Did you choose medicine—or did medicine choose you? And what’s the cost of that decision?

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Coach JPMD sits down with Sanjay Raja, a former medical school admit who made a bold, last-minute decision to walk away. What followed was a journey through entrepreneurship, wellness, and a life of purpose beyond cultural expectations. Together, they explore how physicians often enter the field for the wrong reasons—leading to a toxic cycle of stress, burnout, and unfulfillment. This conversation uncovers truths many doctors don’t admit, but desperately need to hear.

• Uncover the hidden emotional and cultural pressures that push people into medicine—and how to break free from them.
• Learn why the absence of work-life balance in medicine is not just a scheduling problem, but a deep systemic issue.
• Get inspired by practical ways to reconnect with your purpose and build a life outside the exam room that fuels you—not drains you.
