listening and responding to your needs and prioritize your inner voice. The holidays are a tough time even in the best scenario and the level of stress people go through can be crazy. So be good to yourself and be well. Love yourself like you deserve to be loved so you can be at your best.
“We are never really done but we are always complete” I love that. I think just making this video helped me. Not only am I so lucky to have you and everyone here share such great advice but the act of motion and doing has calmed the anxiety a little. I don’t feel as paralyzed. I know I need resets, time to just rest and relax … I’m trying to figure out how to do that 🥲
@@drjennale It warms my heart to know you have processed so much already. I’m really glad. I am totally the kind of person who gets stuck alot and I love to see people be able to get free of that. I think you’ve got major breakthrough skills and yeah vloging really does help alot of people process. just having that space where you are free to speak your mind and process and it’s encouraged and people engage with your thoughts… all that is really valuable and helps so many people. Just being able to let it out is really important. You absolutely rock Jen and you are amazing. Even your ability to love yourself is awesome. I know you’ll be just as awesome today as you are everyday.
❤
End of year is rough for me, too. Holidays, expectations, comparisons, Reminder of time moving by so quickly. Then you have the pandemic "effect," associated PTSD, RSV/Flu/Covid, and kiddo in kindergarten. Luckily we've been healthy with the exception of a 24 hour low fever (our Kindergartner). And our dog needed topical and systemic antibiotics for a skin infection on his nose. Everyone is boosted with the bivalent vaccine. Still taking precautions at work (N95, etc. ). Not going to communal family gatherings at the in-laws (traditionally 30-60 ppl indoors--prior to the pandemic). This is the first year they have had Thanksgiving with more than immediate family. Wait to see if anyone gets sick....yikes. One of the attendees just got back from a bachelor party in Mexico City...smh
Regarding your weight lifting competition, only do it if it will bring you joy. So many things in life bring stress. Don't let your hobby/passion be one of them. BTW you look incredibly fit and toned!
Still have to buy a pair of your leggings to support your business. Perhaps for my wife!!! Not sure I'm comfortable wearing female leggings (although I know Stan was a very masculine model).
Hang in there, Jenny, and if you ever need to vent, just let me know. It's a rough time of year for a lot of people, so know you are not alone and this, too, shall pass. Next thing you know it'll be Spring, then Summer, again.
FWIW, on my days off, I sometimes struggle to get out of bed during the Winter months...
Sending you and your fam love from the city by the bay.
Winter is always the busiest time for us doctors. We just need to get more locums for support
@@drjennale Hang in there. You'll be okay. I, too, worked Thanksgiving day. Miss your longer videos, but always here if you need us. Regardless of how much you post. Main thing is to take care of you and your fam.
-Matt
Jenny I can make a video on your business and website.
I dont see the shorts on the site.
They’re drop in December!
Maybe life is too hard because you have too high expectations of yourself. Technically as long as you’re healthy those high fitness goals aren’t that important. You’re doing great, think of people who don’t even workout 30 min a day and are lazing around doing no work.
Got really good advice saying that if my hobbies become stressful then maybe it isn’t worth it. I think I just need to change my mindset of doing this powerlifting competition just for fun.
A news anchor here in Detroit had his newborn son get RSV . Doctor said it was probably from his 2 year old sister. Doctor told him and his wife that 90 percent of kids and babies getting RSV is probably because of an older sibling.
Ya major of kiddos get RSV before the age of 2. Very common in daycare
Jenny, this is just a suggestion. But perhaps take a break from UA-cam for the whole month of December. Focus on your clothing line, the family, and mental rest. Sending you love from overseas. 🌍🌎🌏❤️🇺🇲🇹🇩
❤️❤️❤️ thank you! This is me coming back after 3 months. But I might extend depending on how I feel.
I've cut weight a few times for other sports (jiu-jitsu mainly), and I would highly recommend losing the weight slowly and over a span of time rather than doing a water cut. I mean, if you're only doing a pound or two, a water cut really wouldn't be too hard, but you'll likely feel a bit depleted and fatigued - especially if it's your first water cut. Between now and May, you can easily lose that amount of weight even with a really conservative cut (like 250 less calories a day). You already know this - focus on protein to conserve muscle and bracket your workouts with a carb/protein snack. You got this! You should just sign up, for the first one: putting yourself out there is the win.
I just signed up 🫣 I’m excited
@@drjennale Yay!! Just go have fun!
He extended school loans, so you won't have to pay in December, not sure the forgivness is going to go through though.
Yes! Got that email!!
I don't know if you know drzdogg channel. He walk away from a good job and position in one of the good hospital in Fremont CA. Because he is facing alot of mental health during his work there. One day he make a choose to quite his job ( I am not sure if he still practice in ca ok). I know he has own practice place and doing youtube. He look more happy now. I am not asking you quite your job right now but if that the option and find a job somewhere and/or start your own practice and UA-cam.
Drzdogg! Ya I follow him on UA-cam. His videos haven’t popped up in a while but I know he was doing lives a few years ago. School loans force most doctors to continue slaving away to the system. Maybe one day I can have my own practice
🤦🏻♀️
@drjennale hey doctor have you experienced and see with a patient with a erythropoietic protoporphyria in your field. I know you can't give any information about your patient but dude how you handle that case
I took a health care law but I am thinking how the fuck you treat that case. By looking and reading some books. That the office and the hospital need to have specific light to have and the patients needs to wear specific clothes. But how that going to work with the er and Ed, icu and other area in the hospital.
