In today's episode, Dr. Chrissie Ott and I sit down to discuss my journey.

In this episode, you’ll learn

  • How panic, insomnia, and “I must be broken” thoughts can be early sirens of burnout—and what healing looked like for me.
  • The Drama Triangle (victim–hero–villain) vs. David Emerald’s Empowerment Dynamic (creator–coach–challenger), with real clinical scenarios
  • Why the “healthcare hero” narrative can unintentionally disempower patients
  • Fiduciary ethics in the exam room: naming incentives, protecting integrity, and keeping decisions in the patient’s hands
  • Why creation must be “for you first”
  • What agency looks like in career evolution: closing one chapter so another can fully begin
  • How to transmute suffering into service without bypassing the hard parts
  • The vision of the Hippocratic Collective: every physician’s voice belongs
