Are you tired of living your life on someone else’s terms? It’s time to take control and start living life on your own terms! Do not settle for a life that doesn’t fulfill you emotionally, spiritually or financially. 

The beauty of living life on your own terms is that you get to define what success and happiness mean to you. You can prioritize your passions and create a schedule that works for you. You do not have to follow societal norms or conform to anyone else’s expectations.  In this episode, I talk with Dr. Chelsea Turgeon, MD, former OB/Gyne resident, bestselling author, podcast host of Life After Medicine, and Burnout coach.  

She shares her reason for leaving medicine and pursuing a life she designed for herself. As she said, “The world is a better place when we’re doing work that we enjoy. You’re allowed to enjoy work. Like just all of these pieces, all of these messages and these things I’m living out now that are so counter to what people in medicine are used to. That’s what gets me up in the morning, is just being able to shout all of that from the rooftops.”
