Do you feel disheartened by the broken medical system? You are fully not alone. The medical is absolutely broken. So many healthcare professionals I know are noticing a loss of personal autonomy and feel a lack of appreciation for the long hours and personal sacrifices they are putting in. And all the failures of the system are adding up to epic rates of moral injury.

But what if you could find a way to work within a broken system… without being broken yourself? I know… I was skeptical too. In today’s episode, my guest Dr. Jimmy Turner author, podcaster, coach, and anesthesiologist breaks down how healthcare workers can actually thrive in a broken medical system.

In this episode you will learn:

• Practical tips for reclaiming your autonomy, sense of belonging, and confidence to prevent burnout.
• How to use thought work to move out of the victim mindset and take responsibility for your emotions in any given situation.
• How to recognize when thought work alone isn’t enough and it’s time to actually CHANGE your situation.

This is such a fantastic conversation full of so many aha moments and I just KNOW you are going to love it.
