80. The Empowered Exit - Part 1: How to Leave Your Job Without Losing Yourself

Hey Doc,

Let’s talk about how to actually leave your job.

If you’re burnt out, disrespected, or just ready for more alignment, you’ve probably heard the fear-driven advice: “Don’t burn bridges.” But let’s be honest, that advice often keeps us stuck in situations that chip away at our confidence and well-being.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, I break down the real reasons why so many physician moms hesitate to leave toxic work environments, and what we’re actually afraid of. I share my own story of walking away and why that decision, though scary, was deeply freeing.

I walk you through the mindset shifts and logistical prep you need before giving notice. We’re talking contracts, conversations, credentialing, money, and most importantly, the self-trust to know you’ll be okay because:

You don’t need another job lined up to walk away from a toxic one. You need a plan. You need self-trust. And you need the courage to honor yourself — even if it shakes your whole identity.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever thought: I want to burn the whole place down... but I’m scared to light the match.
