Finding Happiness in Healthcare
Working in healthcare is hard. The documentation, back-to-back patient visits where you feel like a robot treating people on an assembly line, dealing with prior authorizations and insurance denials, the list goes on.
Many of us are burning out and feeling disillusioned about our careers.
As a nurse practitioner, you might truly believe in what you do. Perhaps you invested several years of your life and commonly a 6-figure student loan to do this. Or perhaps you genuinely can't imagine doing anything else with your life because you have a huge, noble heart and love helping people.
Each day is a chance to find happiness in healthcare.
This is the podcast for nurse practitioners and other medical providers who truly believe in what they do and want to create more meaning in their work.

How I’d Learn Time Management as a NP If I Had To Start Over
Have you ever walked into work with your coffee in hand, hoping today will be a good day, hoping that you’ll get through your day smoothly and happily. But your first patient is already waiting with a list of questions a mile long. Your medical assistant is behind. The computer’s slow and there’s been an EHR update so the layout looks different.
Pretty soon you find yourself three hours behind, drowning in charts. By 6, you feel like a ghost of yourself—and then you drive home and melt into the couch and let your brain just shut off.
You tell yourself, “I just need a break. I just need a vacation.”
But deep down, you’re wondering: “Can I even do this long term? Is this what my life is going to look like forever?”
You tell yourself, “If I just had more time... if I just had more energy...” but the truth is, you don’t need more energy—you need a better way to use what you already have.
Now imagine instead, you leave work not feeling drained, but fulfilled? Imagine actually looking forward to seeing your patients again. That’s not some fairytale. And in this episode, I’m going to show you exactly how to make it happen.
