Burnout began to lose its hold on me when I realized my practice should support my life instead of forcing my life to fit around my practice.   In this episode, I share a personal moment when the signs of burnout resurfaced as I was driving to care for my parents. That experience pushed me to look at how I had been structuring my days and reminded me that clear boundaries and intentional choices bring ease and clarity. You’ll also hear from my Catalyst community, clinicians who are designing careers that give them freedom, like taking summers off, choosing the patients they want to serve, and being present for family milestones. We also explore the doubts that so many of us face. Will others judge me for working less? Will my patients stay with me if I change how I practice? How do I know when I’ve done enough?   As you listen, I encourage you to reflect on your own answers. If your schedule reflected your values, what would look different? And what possibilities might open once you decide what “enough” means for you?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Redefining Medical Careers 02:33 Experiencing Burnout Again 05:28 Catalyst Success Stories 06:10 Benefits of the Membership Model 07:36 Epiphany on I-95 09:33 Common Barriers in Medical Practice 10:48 Redefining “Enough” 12:53 Protecting Your Yes 14:18 Catalyst Question: Designing Your Ideal Practice 15:52 The Real Reason We Are Here   Links Midnight Library by Matt Haig Catalyst Advantage Sessions Archetype Quiz   Connect with Lara:  Website The Catalyst Way YouTube Instagram  Facebook LinkedIn TikTok     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
