Lyndsey uses the word "propelled" to describe how she got two bachelor's degrees, two master's degrees AND held down a part-time job while being involved in global health. She got her MPH and worked part-time while in PA school! Lyndsey is very involved in global health and worked for a year in South Africa teaching PA students (called Clinical Associates there). After years of working 6 days a week she finally hit a wall, becoming frustrated with patients, a clue for her that she was experiencing burnout.
Before we get to the take-home points of the interview, group coaching is now starting after Labor Day (9/13), so if you haven't signed up, it's not too late.
More info here. Only $149 for 8 wks. It's just for PAs this round and will be one hour every Friday. If you can't do Fridays, reach out anyway and we'll discuss alternative days.

Show notes:
What are you giving up (for your future) with the decisions you’re making in the present?
Figure out what kind of framework you want for your life in 5 years and ask yourself what decisions you can make right now that’ll set you up for that
Notice if you’re getting frustrated with patients, this is often an early sign of burnout. Can you find a way to deal with that frustration that empowers both you and your patients like educating them about their condition?
Ask “who takes care of me?” Are your needs getting met? How can you show up for yourself and meet those needs?
Boundaries: Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Ask yourself why you’re saying yes when you really mean no. Are you saying yes because you feel obligated? Will saying yes sacrifice your needs or your ability to provide good patient care?
Ask if the money is worth it? What are you giving up for the money?
Think of your time in terms of a scale. Sometimes adding in things that you’re passionate about helps tip the scale away from burnout, but it’s a conscious choice and requires stepping back and looking at how you’re spending your time.
