“I’ve done all the right things, so why am I not happier?”
If that question has ever crossed your mind, you’re not alone.
So many women physicians reach this moment and immediately question themselves.
Am I just stressed?
Do I need a vacation?
Or is this actually growth asking for my attention?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lillian Emlet, physician educator and certified professional energy leadership coach, to talk about what these inflection points really mean
We explore how to recognize when you’re outgrowing a role, how to tell the difference between stress and expansion, and what it actually looks like to say yes to yourself without burning everything down.
If something in you has been whispering, “There’s more,” this conversation will help you listen differently.
