Burnout & Being Honest With Yourself

 

Meet former OBGYN turned career coach Chelsea Turgeon, one of my good friends who did something bold that very few people even think about—leave medicine.

Just two friends chatting about navigating life in their late 20s, trust me when I say that you don’t want to miss this one!

In this episode, Chelsea and I talk about:

  • The odd story about how Chelsea and I reconnected

  • Why Chelsea left medicine

  • Achievement, self-worth, and burnout

  • My journey and experience with burnout

  • Looking good vs. feeling good

  • Dealing with guilt and what people think of you

  • The “right kind of hard”

  • Taking care of yourself so you can take care of others

  • What Chelsea did after leaving the medical field

  • Encountering privilege while living abroad

  • Traveling solo

  • Career coaching

  • Chelsea’s book, Residency Drop Out

  • Traditional success vs. happiness

  • Chelsea’s podcast, Life After Medicine

  • Being honest with yourself
