In this episode, I sit down with Shay Domangue, PA-C, whose career path took a bold and inspiring turn — from hospitalist PA/ internal medicine to building her own social media business in elder care to transitioning to marketing development in the pharmaceutical device industry. She's now the Gulf Coast Field Market Development Specialist in the Renal Denervation business unit for Medtronic and is also raising two little humans (with her husband's help).

Shay shares what it was like to reach a breaking point in clinical medicine and how listening to that inner voice led her to explore something new. She didn’t just walk away — she walked toward a more aligned, values-based life and career.

We talk about the early days of entrepreneurship, the emotional and logistical challenges of building something from scratch, and the surprising role that networking played in her transition into the pharmaceutical industry.

Shay opens up about redefining success, protecting her energy, and how work-life balance has become a non-negotiable in her new chapter. She also drops some hard-earned wisdom for clinicians who are feeling stuck or wondering what else is out there — especially if you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do this for 20 more years.”

This conversation is for you if you're craving purpose, dreaming of flexibility, or just want to hear from someone who's made a major pivot and lived to tell the tale.

If you’re a clinician who feels burned out, stuck, or like you're living the same career frustration on repeat—this episode will hit home. I explore why so many healthcare professionals end up in the same emotional cycles, no matter the job or setting.

I'll teach you The Reframe Game, a powerful mindset tool to help you shift out of defeat and into possibility, even when change feels hard. You'll learn how to spot the “villains” in your burnout story (hint: sometimes they’re internal), how your Enneagram type might influence your stress responses, and why mindset—not just your workplace—is often the missing piece. This is a must-listen for anyone ready to break free from old patterns and find clarity, joy, and renewed purpose in their work and life.

Love y'all, and remember: There's always hope!

Hey y'all, this week, I’m so excited to introduce you to someone who’s doing truly innovative work at the intersection of clinical care and coaching.

Laura Kirk is the Assistant Director of Advanced Practice Providers at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, and she also serves as Vice President of External Education for the Academy of Communication in Healthcare (ACH). She’s a Physician Assistant, a certified life coach, a leader, and a total force for humanistic change in the healthcare space.

In this episode, Laura shares her personal evolution—from practicing PA to coaching advocate to system-level change agent. At UT Southwestern, she’s part of a clinician coaching program designed to support well-being, enhance communication, and ultimately improve patient care.

Laura talks about what it’s like to see coaching integrated into the heart of a massive academic health system, and why it’s worth investing in these skills—not just for personal growth, but for culture change in medicine.

🌟 Key takeaways from our conversation:

1. Self-reflection helps you recalibrate before you crash.

2. Identify what you’re tolerating—and what your practice is tolerating.

3. Coaching transforms not just people, but systems.

4. You don’t have to wait for permission to want more.

5. The antidote to burnout is often found in human connection.

6. “Mentoring up” can reenergize your professional development.

7. Asking humble, open-ended questions creates partnership, not pressure.

8. Finding like-minded peers keeps you engaged and growing.

9. The future of healthcare will require both AI and EQ.

10. Your needs matter—and honoring them is part of being a good clinician.

Laura brings depth, clarity, and a grounded sense of purpose to everything she does. If you’re a PA, NP, MD, or other healthcare professional who’s curious about coaching, leadership, or navigating burnout in a system that often feels dehumanizing—this episode will hit home.

🎧 Listen now and share with a colleague who could use some encouragement—and a reminder that they’re not alone.

My book, Healing Clinician Burnout, How to Heal Your Life and Career, is now available on ⁠Amazon ⁠ paperback and ebook/Kindle.

In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really took to write my book, Healing Clinician Burnout: How to Revive Your Life and Career. Spoiler: it wasn’t just coffee shops and channeling my inner Elizabeth Gilbert. This was a messy, soul-revealing, outline-wrangling journey that almost broke me—and then became one of the most healing things I’ve ever done.

I talk about how writing became therapy (but cheaper!), why I felt called to help the younger version of myself, and how my lifelong habit of journaling—starting way back in third grade—helped me find my voice. I’ll share the real numbers of what it cost, the coaching support I leaned on, and why I didn’t want to just say I “wrote a book”—I wanted to put something out into the world that could actually help people.

We’ll also get into the unsexy parts of publishing, like book marketing and launching while also juggling life and a dermatology job, as well as my big dreams for what comes next. If you've ever wondered what it takes to write a book—this one’s for you.

And maybe, just maybe, by the end of this episode, you’ll feel a little more inspired to share your own story... even if you don't think you're a "real" author yet. (Psst—you are.)

If you’ve ever found yourself charting after hours, eating dinner with one hand while typing with the other, or waking up dreading your inbox full of unsigned notes… this episode is for you.

I’m joined today by Erica D, better known as The Charting NP, a nurse practitioner and charting efficiency coach who helps overwhelmed clinicians take back their time—without cutting corners or compromising care. Erica shares how her own burnout journey led her to completely rethink the way she approached documentation, and why smarter charting was the unexpected key to both better work-life balance and better patient care.

We talk about:

• How to set boundaries around your time and energy (and stick to them)

• Why charting is often the biggest hidden source of burnout—and how to fix it

• Simple documentation habits that can drastically reduce your after-hours work

• How using time-saving tools (like Freed AI) can help you feel more present with your patients—and your family

• What to do if you want to explore a side hustle or coaching business, but feel overwhelmed by the idea of getting started

Whether you’re a PA, NP, MD, or any other kind of healthcare professional, this conversation is your permission slip to rethink your workflow, protect your peace, and build a career that doesn’t cost you your mental health.ERICA'S LINKS:Website: The Nurse Practitioner Charting School https://npchartingschool.com/

Pre-order⁠ my book, Healing Clinician Burnout, How to Revive Your Life and Career, Available 4/18/25If you’ve been living in survival mode—numbing out, overworking, and ignoring your own needs—your relationship with money might be a reflection of all that.

In this episode, Hope dives into the hidden connection between burnout, self-worth, and money mindset—especially for healthcare professionals who’ve spent years sacrificing themselves for the job.

You’ll explore how childhood beliefs about money and success can lead to guilt, restriction, and a chronic sense of “I haven’t earned it yet.” Sound familiar? Whether you’re hoarding PTO, hesitating to invest in your own wellness, or judging yourself for wanting a massage or a vacation, this episode will help you see how financial healing is part of burnout recovery.

We'll talk about:🩺 Why clinicians often struggle to receive—rest, money, or pleasure💸 How old money beliefs are fueling your burnout cycle💡 What it means to give yourself permission to want things💖 How reclaiming your self-worth can shift your spending and your energy🌱 Small mindset shifts that lead to greater financial freedom and emotional health

This isn’t about budgeting apps or cutting lattes. It’s about noticing where you’re still operating like a depleted version of yourself—and learning how to step into the version of you that knows:
"I’m worth it, baby."

Ever found yourself in the same frustrating work situation, toxic relationship, or overwhelming career rut and thought, How did I get here… AGAIN? You’re not alone. Repeating patterns—especially in jobs and relationships—isn’t just bad luck. It’s the result of deeply ingrained thought loops that keep driving the same actions, leading to the same outcomes.

In this episode, we’re cracking the code on why you keep ending up in familiar (and frustrating) situations and, more importantly, how to change the pattern. I’ll break down the sneaky ways our thoughts create our reality, why awareness is the first step to change, and how to shift your mindset so you can finally move forward.

If you’re stuck in a work or life situation that feels like déjà vu, this episode is your guide to interrupting the cycle and rerouting your path—once and for all.

MY BOOK: Healing Clinician Burnout, How to Revive Your Life and Career, will be available on Amazon this summer (hopefully by the end of April, wooo hoooo!!!)

What if the way you’re living now isn’t the way you have to live? Dr. Sarah Wittry hit a breaking point in her medical career, juggling motherhood, burnout, and the crushing weight of doing it all. In this episode, she shares the mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her energy, let go of guilt, and start living with more intention. Plus, the powerful lessons she’s learned from patients at the end of life—lessons that might just change how you show up today. Don’t miss this one!

1. Burnout often begins with self-sacrifice in medicine, but true healing starts with reclaiming your own well-being.

2. In medical training, the thoughts of “uh-oh” are often the first whispers of misalignment—listen to them.

3. When life feels like it’s falling apart, focus on just one thing you can do today to get through this moment.

4. Burnout can shatter the old ways of coping, and force you to rethink how you show up in your  life and career.

5. Mind-body wellness isn’t about rigid routines—it’s about crafting a daily experience that feels aligned and fulfilling.

6. Outsourcing isn’t a luxury; it’s a strategic decision to protect your energy and focus on what truly matters.

7. Guilt fades when you realize that prioritizing yourself actually benefits everyone around you.

8. The biggest regrets at the end of life are not about failures but about the experiences not pursued.

9. The simplest, most ordinary moments are the ones that hold the most meaning in the end.

10. Living unapologetically means aligning your daily life with what lights you up, not what pleases others.
