You're doing all the right things but still feeling that disconnect between your values and the reality of medical practice?

Do you sense a gap between what you envision medicine to be and what it truly is in its current state?

In this episode, I interview Dr. Taylor Nichols, EM and addiction medicine physician to talk about some of the existential questions facing medical professionals today.

Namely- how to navigate when your expectations and your idealistic desires to help people- don’t match up to the day-to-day reality we face in the system.

You’ll learn why at the age of 7 Taylor decided he wanted to dedicate his life to saving other people

and what happened when he hit a wall after working frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you are wondering whether you should stick it out in the current system or find your own path forward this episode will empower you to make the choice that is best for you.

Do you ever find yourself commiserating about how burned out or sleep deprived you are?

Sometimes we aren’t just commiserating… we are actually competing. To see who slept the least and who worked the most. We wear our burn out like it’s a badge of honor.

But does it have to be this way?

Do we HAVE to keep sacrificing our health and happiness to be of service to others?

In today’s episode, I interview Dr. Bryce Bowers, host of the Badge of Burnout podcast and substack to answer that question.

He shares his experience with wearing the shiny badge of burnout and his realization about how useless this badge was when he hit a rock bottom with his mental health.

During the conversation we uncover the paradoxical approach that helped Bryce the most on his burnout recovery journey.

This episode is such a good reminder that serving others doesn't have to mean losing ourselves.
