DGM #047: Stethoscopes, Strollers & Starting Over: Rising from Burnout to a Life You Love with Dr. Toya

Hey doc! Let’s talk about what happens when life forces you to pause, reflect, and choose yourself in a way you never have before.

This week, I sat down with Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson, OBGYN, physician coach, and the creator of the Connected Motherhood Experience — for a powerful conversation about the evolution that happens when you finally start living on your own terms. From navigating cultural shifts as a Caribbean student in the U.S., to surviving a traumatic residency, to reclaiming her joy in early motherhood, Dr. Toya takes us through every twist and turn that brought her to where she is now: leading physician moms through burnout recovery, mindset transformation, and true self-connection.

We talked about what it feels like to hit burnout more than once, how her postpartum experience became the unexpected catalyst for her coaching journey, and the deep liberation that comes from finally honoring your own needs. Dr. Toya’s story is one of resilience, faith, and radical permission — to slow down, to pivot, and to build something deeply rooted in purpose.

If you’ve ever felt like you were made for something more, but didn’t know where to start, this episode is your invitation to begin.
