Dr. Mark Shrime is a surgeon, coach, author, and decision science expert, but his career wasn’t always this aligned. In this episode, he shares how he went from burnout and uncertainty to building a life and practice that reflect his values.

Dr. Shrime opens up about the 10-year journey between his first moment of doubt and finally stepping away from traditional medicine. He talks about the importance of small, consistent steps, and the freedom that comes from realizing most decisions aren’t permanent. He also explains why we’re often wrong about how a decision will make us feel, and how learning to trust yourself can be the first step toward meaningful change.
