What happens when the healer hits a wall? When the one who's always strong – the high-achiever, the fixer, the go-to problem solver -- starts to go numb inside?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dr. Pamela Buchanan, a purpose-driven physician and burnout recovery coach whose story is as raw as it is resilient.
She opens up about what it meant to navigate medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic… and how she found her way back from emotional flatline.
Dr. Buchanan gets real about the hidden cost of white coats, the stigma surrounding mental health in our field, and why she’s fiercely committed to helping other physicians stay in practice without sacrificing themselves.
She loves to teach people to stand in their power.
You’ll leave this conversation feeling seen, stirred, and without a doubt, more hopeful.
Let’s dive in.
