Dr. Kara Pepper is a practicing primary care Internist and Certified Life Coach in Atlanta, GA, who rebuilt her life and career after burnout. 

In this episode, Dr. Pepper discusses her resets from being a professional ballet dancer to a high-achieving internist checking off the boxes of accomplishments to a physician finding clarity and moving away from a conformist attitude.  Listen in for how she faced and reframed perfectionism, found out that rest is productive and necessary, and reclaimed a sense of self-worth.  We discuss ways to move away from perfectionism and buffering with being busy. 

This is only the tip of the iceberg. She shares what works for her and for other doctors she has coached.
