Dr. Errin Weisman, a board certified Family Medicine and Addiction Medicine doctor, was no longer aligned with her work and burning out again. She did what many of us do - put her head down and kept working - until she no longer could. We hear from her as she resigns from her job with no other employment in place.

We often hear stories in the aftermath of achievement while glossing over the painful, uncertain journey. Dr. Weisman shares the fear of navigating the messy middle as a single mom. As always, she is raw, unfiltered, and hilarious.

You can find Dr. Weisman on her website, Instagram, and LinkedIn. She is the podcast host of Doctor Me First and Burntout to Badass.

After 20 years in traditional practice, Dr. Becky Lynn, a board certified OBGYN, started a comprehensive women's health clinic in February 2020. From the beginning, she used her skills to pivot, grow, learn, and listen to her patients. Evora Health evolved from a solo GYN practice to a comprehensive center for women's health with primary care, psychiatry, dietetics, therapy, acupuncture, aesthetics, reiki, physical training, and more.

Dr. Lynn describes how she grows her business acumen, especially surrounding herself with support from other high achieving entrepreneurs. For any physician who is questioning if they can pivot their career, "If you went through med school, you can figure it out"
