#195: John Albanese, DMSc & PA-C, worked in ER and trauma surgery, but burnout, a new baby, and deep soul-searching led him to Academics. He earned his doctorate and rediscovered joy as a PA professor
John is an inspiration, especially if you've thrived at the top of your game only to realize it wasn't "filling your cup." John realized he was letting work be the driver of his life, and it was leading to burnout and unhappiness. He made the courageous decision to talk to management and admit he was burned out, but they weren't willing to make changes. So he decided it was up to him to make the change. Hear how he made the shift to academics and the effect this had on the other areas of his life. You can find John on Linked In or FB. He's also sharing his email if you want to contact him! If you liked what you heard and want help with your own burnout journey, I'd love to talk. I'm writing a book on how to heal from burnout (due out 1/25), and I have a group coaching starting June 11th.
