How to Know If You’ve Reached the End of the Road in Medicine Before You Burn Out Completely | 🔥 A millennials hot take on common career change advice for doctors
What if you didn’t have to hit rock bottom before realizing it’s time to walk away from medicine?
So many doctors stay in medicine long past the point of alignment—trying to “fix” themselves, change jobs, adjust schedules, or force a better mindset. But what if all those tweaks are just delaying the inevitable? In this episode, we explore how to recognize when your medical career has truly run its course… before burnout drains you completely.
You’ll learn:
- How to identify the subtle but powerful signs that you're staying out of guilt, fear, or obligation
- The “tweak to tolerate” trap—and why it keeps doctors stuck in survival mode for years
- A new framework for making your decision from clarity and self-honor, not exhaustion
Listen now to receive the permission you’ve been waiting for—to choose yourself before burnout forces your hand.
