But what if all those tweaks are just delaying the inevitable? In this episode, we explore how to recognize when your medical career has truly run its course… before burnout drains you completely.
You’ll learn:
- How to identify the subtle but powerful signs that you're staying out of guilt, fear, or obligation
- The “tweak to tolerate” trap—and why it keeps doctors stuck in survival mode for years
- A new framework for making your decision from clarity and self-honor, not exhaustion
Listen now to receive the permission you’ve been waiting for—to choose yourself before burnout forces your hand.
