Have you ever found yourself caught up on the treadmill of achievement?

Where you are constantly chasing down the next goal, comparing yourself to others and living your life for other people’s approval.

During her anesthesia residency, Dr. Dawn Baker was unintentionally caught up in this treadmill of achievement. She was working long hours and preparing herself for a competitive fellowship, until she started experiencing a host of non-specific symptoms that culminated in a scary diagnosis and a surgery.

Getting sick was the wake up call that she needed to jolt her off the treadmill and  bring her back to her values and to what was important in her life.

During this episode Dawn and I discuss…

• Her reasons for going into medicine in the first place, and what caused her to veer off course
• The diagnosis that served as a wake up call and changed everything
• The practice of creating a well balanced, well rounded life
• Creating space to follow your interests and passions
• Avoiding the dangerous trap of comparing yourself to others

Dawn's story is truly inspirational and I am so excited for you to listen in.
