This week, I’m excited to share my conversation with Dr. Archana Shrestha, an emergency physician, certified life and weight coach, and founder of the Mama Docs School. Dr. Archana is passionate about helping women in medicine overcome burnout and achieve lasting weight loss. In this episode, we dive into the 4 habits we learned during med school training that are negatively impacting our health and weight:

1. Disconnecting from our bodies' needs
2. Mindless eating
3. Scarcity around food
4. Stress eating

Dr. Archana explains how these habits can sabotage our well-being and shares the key to sustainable weight loss—understanding the why behind each eating choice and rewiring our brains to work with us, not against us.

In this episode, I dive deep into the pervasive and often debilitating experience of imposter syndrome, drawing from my own journey as a woman in medicine. We'll explore what imposter syndrome—often referred to as imposter phenomenon—really is, and why it's so common among women in healthcare. I'll share my personal struggles with self-doubt and the constant feeling of being an "imposter" despite years of training and success. Together, we'll look at the root causes of these feelings, including societal pressures, perfectionism, and the high-stakes environment of medicine.

Most importantly, I'll offer practical strategies to combat this crippling self-doubt. From changing our internal narratives to embracing vulnerability and celebrating our achievements, we'll discuss actionable steps to not just survive but thrive in our roles. Whether you're a seasoned physician or just starting your medical career, this episode will provide insights and encouragement to help you reclaim your confidence and recognize your true worth. Join me as we take on imposter syndrome and step into our power as capable, compassionate women in medicine.

In this episode, I open up about how I’ve managed to reignite my passion and find inspiration even when my schedule feels overwhelming. I share a personal story about a time when I felt frustrated and uninspired at work but experienced a turning point through a meaningful interaction with a patient. This moment reminded me how vital it is to reconnect with what truly matters to me.

I talk about how redefining what success means on my own terms, staying mindful, setting clear boundaries, and surrounding myself with a supportive community have all played a role in keeping my inspiration alive. I encourage you to reflect on the moments in your career that have brought you true fulfillment and to start making small changes that can help you feel more inspired in your work.

Takeaways:

• Reconnecting with what truly matters to you can help reignite your passion for your career.
• Redefining success to include personal fulfillment and well-being can protect you from burnout.
• Mindfulness in your daily routine can reduce stress and help maintain your inspiration.
• Setting boundaries is key to protecting your time, energy, and focus.
• Building a supportive community can provide motivation, validation, and accountability to stay inspired in your work.
