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
What If Your Career Were a Business? (but not in the way you think)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the reminder to renew your license isn't an insult, just a line item in a business you didn't know you were running?
Most of us never took a business class, and we can still tell you exactly how it feels when the CME reminder arrives and no one offers time to do it. This week I want you to try on a different frame: your career is a business, and you are the one thing that makes it run.
We walk through the three core pieces of any business (a value proposition, a target market, and a revenue model) and what each one looks like whether you're employed or you own the practice. Then we get to the part I think changes the most: what it means to treat yourself as the talent, and who is actually on your team. It gets much easier to drop the resentment about the tasks nobody does for us once we decide when and how they happen.
Here's a taste of what's inside:
- Why your employer, not your patient, may be your real target market, and how that changes the way you walk into your next evaluation.
- Why "we are not a charity" isn't a cold thing to say, even to the kindest doctor in the building.
- Who counts as your team, from the nanny to the meal service, and what to do when your circle is thin.
- How to stop being furious about license renewals, the DEA and CME hours, and simply decide when they get done.
Press play, and let's take some of the drama out of it.
