#252: Gamify Your Way Out of Burnout: How Old-School Games Like Red Light, Green Light and Hide and Seek Can Help You Outsmart Career Stagnation
Feeling stuck in your career? Burned out, disillusioned, or just... done? What if the secret to getting unstuck isn’t in another checklist—but in the games you used to play as a kid?
In this episode, I explore how classic childhood games like Red Light, Green Light, Hide and Seek, and Mother May I offer surprisingly powerful metaphors for navigating clinician burnout. These aren’t just cute analogies—they’re strategic tools to help you pause, notice what’s working (and what isn’t), and take small but meaningful steps forward.
You’ll learn:
It isn't always what you're doing, sometimes it's how you're doing it.
How to stop playing it safe and start having fun again
Identify what you’re hiding from
Redefine what winning looks like in your career
This isn’t about pretending things are fun when they’re hard—it’s about learning to outwit burnout using curiosity, awareness, and strategy. Because sometimes, the way forward isn’t force—it’s finesse.
