Are You Still Lit Up by the Core of Your Work?
Manage episode 482231400 series 2391787
What is it about your work that still lights you up inside? At the center of every profession is a core - the reason we chose it in the first place, the part that feels meaningful no matter the chaos around it. When we reconnect with that core, even amid challenge, fulfillment often follows. Sometimes, though, that spark fades. Sometimes the core of what we love evolves, shifts direction, or gets buried under layers of stress and routine. In this episode, we explore how to evaluate your relationship with the essence of your work and how small (or big) recalibrations can realign your day-to-day with what matters most. Finally, we share strategies to clear out the noise, fuel the flame, and shape a career that energizes rather than drains.
đ§ UnBurnable | Our Cohort-Based Burnout Prevention and Cure Course
As physician coaches, my partner, Scott Weingart, and I have noticed a clear pattern: some doctors are thoroughly burned out, and many others are on the path toward it. Almost all were shortchanged in their medical training, having been molded into excellent clinicians but given virtually no tools for retaining joy and equanimity throughout their careers.
This course will teach you the hidden anti-burnout curriculum.

We Discuss:
- Starting with the central question: How do you feel about the core of your work?
- Using the stories you tell about your job as diagnostic tools. What tone are you bringing to those tales?
- What is a micro recalibration, and how can it reshape your workday from within your current job?
- How do you recognize when overwhelm is a sign of a broken approach, not a broken you?
- Exploring macro recalibrations. What if you love the work, but the environment is eating you alive?
- Running the âlook-around testâ to evaluate other institutions.
- Identifying âgravity problems.â Which issues can't be solved within your current system?
- Considering a mega recalibration. What does it mean to step away from the work entirely?
- How identity and sunk costs keep us rooted in roles we may have outgrown.
- Visualizing the flame and smoke of your career. Whatâs burning bright, and whatâs clouding the view?
- Defining what a fulfilling day looks like. Is that kind of day even possible where you are now?
- Use a five-year future vision to clarify whether your current job fits into your ideal life.
- Why walking away doesnât have to mean burning it down. What might rediscovery look like instead?
- You donât have to burn it all down to rediscover what lights you up.
