Life After Medicine: How To Make a Career Change, Beat Burnout & Find Your Purpose For Doctors

There is a culture of shame and silence when it comes to the mental health struggles of healthcare professionals. We feel that asking for help is a sign of weakness. We tend to keep our problems bottled up inside until things get really bad. In today’s episode Dr. Natasha Holmes, a local pediatric doctor, shares her personal experience of burnout and depression in the medical field. You will learn:

How to recognize early symptoms and signs of mental health deterioration
Practical strategies for managing mental health
Ideas for seeking support and communicating about the status of your mental health.

This episode talks about important and necessary topics that aren’t addressed frequently enough in the medical field.

I hope it makes you feel like you are NOT ALONE and you do not have to suffer in silence.

How to Give Yourself Permission to Pursue a Career Change and Find Your Purpose

In her book Untamed, Glennon Doyle says ““I guess women have to almost die before we give ourselves permission to live how we want.”

And it’s something I’ve found to be so true in my experience working as a coach. We don’t allow ourselves to consider making a change until things get SO bad, that we literally HAVE TO.

In this podcast episode, you will learn:

what it really means to give yourself permission
why do sometimes we need to BE OK with letting other people down (yes, talking to all my people pleasers out there)
how surrendering your problems to a greater power can open you up to more solutions and possibilities

Can we make a pact to NOT wait until we “almost die” to start living the lives we want?
