Did you enjoy today's podcast? Share it with another PA and subscribe! If you want more information about healing from burnout or want more resources and information (including my free mini book on recovering from burnout), come on over to my ⁠⁠site⁠⁠. Find out more about coaching or upcoming events. I'd love for every one of you to pop over and say hello! Take home points: Be intentional about relationships and invest in them early on and throughout your career. PAs have a remarkable skill set that transcends the practice of medicine. We can literally work in any industry (sales, communication, tech, publications, research, leadership, etc.) Always look for a sense of joy in what you do. Misery is not an option. If you're miserable, stop doing what you're doing and find something else as soon as possible. Prioritize balance in your life. Know what you want in your center. Live with intention and purpose Figure out WHAT you want, HOW you're going to achieve it, WHY it matters to you, and WHEN you want to do it. Time is finite. Allocate the time and resources you have in order of your priorities. Forgetting your core priorities or who you are as a person can lead to burnout. Invest time in contemplating who you are and what matters to you. Life favors the specific ask and punishes the vague wish (quote by Tim Ferris) For Terry's LinkedIn link, click⁠ here⁠ Podcasts mentioned: ⁠Smart Less⁠, ⁠Tim Ferris Show,⁠ ⁠Huberman Lab⁠, ⁠The Drive with Dr. Peter Attia --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coachhopecook/message

Om Podcasten

Are you a PA struggling with burnout, career overwhelm, or just life in general? Do you love your career some days and other days wonder what the heck you were thinking when you chose to spend your days married to medicine? Or maybe you’re a mom like me and find it impossible to “do it all” so you end up feeling like a failure more days than not. I created this podcast because I’ve been there, which is also why I became a life coach. I now help other PAs like you get off the struggle bus of burnout. The tips, tools, and talks in this podcast are exactly what I needed when I was burned out!
