What if the way you’re living now isn’t the way you have to live? Dr. Sarah Wittry hit a breaking point in her medical career, juggling motherhood, burnout, and the crushing weight of doing it all. In this episode, she shares the mindset shifts that helped her reclaim her energy, let go of guilt, and start living with more intention. Plus, the powerful lessons she’s learned from patients at the end of life—lessons that might just change how you show up today. Don’t miss this one!Burnout often begins with self-sacrifice in medicine, but true healing starts with reclaiming your own well-being.In medical training, the thoughts of “uh-oh” are often the first whispers of misalignment—listen to them.When life feels like it’s falling apart, focus on just one thing you can do today to get through this moment.Burnout can shatter the old ways of coping, and force you to rethink how you show up in your life and career.Mind-body wellness isn’t about rigid routines—it’s about crafting a daily experience that feels aligned and fulfilling.Outsourcing isn’t a luxury; it’s a strategic decision to protect your energy and focus on what truly matters.Guilt fades when you realize that prioritizing yourself actually benefits everyone around you.The biggest regrets at the end of life are not about failures but about the experiences not pursued.The simplest, most ordinary moments are the ones that hold the most meaning in the end.Living unapologetically means aligning your daily life with what lights you up, not what pleases others.CONNECT WITH SARAH:InstagramLinkedInFacebookWebsiteVibrant Humans PodcastCOACHING WITH HOPEMy next Masterclass Series for Clinicians starts 3/18.
