As physicians in the field of medicine, our work situations vary greatly. Some of us work for a big system, some of us in smaller clinics, and some of us are running the clinics ourselves. But regardless of what your situation is, I want to urge you to be your own boss, and that's what we're going to be diving into in this episode of the Ending Physician Overwhelm podcast.

Being your own boss stems from this idea of of autonomy, and having agency over ourselves and our actions. It's a mindset of leading yourself, making calculated decisions that serve your well-being, and finding freedom in the skills that you possess. 

I know first-hand how easy it is to get lost in the granular picture of work, and in doing so, lose sight of the larger picture. This often results in physicians feeling like all the shots are being called by others on our behalf, but let this episode be a reminder that it doesn't have to be that way. We can all broaden our scope and take control of our work situations.

Of course, this takes effort, and understanding your resources and potential restrictions, and being aware of your career path and life goals. But with time and intentional effort, we can all get to the point where we're serving as our own best advocates, and there's nothing more powerful than that!

So enjoy! And please consider sharing this episode or leaving a review. It really helps us to grow and reach more people.
