Hello, dear readers!

Can’t believe it’s mid-July already. I hope you’re having a good season so far, whether you’re in the heatwave summer, the chilly autumn, or the rainy tropics.

I’m coming with a short and sweet invitation for you today.

Since the beginning of this newsletter (almost two years ago) I’ve been lucky to have so many of you reading and commenting through my posts, sharing doubts, feedback and opinions, or replying to my emails—even more after a viral message on Threads back in January brought over 2500 of you here!

I love the way in which conversations form around a certain topic in the comments section every time. As a writer, this is always an instant source of joy, making our words feel purposeful and alive.

Also as a writer, this job can be a very lonely one when we spend hours on end reading, researching and writing. I love an online life and presence, but I also love personal interaction, friendly chats and deep, meaningful conversations that go beyond healthcare.

For this reason, I am bringing a new feature I haven’t offered here before—a free 30-min coffee chat call!

I have always loved talking to patients. Even when we only have a few minutes, time and connection can always surprise us in the most unimagined ways. An unexpected share, a hug, a few good laughs or tears, a shared connection, interest or hobby. There are so many stories to learn from even in the midst of a medical consultation.

And since expanding towards writing—which is quite different from being on a consultation office, I really feel that getting to know my readers (and viceversa) is the perfect next step. Whether you speak English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian—and even a little Hindi!—I’ll be more than happy to connect.

I’ve opened up a limited number of time slots through the next two weeks for all subscribers. If you’re interested on jumping on a 30-minute virtual coffee chat to meet up and talk about life, share or ask something meaningful, please just book yourself in. It’s free. :)

If the times available don’t suit you, feel free to hit reply to this email and we'll find a timezone that fits us both.

I really look forward to this little experiment so we can meet! Thank you for being here.

With love,
Dr. Mariana
