In this episode, I sat down with a fellow classmate from medical school, Dr. Anna Esparham, MD.  She is commonly known as Dr. Anna, and is a triple board certified physician in pediatrics, integrative medicine, and acupuncture. 

Dr. Anna has always been adventurous in her daily practice of life, and in she dives into detail about life, career, and personal experience with burnout and chronic pain. 
To say the least, she has an impressive list of accomplishments, including her own spiritual journey that she has had over the last several years that has led her to find her authentic self, which has influenced her career changes/shifts.

-Medicine is time consuming.  Make time for yourself.
-When we become disconnected with our authentic selves, there are consequences.
-Dr. Anna beautifully said, "The more I lost sight of myself the more I lost connection with my spirit."  
-"I am like this combo of  play spirit and just trying to bring completeness and healing with whomever I become connected with and when I am limited in that capacity, I feel I can’t bring out my true gifts."  Don't limit yourself....you limit your potential!
-Trust yourself!  You know.  This is when the healing truly happens.

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
