The Worthy Physician Podcast

Mar 7 2024 • 33 mins

Have you ever found yourself at the brink of burnout, questioning the very path you've dedicated your life to? Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque and her guest, Dr. Goins, share an intimate conversation on the seismic shifts that can occur when a physician dares to blend their passion for travel with the demands of a medical career. Tune in to hear Dr. Goins' riveting account of facing burnout head-on, the existential questions amplified by the COVID pandemic, and her bold move to prioritize well-being over convention. This episode is a powerful narrative on the significance of aligning one's lifestyle with personal values, the courage to confront professional adversity, and the indispensable role of mental health in our lives.

Embark on a voyage with Dr. Goins as she narrates her transformative experience in Cartagena, leading to the innovative concept of Nomad MD. Through this lens, we examine how breaking the traditional work-life boundaries can ignite confidence and a deeper connection with one's intuition. Discover how support systems like NomadMD are empowering doctors to carve individualistic paths, fostering collaboration, and strategic life planning beyond the walls of the hospital. This episode is a dedication to the art of genuine connections, the unexpected kindness of strangers across the globe, and the importance of a global perspective that challenges the narratives we've been led to believe. Join us on this inspiring journey that promises to resonate with anyone who has ever contemplated the delicate balance between career and personal fulfillment.

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
