Episode 046: Have you ever wondered why the data typically shows that women physicians are more burned out than men?  It's probably multifactorial, but I believe there's a deeper, more insidious driving force contributing to burnout in women physicians--our female social conditioning.  As women, we've been conditioned to think about ourselves in ways that drive us to over-work, over-perform and over-function.  In today's episode, we'll explore the 3 most common mindsets that contribute to burnout and why simply being aware that these mindsets are at play can create a massive shift.   To learn more about how I help women physicians stop gaslighting themselves and permanently recover from burnout, visit my website www.theembodiedmd.com to learn more.

Episode 043: What if I told you there's a way to immediately shift whatever you're experiencing in any given moment?  There is.  The way to do this by asking yourself better questions.  There's a famous quote in the personal development world that "the quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself."  During our inner dialogue, all of us ask ourselves questions all the time.  But when we ask lower quality questions, we get lower quality answers that keep us stuck in states of confusion or helplessness.  When we ask higher quality questions, it opens us up to higher levels of information. Here's what you'll learn in today's episode: How to correctly use our brain's "search engine" to ask better questions How asking questions fits into the cognitive triad (think-feel-do cycle) The difference between high quality and low quality questions 5 high quality questions you can ask yourself to get out of any mental rut To learn more about how women in medicine can shift chronic stress, burnout and overwhelm from the inside out, click HERE to download my free Burnout Recovery Guide: https://resources.theembodiedmd.com/burnout-recovery-guide

Episode 042: In today's episode, we'll discuss the importance of embracing the full spectrum of our thoughts, feelings and sensations--not just the comfortable ones.  As one of my mentors Brooke Castillo of the Life Coach School says often, life is 50:50.  When we put pressure on ourselves to feel positive or happy all the time, then we're not embracing reality.  That just leads to more pain and suffering in the long term.  It takes approximately 90 seconds to allow an uncomfortable emotions to pass through you like a wave.  When we embrace all facets of ourselves, then we can model this level of embodiment for our patients which will in turn help them to do the same.

Episode 041:  Humans hate change.  That's partly a survival instinct because anything new and different could be dangerous.  So we're naturally wired to be cautious and resist change.  However, our ability to achieve our goals and dreams is directly proportional to our capacity to change.  So it's important to understand that 95% of our behavior comes from the unconscious part of our mind.  It's the part of our mind that we're NOT consciously aware of yet it has a huge impact.   But if you don't understand this, you might think you just lack motivation or you don't have the right information.  You might judge yourself and try to push even harder.  So to change your behavior and move forward, you have to update the  old programming.  The way to do this is: 1) Excavate the programs that your system is currently operating from. 2) Determine if the current programs are giving you the result you want. 3) Create change on the mind + body + environment levels to create the results you want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To  learn more about my 360-degree mind-body-environment approach to  coaching and understand your unconscious patterns more, sign up for my FREE 5-day Burnout Bootcamp.  Click >>> HERE to register.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Episode 040:  Resistance is something that we all experience, ESPECIALLY when we're on a personal development journey.  Since our nervous system is wired for safety and survival, it will often get activated when we're trying to do something new--even if it's the best thing for us.  Achieving the next level of success requires you to step beyond your comfort zone which will naturally bring up resistance.  How you rise to the challenge and handle resistance is huge.

Episode 039: Most people think resilience is about being tough and rigid but it's actually about being flexible and adaptable.  According the American Psychological Association, "Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to  difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental,  emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and  internal demands."   When you are experiencing chronic workplace stress, your nervous system spends a lot of time in hyperarousal (fight or flight) or hypoarousal (freeze).  Resilience is not so much about being tough and hard on the outside.  It’s not about resisting the ups and downs of life and career.  It's actually about leaning into it--being flexible and flowing with whatever is happening.
