WELCOME EVERYONE!

It is time to podcast.

I am so excited to start this part of my journey!

I had an absolute blast recording and editing this episode.

We are officially a podcaster.

LET’S DO THIS!

MY ASKS

* SUBSCRIBE. I love what I’m doing here. It brings me so much joy. If you also love what I am doing, PLEASE subscribe. And, if you are feeling jolly this new year, please consider adding a PAID SUBSCRIPTION. I love this work so much, but it does take a great deal of my time (and I’m still full-time in residency, mind you). Your financial support allows me to create better content to help YOU, so please consider upgrading to a paid subscription for a few dollars ($) a month to help a lowly resident out.

* SHARE. Please share the podcast on here. It is also available on APPLE PODCASTS and SPOTIFY. My ask is to please DOWNLOAD and RATE the podcast on these platforms as HONESTLY as you can. Help me grow - I can’t do it alone!

EPISODE NOTES

* In this episode I break down why I decided to call my blog and podcast “Badge of Burnout”.

* I will share the intimate details of two of the times I burned out in medicine - This is so that you can hear a personal story of what it is like, and so you can not feel like an outcast if you are feeling the same way.

* I will also describe to you all what burnout actually is so that you can recognize if you are heading down this dark path.

* I use the “D’s”, “E’s” and “F's” pioneered by a great burnout and wellness coach Dr. Erin Weismann with examples from my own life to make the point “hit home”.

* Finally, I will give you some of my best tips that I utilize to prevent burnout or undue the burnout that you are currently experiencing.

CONNECT WITH ME

* Ready to professionally connect in order to grow your own brand, side gig, presence and find more helpful content? Find me on both LinkedIn, Instagram and on SoMe Docs

* I’m also messing around on Tik Tok, creating videos with helpful tips on fighting burnout, living life and a little cynicism about this broken healthcare system we are working with.

DISCLAIMER

I am a physician. But the intent and purpose of this podcast and my writing is not to deliver medical advice. It is instead a tool for physicians- and quite frankly, everyone - to learn about burnout, engage in a safe-space community, and hear stories of the host and guests to help all who are listening and reading. If you are in need of medical advice or assistance, please see your own personal primary care provider.
