Doctor Me First with Errin Weisman DO

What do you do when you realize you love your job but it's no longer your passion? Find another passion. For Dr. Dena George she found a love of marketing through storytelling. Most physicians don't know how to go about sharing their practice and their message with the world, but Dena does.

Dr. George now works part-time as a physician, a coach, and a marketing strategist using the StoryBrand formula. She loves to help physicians and those in the field of medicine to find the stories that will resonate with their clients and customers. She added in coaching when she realized how many of us struggle with having the confidence to do and be our best.

The StoryBrand formula has helped her to build a business that she loves. She has so much fun amplifying the voice of her clients and pushing them to take their rightful place in their niche. Even when it makes them uncomfortable.

She teases out the underlying message that you're looking to share and makes it completely and uniquely yours. Listen as she shares more about her journey, why StoryBrand, and how she has elevated and pivoted her business through messaging.

What would it mean to you to no longer feel like you are on the brink of collapse? How would it feel to wake up each morning feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to conquer the world? It would be amazing right?

If you're at or nearing burn out, then the only thing you'll be feeling is exhausted, overwhelmed, and ready to quit. After experiencing my own form of burn out, I vowed to help my fellow medical professionals get off the hustle bus and onto the path of healing.

Which is when I started coaching, but coaching is not feasible for everyone… it's true. It's taken me months, but I've finally put together a beautiful course to help you find your balance and stave off burn out. Between me and the wonderful team that I've employed to help make it happen you will be well taken care of.

Listen in to learn more about the course through the frequently asked questions I keep getting. But if you're thinking to yourself, "I just don't have the money." I have a question to ask you… how much money would you pay to never feel burned out again? How much money would you pay to tap into a wealth of energy and passion that you forgot existed?

You have the money… but do you have the will and the drive to do the work and leave burn out behind forever?

In this episode:

[01:43] Ever wondered how many medical professionals experience burn out at any one time?

[02:28] Well… Errin's got the remedy! Her course Burned Out to Badass.

[03:41] The number one question Errin gets - What are we going to do and what am I going to learn in this course?

[06:56] What if you can't make time for the live calls?

[07:42] Third most common question is can we have a different day and time?

[08:53] What if I can't afford this?

[10:12] The final most asked questions are - What if I don't know what I want to do now, what if I don't know what kind of job I want to do next or what if I don't even know what that best life is?

[11:14] If you have questions, drop Errin a line anytime.

[11:41] Get on and let's go from burnt out to badass!

The course is almost ready! In case you haven't been following me, you know, since forever, I created a course! Why? Because not everyone is ready to start talking to people about their issues with burnout and fatigue. Sometimes we just want to do things ourselves!

Just know that I don't necessarily recommend that you go the journey alone. Which is why along with the course I have included upgrades! Yes! It's true! I created the course as a way for all of my wonderful followers to have access to me no matter where they're at with finances. However, if you need more individual attention, you'll have access to yours truly at a discounted rate!

Here's the thing, none of us have time to be burnt out and miserable. If you're ready to take the steps necessary to start healing and growing, then I want to help you do it. No matter where you're at!

If you want to learn more about the course then take a minute and listen as I share how this course came about and what you can expect to find.

In this episode:

[01:32] Errin shares why she decided to do an online course on burnout and how everything progressed.

[04:51] When COVID hit, everything fell apart while creating the course.

[06:09] Does asking for help make you feel weak?

[06:49] Once Errin asked for help, the course was completed within three weeks.

[08:05] Errin shares her 'why' for creating the course.

[09:48] Learn more about the content of the course and how it is laid out.

[11:12] Want a group coaching element? Upgrade and have more support starting August 23rd.

Amidst the growing number of cases and uncertainty, we as healthcare providers know the true extent of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are on the front lines and are more at risk than almost any other person in our nation. What happens if we get it… and then our family members get it?

Carolina Vogel is a medical student whose mother is a registered nurse. After falling ill and being placed in quarantine, she received a terrible call from her mother. She'd fallen ill days before but had been so short of breath she knew it was time to go to the hospital. Listen in to hear all about Carolina's experiences with the Covid-19 virus and why we all need to be sure and protect ourselves and our families. Thankfully her mom is on the mend, but for so many others this pandemic has resulted in tragedy.

"There is power in our stories and there is power in our voice" Dr. Errin Weisman

There you are living your life-long dream of becoming a doctor when you look up one day and realize that this was not what you thought it would be. Maybe you love the science. Maybe you love the work. Maybe you love everything except actually practicing medicine.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a medical career that has nothing to do with practicing medicine. Many medical students realize quickly that while they love medicine, they hate patient interaction and the rounds of true clinical care.

Newsflash, people with medical degrees are a necessity in many organizations and not all of them are practicing in offices or hospitals. Dr. Sylvie Stacy struggled through her first years of residency because she realized that while she loved medicine, she knew regular clinical practice wasn't for her.

She developed a quiz to help other practitioners determine if perhaps other avenues would be appropriate for their skills and through her research realized that there were no solid resources outlining other career paths. So she wrote her own. Listen in to learn more about her story and how you too can find joy in your work again.

"Hey, I'm wired a little differently, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong or broken." Errin Weisman

In this episode:

[01:35] Welcome to the show, Dr. Stacy!

[02:05] Dr. Stacy shares her medical background and the work she has done.

[04:03] Listen as Dr. Stacy speaks about what led her to step out and start doing non-clinical work.

[07:45] Do you know what your superpowers are?

[08:37] Dr. Stacy discusses what motivated her to write the book.

[10:09] Dr. Stacy believes that physicians stay as clinicians throughout their entire careers because they think that is expected of them.

[11:53] Errin shares her husband's struggle when he wanted to step away from education.

[14:10] Dr. Stacy says there is a lot of peer pressure in a clinical setting and it can get negative if you talk about leaving clinical medicine.

[16:38] Dr. Stacy shares about her book, what it's about, and where you can get it.

[19:13] Thank you so much for coming on the podcast, Dr. Stacy.
