Ending Physician Overwhelm
I'm Megan Melo, board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine Physician and Physician Coach. In this podcast we talk about the many ways that burnout shows up in our lives, and what we can do about it. I'm on a mission to help Physicians take steps towards to heal burnout by unlearning the habits of perfectionism, people-pleasing and limiting beliefs so that we can lead healthier, happier lives.
The healthcare system is broken; but you don't have to wait until it's fixed to feel better. I'm here to help.

Ending Physician Overwhelm
They Let You Go. Now What? Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You did the hard part last week. You sat with the feelings, let the thoughts tumble out, and didn't immediately sprint toward a job board. Good. Now we figure out what's actually next.
Part 2 is where we get practical, but not in the way medicine trained us to be practical. We're not just dusting off the CV and hitting LinkedIn. We're doing something harder and more useful: getting clear on what we actually want before we start telling people we're available. Because the goal isn't just to land somewhere. It's to land somewhere better.
We start by looking honestly at the finances, not from a scarcity mindset, but from real numbers. Because a lot of us feel more financial pressure than the math actually justifies, and that pressure is what sends us straight into the first job that looks familiar. We also ask the question that tends to stop people cold: what would you tell your friend to do if she were in your exact situation? And then, more importantly, why won't you allow that for yourself?
From there, we work through a set of questions designed to help you use your lived experience as data. What did you tolerate that you won't anymore? What actually lit you up? What does your ideal Tuesday afternoon look like? And then we talk about how to get out there in a way that opens doors most people don't even know exist, because the best opportunities rarely show up on a job board.
This one is worth listening to whether you've been laid off, are thinking about leaving, or are just quietly starting to wonder what else is possible.
If you want to work through these questions with someone in your corner, I'd love to help. Book a free discovery call at https://calendly.com/healthierforgood/coaching-discovery-call and let's figure out your next move together.
