Are you a medical provider struggling with burnout, career overwhelm, or just life in general? Do you love your career some days and other days wonder what the heck you were thinking when you chose a career in medicine? Or maybe you’re a mom like me and find it impossible to “do it all." I created this podcast because I’ve been there, which is also why I became a life coach. I now help other healthcare professionals like you get off the struggle bus of burnout. The tips, tools, and talks in this podcast are exactly what I needed when I was burned out!

#256: What Would You Keep If You Started Over? Essentialism, Burnout, and the Courage to Cut the Crap So You Can Finally Breathe Again

In this episode, I’m diving into the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown—aka the book my podcast guest, Rick Yarosh (last week's episode) recommended and the book I wish I’d read before I burned out the first time. If you feel like your life and career are one giant scribble of overcommitment, guilt, and busyness, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about how to get clear on what really matters, how to stop saying yes out of obligation, and why having a choice changes everything.

I’ll share the top pearls from the book—like how to create a zero-based life budget, how the sunk cost fallacy keeps us stuck, and why your “meh” obligations might be crowding out your joy. This isn’t about becoming lazy or dropping all your responsibilities—it’s about reclaiming your time, energy, and sanity. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your job, your schedule, or your own people-pleasing habits, this episode will help you cut through the chaos and start choosing your life again.
