In this episode I share

• How one goal setting workshop catalyzed a year of healing and transformation.
• How choosing sobriety helped me heal social anxiety and find belonging in community.

Have you ever felt a level of burnout that doesn’t make sense for the physical hours that you are working? Maybe just two days after coming back from a vacation you already feel completely drained, or maybe you are working “part time” but still feel a deep level of exhaustion after your 2 day work week. 

Today’s episode is a recast based on one of my most popular episodes and a Kevin MD article that I wrote. It’s a very undocumented and undiscussed cause of burnout- that once you understand it, you will already be on your way to recovering.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The science behind “white lies” and how harmful they can be for our mental and physical health.
• 6 signs that you are being and feeling inauthentic at work.
• How to start “burnout proofing” your career through practicing authenticity.

I’m so excited for you to dive in!

In this episode I share

Do you want a career that gives you FREEDOM and FULFILLMENT, but feeltoo scared to take that leap into the unknown.

It’s hard to walk away from a stable six figure salary. Plus, conventional wisdom says that working as a healthcare professional is the pinnacle of success and job security.

Introducing, Dr. Chris Loo, a fellow residency drop out who is NOT following conventional wisdom and living a life of FREEDOM.

In this episode he shares:

• Why there is no such thing as job security and what you need to do to create financial freedom (hint- it’s NOT relying on an employer)
• How he followed his intuition and dropped out of residency during a financial crisis when everyone thought he was crazy.
• How to take strategic and calculated leaps out of your comfort zone.

If you are struggling to take that leap and follow your inner knowing, Chris’s story will give you the permission and inspiration you need to step out of your comfort zone.
