Have you ever found yourself caught in the crossfire between the pursuit of wealth and the necessity of health? As your guide on this journey, I, Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, invite you to join me in a heartfelt exploration of this tug-of-war that so many of us face. This episode isn't just a theoretical debate; it's an intimate conversation about realigning our priorities, sparked by a personal experience that brought home the ephemeral nature of life. We'll traverse the complexities of why our society often values financial success over physical well-being and discuss how to dismantle the barriers, whether self-imposed or external, that keep us from choosing health first.

Drawing from the Wisdom of Dr. Weisman and Dr. Teri Baydar [next week's episode] we delve into the transformative power of incremental improvement and the art of self-compassion. Together, we'll recognize that the truest riches we can amass are the bonds we forge and the memories we create. So, let's embrace the unpredictable roller coaster of life, cherishing each twist and turn with those who matter most. I promise you'll walk away with a renewed perspective on what constitutes wealth in its purest form. Share this conversation with someone who needs a reminder of the value of health, because when it comes down to it, we truly are all in this together.

What You'll Learn:
1. Why do we prioritize wealth vs health?
2. Outlining what truly matters and why.
3. Optimizing how to thrive in the storm of life.

Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice. This is only a tool that physicians can use to get ideas on how to deal with burnout and/or know they are not alone. If you are in need of medical assistance talk to your physician.
