If trying harder hasn’t helped you escape burnout, maybe it’s time to stop pushing—and start trying a different way.

Most doctors are wired for effort. When things feel off, we go into fix-it mode—work more, study harder, push through. But what if the real solution to burnout isn’t more effort... it’s different effort? 

In this episode, we unpack why forceful effort keeps you stuck and how shifting your approach can actually lead to more progress and more peace.

In this episode you’ll learn how to:

• Stop forcing things that aren’t working—and start seeing progress that feels natural and aligned
• Move through life with more ease—without sacrificing your ambition or drive
• Use your energy more efficiently so you’re not constantly running on empty

Press play to learn how trying differently—not harder—can finally give you the relief you’ve been chasing.
