If you struggle with saying YES all the time (even when you want to say no!)
If you are feeling resentful that your work is taking over your life.
If you wish you could have better work life balance.

This podcast episode is especially for you.

On this weeks episode of the Life After Medicine podcast I interview Dr. Maryna Mammoliti, Canadian trained psychiatrist and leadership and boundaries coach.

Dr. Mammoliti is an expert on boundaries and is  literally writing the book right now on how to create healthy boundaries for the modern day physician.

In the episode we discuss:

• Her own traumatic experience that showed her the importance of setting boundaries (which actually involved being assaulted by a patient at work)
• How medical training conditions us to be people pleasers and say YES all the time
• How we can realistically empower ourselves to say NO more often
• Dealing with the consequences and fall out that can happen when you say NO
• How to get started setting your own boundaries

And so much more!

This episode is packed with realistic and tangible advice on how to set boundaries - so you can finally develop a more sustainable work life balance.

I can't wait for you to listen in!

If you are starting to have fantasies about jumping in your car, driving away and never coming back.

If you are feeling jealous of your patients who are sick.... because at least they get to rest.

If you don't have the time or energy to practice self care- and you get frustrated when people even suggest it.

This episode is for YOU.

You are at a low point of burnout and feeling hopeless and trapped with no way out. There is ONE thing you absolutely need to do that will help you start to recover from burnout AND get some clarity and perspective in your career.

Listen in on this solocast where I discuss

• Clear signs that YOU need to take an extended break
• Reasons that we don't take a break and rationalize "pushing through" (and how to reframe these)
• Tangible steps you can take to get some job protected, extended time off.
• What to actually DO on the break once you take it (this part I read actual pages from my journal when I took my leave of absence during residency)

This episode is part pep talk, part practical guide to actually taking some time off to rest. I can't wait for you to listen in!

Are you sick of being trapped in a healthcare career with rigid hours? Do you crave the flexibility to rearrange your schedule last minute to take care of yourself of your family’s needs? 

Do you wish you had the freedom to work from a coffee shop or go on a run in the middle of the day?

Our guest this week, Dr. Cherisa Sandrow, has created this exact set up for herself. She was working as a busy family physician with a concentration in OB when she realized the lifestyle was not sustainable. 

She began working part time in telemedicine and after a year she doubled her income. She was making more money and working less.

On the podcast Cherisa and I discuss:

• The mindset changes necessary for success as an entrepreneur
• How creating freedom and flexibility gave her space to explore self care and personal interests
• 10 things you MUST know before getting started with telemedicine
• Why mentorship is such a game changer when making a career change

This episode is full of #lifestylegoals and inspiration as well as practical tips for anyone considering a career in telemedicine.

Would you love to enjoy your work, make decent income, AND have a good personal life outside of work... but it just doesn't seem possible. 

Why does it feel so out of reach? What is really standing in the way of you finding work you enjoy?

In this weeks episode I go into:

• How your belief in what's possible influences your results and outcomes.
• Five of the most common limiting stories I hear around finding work you enjoy and how to start unpacking them.
• Why you might not need a new degree to change career paths
• Unconventional jobs that can earn you a 6 figure salary.

And so much more!

This episode is based on one of my favorite Brene Brown quotes:

"Squandering our gifts brings distress to our lives. As it turns out it's not merely benign or too bad if we don't use the gifts that we've been given. We pay for it with our emotional and physical well-being."

During this episode I talk about

• The consequences of not doing fulfilling work
• Releasing the pressure to monetize every hobby
• Questions you can ask to start exploring your gifts and talents
• Helpful mindsets to adopt on your path to fulfillment

Do you feel like you try to contort yourself to fit into the box of what an “ideal healthcare professional" should be?

You tell yourself that you should be able to see patients more quickly, be more efficient in your documentation, and that you shouldn’t feel so stressed out and tired at the end of the day.

This week’s guest Dr. Matthea Rentea kept trying to force herself into the mold of what the ideal physician should be. She felt silly being so burnt out when she was only a few years into her clinical practice.

However, when she finally started to accept herself and acknowledge the source of her discontent she started designing an authentic and fulfilling career.

In this episode Matthea and I discuss

• Why accepting herself and her constitution was KEY to creating a more fulfilling career
• The exact mindset shifts she made to help her career transition
• Tuning into your intuition to get career clarity
• How to take a compassion pause to insert more mindfulness into your every day
• Resources for overcoming imposter syndrome.

This is such an incredible conversation and I am so excited for you to listen to Matthea’s beautiful vulnerability and practical wisdom.

Do you think of yourself as a creative person? Do you ever feel an urge to draw, paint, write or start playing music, but immediately start to second guess yourself?

Our guest this week, Dr. Kricia Palmer was always a creative kid growing up. She started off college majoring in dance and dreamed of being a dancer, but ultimately chose to pursue medicine instead.

As early as residency, she realized that something didn't feel quite right in her medical career. She felt a pull to be more creative and started to fall in love with interior design. Several years into clinical practice she left to stay home with her kids, went back to school for interior design and now has created her own interior design business "House Calls for Physicians". 

During this episode Kricia and I talk all about

• Deciding when to monetize a passion or just keep it as a hobby
• Dealing with haters and guilt as you transition out of clinical medicine
• Cultivating a beginner's mindset so you can try new things without being perfect right away
• Tips on cultivating and practicing creativity as a form of self care- even if you aren't an artist.

If you've been struggling with the idea that "I'm not creative", this episode will give you such powerful inspiration to reclaim your relationship with creativity.

Dr. Kricia Palmer helps women physicians create uplifting, mindful homes so they can kick back, relax and enjoy life.

Have you ever had a panic attack? That acute feeling of terror that something is horribly wrong. A sense of impending doom, that any moment now you could just drop dead.

In this episode I share with you...

• My personal experience coping with panic attacks
• What panic attacks are and why they occur
• How I approached my panic attacks while I was working in medicine, and what I do differently now to manage them

If you feel like you are experiencing a stress overload, this episode will help you learn how to better navigate these periods of extreme stress.

Have you ever found yourself caught up on the treadmill of achievement?

Where you are constantly chasing down the next goal, comparing yourself to others and living your life for other people’s approval.

During her anesthesia residency, Dr. Dawn Baker was unintentionally caught up in this treadmill of achievement. She was working long hours and preparing herself for a competitive fellowship, until she started experiencing a host of non-specific symptoms that culminated in a scary diagnosis and a surgery.

Getting sick was the wake up call that she needed to jolt her off the treadmill and  bring her back to her values and to what was important in her life.

During this episode Dawn and I discuss…

• Her reasons for going into medicine in the first place, and what caused her to veer off course
• The diagnosis that served as a wake up call and changed everything
• The practice of creating a well balanced, well rounded life
• Creating space to follow your interests and passions
• Avoiding the dangerous trap of comparing yourself to others

Dawn's story is truly inspirational and I am so excited for you to listen in.
