As physicians, asking for help can be seen as weakness. And yet we are burned out, emotionally exhausted, and overwhelmed navigating a broken medical system. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Welcome to the Thrive State, a term coined by my guest this week, CEO and practicing academic anesthesiologist in Winston-Salem at Wake Forest, Dr. Jimmy Turner. He’s on a mission to de-stigmatize mental health for physicians with a mindset shift towards confidence, autonomy and self-determination.
Tune in to this week’s podcast episode to learn what it means to be a doctor who truly thrives. We’ll talk about the three components of the Self-determination Theory and how to pinpoint areas of your life that need more work. It’s a no holds barred talk about mental health, financial freedom and finding work-life balance. Don’t miss it!
“You shouldn't have to choose between being a great spouse, a great parent, and a great physician. You should be able to do all three.”
- Dr. Jimmy Turner
