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
Reclaiming Your Autonomy with Special Guest, Dr. Dike Drummond

If you've ever experienced burnout before, you can probably relate to an analogy that you'll hear in this episode, comparing burnout to being stuck in a chokehold with no clear escape. However, as you'll also hear, there is a way out, and the other side is often better than even the best times pre-burnout!
This episode features a fascinating interview with special guest, Dr. Dike Drummond, a family medicine physician trained at Mayo, who became a professional coach specializing in physician burnout after experiencing it first-hand. Dr. Drummond shares his journey from practicing full-service family medicine to battling burnout, taking a sabbatical, and eventually leaving his clinical practice.
What came next is something truly incredible, including the founding of TheHappyMD, writing several books on burnout, and establishing a coaching practice that has helped thousands of physicians and executives lead better lives at work. You'll hear us stress the importance of self-reflection, creating a work-life balance, and the potential for physicians to redefine their careers while staying true to their commitment to healthcare.
