My story as the doctor who burn out
Feb 10, 2025
I have a confession to make.
For years, I was the doctor who had it all on paper—multiple diplomas, a thriving medical career, and a deep understanding of neuroscience. And yet, I found myself burned out, overwhelmed, and struggling under the very stress I was supposed to help others manage.
I didn’t just study stress—I lived it. And that experience changed everything.
That’s why I’m launching Master Stress with Dr. S, a podcast designed to help high-achievers like you unlock your full potential by mastering stress. In my first episode, I share my personal journey—from medical training to burnout, and ultimately, to transformation.
🎧 Listen to Episode 1:
In this episode, I open up about:
✔️ The pressure of high-performance careers
✔️ The turning point that made me rethink everything
✔️ How understanding your own neuroscience can help you break free from stress
This is just the beginning. In future episodes, I’ll share science-backed strategies, expert insights, and practical tools to help you navigate stress, perform at your best, and create a life of balance and fulfillment.
I’d love for you to tune in and let me know what resonates with you.
