Have you ever convinced yourself you could “just push through” — because that’s what you’ve always done?
I see this so often in women physicians: we spend years training ourselves to believe we can do anything — survive any rotation… power through any season… carry every load — and then we’re shocked when that strategy stops working at some point in real life.
We think we “should” be able to raise a family, lead at work, stay healthy, stay connected, stay on top of everything — all at the same time — because once upon a time we could do anything for four weeks at a time.
But here’s the truth most of us were never taught:
There comes a point where pushing becomes breaking.
Where all the “I can do it all” energy doesn’t move us forward — it quietly drains us.
And if you’re listening today and thinking, “Oh… that’s me,” I want you to know two things:
One, you’re not alone.
And two, you don’t need a life overhaul to feel better — you just need a pause and a plan.
Dr. Stephanie Yamout helps women physician leaders get their time back, own their value, and command the room as they were born to do. For coaching support, apply for Stephanie's Signature Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you to a call.
