I didn’t get the job — and honestly, I needed that.

In this season finale of Redoctoring, I reflect on my recent interview for a corporate medical role that didn’t go the way I hoped. But behind the “no” was a clear message: corporate medicine is a world of its own — with its own rules, language, expectations, and pace.

In this episode, I unpack what I learned, what I’ll do differently, and why this ‘failure’ might’ve been the best teacher yet.

Whether you’re considering a corporate pivot or just curious about what it’s like on the other side of the hospital walls, this one’s for you.

We made it to double digits — Episode 10 is here!

Today, we’re diving into something that completely changed the game for me: networking.

I used to think networking was reserved for business people. But I’ve learned that, whether you’re deep in the books studenting or deep in the wards doctoring, networking is a vital weapon in your arsenal.

In this episode, I share my personal story and how one conversation can change everything.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about where to begin or afraid to reach out, this one’s for you.

Because we don’t always need more effort — sometimes we just need the right connection.

The growing reality that even the most “essential” professionals in society are now unemployed. In this episode of Redoctoring, I’m saying the quiet part out loud: doctors have been entitled to job security for too long, and now that it’s gone, we don’t know how to respond — or how to communicate the crisis in a way that makes people care.

Let’s talk about how to reframe this moment. This episode is a wake-up call for the profession and a rallying cry to rebrand our messaging — not just for us, but for the communities we serve. If we want to march to parliament and be heard, we need to speak a language people can rally behind.

Failure.

The one thing we’re taught to fear in medicine — and the one thing we can’t escape.

From med school struggles to post-comserve uncertainty, this episode is a raw reflection on the moments that didn’t go as planned.

I open up about my own failures and how I’ve slowly started to see them as part of the doctoring journey, not the end of it.

If you’ve ever felt behind, broken, or misunderstood… this one’s for you.

Most of us were trained to do the job—save the life, finish the shift, survive the system. But what if we stopped to ask: is medicine just a job… or can it be a career designed around the life we actually want?

In this episode, I’m inviting you to take a step back and see your journey from above. Whether you’re a med student already questioning the path, or a tired doctor unsure of what’s next, this conversation is about shifting your perspective.

I share the unexpected moment that made me pause and reconsider everything, and I’ll walk you through the 3 steps that helped me redefine what success in medicine really means for me.

🎧 Tune in if you’re ready to:

— Break free from the hamster wheel

— Think long-term about your career

— Start crafting a life-first, medicine-second path

Have you ever questioned if all the years of studying, sleepless calls, and emotional exhaustion were even worth it? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re stepping away from the usual “just be grateful” rhetoric and instead focusing on the real skill set you’ve built — one that goes far beyond diagnoses and stethoscopes.

From resilience to leadership, emotional intelligence to crisis management — you’ve been training for more than just medicine. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “just a doctor” or scared to pivot, this episode is here to remind you of your depth, your value, and your power.

In this episode, we explore the silent identity crisis so many doctors face, especially during transitions, burnout, or time away from clinical work. I share personal stories from med school, ICU, and community service — plus research that links professional identity with burnout.

You’ll hear about:

• Why doctors struggle to separate who they are from what they do
• The dangers of performance-based validation
• What psychologists call “enmeshment” — and how to avoid it
• How to reclaim your sense of self beyond the hospital

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I when I’m not doctoring?” — this episode is for you.

What if your path as a doctor doesn’t have to be a straight line?”

This episode unpacks the silent pressure to follow a rigid, linear journey through medicine — and what it means to step off that path. We explore the harm this one-size-fits-all script causes, share real-life examples of doctors who’ve pivoted at every stage, and redefine what success can look like.

I also share my personal journey post-comserve — navigating peace, purpose, and the unknown, with Jesus at the center.

You’re not broken. You’re reacting to a system that’s failing you.

In this episode, we unpack the brutal state of medicine in South Africa: doctor unemployment, salary cuts, toxic culture, and the rising trend of working for free.

This is the truth behind the burnout — and why you’re allowed to want more.

You were never meant to be a machine.
