Description

If you’ve ever worried, “I’m just not good at boundaries — won’t I burn out again if I start a practice?” … you’re not alone. Many physicians feel this way after years of pushing past exhaustion in employed settings.


But here’s the truth: burnout often doesn’t come from caring too much or being “bad” at boundaries. It often comes from working in systems where you had no control.


In this Thursday Shift, I’ll share how private practice changes the game — because now, you set the systems, the hours, and the expectations. You’ll hear three practical ways to create boundaries that actually stick, without guilt, and without burning out.
