Did you choose medicine—or did medicine choose you? And what’s the cost of that decision?
In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Coach JPMD sits down with Sanjay Raja, a former medical school admit who made a bold, last-minute decision to walk away. What followed was a journey through entrepreneurship, wellness, and a life of purpose beyond cultural expectations. Together, they explore how physicians often enter the field for the wrong reasons—leading to a toxic cycle of stress, burnout, and unfulfillment. This conversation uncovers truths many doctors don’t admit, but desperately need to hear.
- Uncover the hidden emotional and cultural pressures that push people into medicine—and how to break free from them.
- Learn why the absence of work-life balance in medicine is not just a scheduling problem, but a deep systemic issue.
- Get inspired by practical ways to reconnect with your purpose and build a life outside the exam room that fuels you—not drains you.
Tap play now to hear how stepping outside the medical mold can help you rediscover your purpose and avoid the burnout trap.
