Do you ever feel like you want to hide under the covers and avoid life? This is how I always used to feel in residency- and recently how I’ve been feeling since my accident.

• Why we experience severed belonging
• How the trauma of working in healthcare during covid likely impacted your nervous system
• How to start downregulating your nervous system so you can move out of survival mode

"What if it doesn't work out? " This is a common fear I hear from so many people contemplating leaving the medical field. Making any sort of life or career change generally requires you to take a bit of a gamble- to jump, hoping that the net will catch you on the way down. In this podcast episode I share how to take the leap in your career- when there are no guarantees.

I share with you....

• Details of my own personal leap out of medicine.
• Stories of leaps that my clients have taken
• The law of vacuum and the Buddhist philosophy of "open palms"
• How to build self trust and develop the courage to take your very own leap

This episode is packed with inspirational quotes, poems and all the things that have helped me jump into the unknown time and time again.

Burnout culture and toxic work environments have become the norm in healthcare. It’s gotten to a point where we don’t even recognize how toxic the expectations are because we are so used to being treated poorly. But this is clearly creating working conditions that are not sustainable for most human beings. In this episode, I talk with Diana Page, Nurse Practitioner and founder of Self Care catalysts about her experience leaving a toxic work environment and developing a personal commitment to self-care. In this episode, you will learn

• What it looks like to self-advocate and set boundaries even when it feels socially threatening
• How self-worth ties into effective boundary setting
• How to know if an institution is truly prioritizing your well-being vs perpetuating further toxicity
• A post-shift reflection tool to help you create more calm and presence after a chaotic shift

This conversation is full of real talk and will help you to know that you are not alone.

Feeling frustrated by the lack of innovation in healthcare? Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit you’ve been dying to express? Do you have ideas you want to put out in the world but ultimately feel too scared or discouraged just to get started?

Entrepreneurship can feel like such a scary and risky path. That’s why I am so excited for today’s podcast convo with Dr. Marjorie Stiegler. We go deep into her back story and dive into how experimentation, boldness, and trial and error ultimately led to her success.

You’ll learn:

• How to “de-risk” your entrepreneurial ventures to avoid big and dramatic consequences of a “failure”
• Why you MUST overcome fear, doubt, and perfectionism to start taking rough, unpolished action.
• How she accidentally made $6000 on her first paid speaking gig.

and sooo many more juicy topics.

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business, this episode will be such an inspiration for you.
