Join us today as we listen to Dr. Nahille Natour, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) whose passion is to inspire her clients to achieve balance in their lives.  She serves professionals who are looking to transform their lives, careers, businesses, and relationships.  As a board-certified OB/GYN, she has experience in many practice settings and has personally and successfully worked through physician burnout.  She shares her story of burnout and how coaching helped her to define her career goals and pivot in her career to a job as a hospitalist OB/GYN that ultimately allowed her boundaries between her professional and personal life that have been welcome.  During that journey she also explored and has become a very active and successful coach for other physicians.  She reminds us of several pearls on today’s episode: - Three keys to balance include defining your priorities and values, nurturing your relationships to help fill your cup, and allowing for time for personal growth, reflection and rest. - It’s okay to make your career what you want, keep an open mind and make change where possible if it isn’t meeting your goals. - Know that there is a way to get “unstuck” if you are feeling unfulfilled.

Dr. Frances Mei Hardin, MD is an otolaryngologist and avid physician wellness advocate. She created the brand Rethinking Residency to provide concrete, effective resources for resident physicians, fellows and medical students. The skills she writes about are evidence-based DBT-informed skills, customized specifically for the unique population of young physicians and physicians in training. During this brief conversation we try to tackle what is wrong with medical training to lead to such a challenging environment. Dr. Hardin states that the residency training phenomenon has to break the cyclical bullying model for us to improve and do better, consider the fact that maybe the socratic method is being used wrong. It's not about grilling and pimping you it's a method where questions are asked bi-directionally to improve knowledge! If we can pause for a moment, acknowledge our anger and embrace it, we can deeply understand its true roots. If we can take care of our own anger instead of focusing on the other person, we can get immediate relief. And how right that is! In our short conversation we discuss interpersonal effectiveness and ways to address distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Dr. Hardin is a fan of stoicism and some of her favorite quotes are: " We cannot ensure success, but we can deserve it". (stoic teaching, from a famous play about Cato) "All cruelty springs from weakness". (stoic teaching - Seneca) "And you're right: this internship has been like the stuff of dreams, like the overpowering nightmares of childhood: aggression, fear of retaliation, and then the resolution, where you don't win, you live."(The House of God) "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." (Victor Frankl) Pearls of Wisdom: “Don't lament so much about how your career is going to turn out. You don’t have a career, you have a life” Cheryl Trade Keep a spirit list and fill it with items that keep you most connected with yourself.
