Negotiation isn’t just about salary. It’s about building a life and career that actually work for you. In this special masterclass episode, I’m sharing stories, mindset shifts, and real examples that show how negotiation creates more than just better contracts. It creates more peace, more time, and more possibility.

From the fear of asking to the belief that you need to “earn” the right to want more, I talk through why we hesitate to negotiate and what changes when we finally do.

We’ll cover:

• Why negotiation is the simplest and most powerful way to change your work and your life.

• The internal conversations that stop us from asking for what we want, and how to reframe them.

• Real stories from physicians who used negotiation to create roles, raise their salaries, and reclaim their time.

• The strategies you’ll learn in The Any Day Negotiator Group Program to help you confidently ask for what you need.

  
  

You aren’t being difficult or asking for too much. It’s time to get clear on what you want and be bold enough to ask for it.

If you've ever looked back at your first job and thought, “Wait… I could’ve asked for that?”—this one's for you.

In this episode of the “Year One Debrief” series, I’m sharing what I didn't know when I signed my first contract (and what I wish someone had told me). I had no idea how much was actually negotiable—or how much I was allowed to want.

We’ll get into:

• Why “better than residency” is way too low a bar.

• The sneaky trap of trying to earn ease.

• What happens when you renegotiate mid-contract (yes, it’s possible).

• And how to start asking for what you need now—not at your next job.

Whether you’re job-hunting or already signed, this is your reminder that your contract isn't set in stone—and you don’t need permission to ask for better.

The job might have looked perfect on paper. Maybe it had the title, pay, or location you were hoping for. But now that you’re in it, does the reality match what you agreed to? Whether you’re one year in or five, now is the time to ask the hard questions

In this continuation of June’s “Year One Debrief” series, I’m talking about how to evaluate your contract once you’ve lived it for a while, and what to do when the expectations, support, or workload aren’t adding up.

We’ll talk about:

• How to recognize when your job no longer reflects the offer you accepted.

• Why it’s never too late (or early) to negotiate your contract (even if you’ve already signed).

• The hidden costs that can affect your career and well-being over time.

• Why your time and energy deserve just as much consideration as your paycheck.

You’re allowed to ask for more—more support, more transparency, and more alignment with where you are now. A job that looked good at the start should still work for you in practice.

You’ve finished training, landed the job, and upgraded the call room, but somehow the hustle still hasn’t stopped. If your attending life feels like a never-ending rotation, it might be time to ask some bigger questions. Why are you still skipping meals? Why are you still proving yourself? Why are you doing the most even whether or not you’re being asked?

In this kickoff to June’s “Year One Debrief” series, I’m talking about how hustle habits follow us into our careers, how to stop the impulse to constantly perform, and why your value as a doctor isn’t tied to how much you can endure.

We’ll talk about:

• How training conditions you to override your basic needs and why that doesn’t serve you now.

• The role of imposter syndrome in early career overwork.

• What it really takes to set a new tone for your career.

• The mindset shift that helps you stop performing and start practicing with intention.

You don’t need a whole new personality to change how you work. But you do need to start asking different questions. This episode will help you notice what habits you’ve carried from training and how to leave them behind.

You used to love this work. You believed in it. You stayed up all night, sacrificed time with friends and family, and pushed through burnout because you cared so much. But what happens when the purpose that once inspired you now feels like a burden?

In this final May episode of “The Doctor You Said You’d Be” series, I’m talking about how the early messages we receive about purpose, service, and sacrifice can trap us in roles that no longer reflect how we want to live. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting less hustle, more time, or just something different, this one’s for you.

We’ll discuss:

• When purpose can be used to justify overworking, and why that narrative needs to change.

• How your values can stay the same, but your methods need to evolve.

• The belief that working less means you care less, and how to challenge it.

• What happens when you stop treating exhaustion like a badge of honor.

You’re allowed to evolve. You’re allowed to want different. You’re allowed to build a career that honors where you started and supports where you're going.

Do you ever feel like quitting is the only way out? Like the only path to peace is leaving the job you worked so hard to build?

When you’re burned out or frustrated, it can feel like walking away from everything is the only option. But there are definitely other ways. In this episode, I talk about how to make meaningful changes right where you are, without having to start from scratch.

I’m sharing real examples of how doctors have reworked their roles, advocated for what they needed, and made their current jobs actually work for them.

We’ll cover:

• Why setting boundaries and reassessing your goals is essential, even after you land the “dream” job.

• How to evaluate your environment and decide what needs to change.

• What it looks like to pivot in your current role instead of burning it all down.

• Why you don’t need to know every step to get started—you just have to be willing to try something different.

You don’t have to stay miserable, and you don’t have to start over either. Redesigning your career starts with being honest about what’s working, what’s not, and what you’re ready to ask for next.

Do you ever feel guilty for taking a vacation? I just got back from a trip, and even though I felt refreshed, I still found myself rushing to catch up. That guilt? It runs deep. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to rest, the pressure to always be available, and why your career shouldn’t feel like something you have to escape from.

I’m also challenging the belief that you have to choose between mission and money. That if you’re passionate about the work, you shouldn’t expect to be paid well. If you’ve ever been told you’re “doing it for the right reasons,” but the pay doesn’t reflect your value, this one’s for you.

We’ll talk about:

• The toxic belief that being mission-driven means sacrificing financial security.

• Why vacation can’t be the only place you feel rested, and how to change that.

• How organizations try to underpay doctors in the name of “passion.”

• The hidden costs of burnout when you’re undercompensated, overworked, and under-supported.

  
  

You can do meaningful work and still demand meaningful compensation. You don’t have to stay in a career that drains you just to serve others.

You had a vision of what becoming a doctor would look like—meaningful work, a deep sense of purpose, maybe even the kind of career you saw portrayed on TV. But over time, that dream got buried under charting, billing issues, and wellness programs that don’t actually help you feel better.

In this episode, I talk about the gap between what you imagined and what your day-to-day has become, and what it actually takes to reclaim the version of medicine and life you envisioned. Because just surviving the week isn’t the goal. You can shift things without blowing up your entire life.

We’ll discuss:

• Why so many doctors feel disconnected from the version of themselves they dreamed of becoming.

• How exhaustion, sunk costs, and systemic pressure keep us from imagining something better.

• A client example that shows how small shifts at work can create major changes in how you feel.

• A simple reflection to help you reconnect with the doctor you thought you’d be and decide what needs to change.

  
  

Your dream is still valid. It may have evolved, but it’s not gone. This episode will help you figure out what it looks like now and what needs to shift to support it.
