๐Ÿ’ก What if physician burnout is not just about long hours but about living out of alignment with the life you actually want?

In todayโ€™s episode, Iโ€™m joined by Dr. Olga Deengar, board-certified hospitalist in the U.S. and Canada, certified life coach, founder of Coach Olga MD, creator of the DAMA Method, and host of the Coffee Play Date Podcast. Olga shares her journey from working 70-hour weeks as a full-time hospitalist to navigating a major identity shift when she became a full-time mom after moving to Florida. What followed was a powerful reframe around mindset, purpose, and building medicine on her own terms.ย 

This conversation is about a lot more than burnout. We dive into identity, vision, boundaries, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to stop living on autopilot and start building a life that feels more intentional, aligned, and free. Olga also shares how she built her coaching business, developed the DAMA framework, created alternative income streams, and began practicing medicine in a way that better fits the life she actually wants.ย
