26. Building a Conscious Relationship with Your Career

Any point of a medical career path can be extremely stressful as it encompasses all aspects of a physician’s life.  It can take up every minute of the day with barely enough time for other priorities.  This imbalance affects the quality of care, relationships, health, and well-being, which ultimately leads to burnout.

Dr. Dike Drummond, CEO, and Founder of TheHappyMD.com is a physician burnout expert with extensive one-on-one coaching experience.  In this episode, he gives examples of how to achieve a conscious planned relationship with your practice.  Dr. Dike also discusses different ways of diversifying income streams and the benefits of having an outlet for passion and purpose, inside or outside of the medical field.

“Perhaps this tool of a conscious relationship can help you take the pressure off your career, take the pressure off yourself to develop the balance, and to rehabilitate your practice into something that works for you and your family going forward.” - Dike Drummond MD
