If I were to say that pain doesn't actually exist, what would you think? What if I told you that there's no such thing as a pain receptor, there is only the message your brain is sending you about the situation you're in? Sounds insane right? It's not! Listen in as I chat with Andrea Moore about chronic pain and what the underlying cause is for most people.  Andrea and I have known each other for...

Sometimes when you're the one with boots on the ground, seeing the devastation wrought by a pathogen, you become the person who needs to find a new path. Dr. Jeff Cohn found himself facing a spate of MRSA cases while he was still working in clinical medicine, and rather than continuing to follow outdated CDC guidelines, he used positive deviance to discover inside experts.    What does this mean? ...

Can you imagine being in the middle of med school and deciding that you'd really like to get a law degree as well? Cobin Soelberg did just that and then when he was done with law, he came back to get his medical degree and began practicing in anesthesiology.

When you think of the word "therapy" how do you feel? For so many people therapy has a negative connotation. As if by admitting you need or want therapy, you're somehow deficient. Let's put all that to rest and get you some therapy with Sarah Jenkins Ph. D. One of Sarah's best friends was in medical school while she was getting her degree and introduced her to her now husband. Then when she and he...

A sabbatical is possible for you, even if you're a single mom.  In the last Burntout to Badass Masterclass session we did, one of the attendees said it wasn't possible for her to take a sabbatical. She's a single mom and there's no way without another income she could make it happen. Did I even know anyone who'd done it?  I do. I do indeed! Dr. Elizabeth Hughes was once an overworked, underappreci...

Everyone experiences burnout differently. For Katrina McGhee it was a slow burn that left her totally crispy inside. After going to business school to start what she thought was her dream career, she realized it most certainly wasn't.  She kept pushing through and tried to stay optimistic, but things just kept getting worse and worse. There she was, in her early 30s, living a shell of the life she...

I've said it before and I'll say it again, burnout destroyed my belief system. I did an entire episode on this not too long ago, and it's linked below, but recently something happened and I had to share it with you.  So my husband is still strong in his belief in the Lord and he prays with the kids each night. We've had some really scary monsters under the bed recently and prayer seems to help the...

It was amazing to catch up and see how her business has shifted as she's grown into her entrepreneurial journey. Listen in as we talk all about habits.  Last time Dr. Kristi was on her business focused on habits surrounding alcohol use as a coping and rel...

Have you ever felt like you need to do more or be more for others even when it hurts you? That feeling is a sign that you may have a martyr complex. Many people in service positions do. It's one of the qualities that drives us to service in the first place, but it's time to overcome it.  I did quite a bit of research on this prior to recording this episode because I was fascinated. In a lot of way...

The mean girl in your head needs to take a time out! I know I've talked about her before, but this time I want to talk about one thing in particular. You are NOT lazy! This is how to stop saying it to yourself! I don't know about you, but I've definitely been mean to myself plenty of times in order to find the motivation to do something. The problem is, that being mean to yourself consistently ove...

If you've been listening to this podcast for any amount of time, you know that I'm 100% on the self compassion train. We need to talk to ourselves better. We need to have kinder words for ourselves.

So recently I read an article, and essentially it's all...

It was all about the Errin Sass, but i...

You got yourself here and you can a...

How do you want to feel every morning when you wake up? If you think light and full of energy, then you're in good company. Liz Pearce joins me to chat about why she loves the word buoyancy and what it's like being retired from her practice.  Burnout hit her like a ton of bricks. It took her taking time away and really digging deep to realize that she wasn't living a life aligned with her values....

You didn't get burned out in three months, so it's not going to be cleaned up in three months. Change takes time. For many of us, the tendency toward burnout is fueled by inherent qualities in us. Not that these qualities are bad, but we have work to do to recognize when they push us too far.  Listen to this Career Change Masterclass I did for one of our Burnout Masterclass Series training session...

This made returning to he...
