You’re Doing Too Much! How to Break Free Without Breaking Down

Welcome back to the Luxury Rental Doctor Podcast! 🎙️ In this heartfelt and empowering episode, Dr. Rachel Gainsbrugh sits down with Dr. Jen Johann, a dentist-turned-coach, who reveals how she transitioned from burnout to balance—emotionally, financially, and professionally.

If you’re a high-achieving medical professional who feels like you’re doing everything right but still feel overwhelmed, this conversation is your permission slip to slow down, tune in, and reclaim your energy.

Dr. Jen shares her personal journey of becoming mortgage-free by age 35, working only 12 hours a week, and building a business aligned with her purpose—all while breaking free from the productivity = self-worth cycle.

• The warning signs of high-functioning burnout and how her health was the first clue.
• How she became mortgage-free by 35 without sacrificing her quality of life.
• The mindset shift from "do more" to "live fully."

• Why emotional regulation is just as critical as financial freedom.
• How your nervous system affects your money mindset, self-worth, and burnout.
• The truth behind “not feeling enough”—and how to rewrite that narrative.

• Practical tools for grounding that take seconds, not hours.
• How tuning into your basic needs (yes, even bathroom breaks!) starts the healing process.
• Why trendy tactics like cold plunges aren’t always the answer.

• How Dr. Jen shifted from long dental days to a joyful 2-day work week.
• Using affirmations like “I Am Enough” as a neurological rewire tool.
• The power of building your business from a place of alignment, not anxiety.

• Why she and her husband chose a low-cost-of-living area to create financial margin.
• How they stayed focused on their why to stay out of lifestyle inflation.
• Travel, simplicity, and sustainability as key pillars of freedom.

• Emotional freedom is the foundation for financial and time freedom.
• Real success isn't measured by busyness—it's measured by alignment.
• Grounding techniques and nervous system regulation are essential for high-achieving professionals.
• You can be mortgage-free, emotionally healthy, and wildly successful—on your own terms.
• Start small. A daily reminder that you are enough can change everything.

Dr. Rachel is a former pharmacist turned real estate investor with a 7-figure portfolio of luxury mid-term and short-term rentals. She’s helped over 2,700 busy medical professionals break free from burnout and build real estate wealth on part-time hours.
