The podcast for GPs, hospital doctors and other professionals in high-stakes, high-stress jobs who want to thrive rather than just survive.
You studied for years, you’re really good at what you do but you’ve noticed that you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, overworked and under-resourced. You may be comparing yourself to a frog in boiling water - the heat has built up so slowly that you haven’t noticed the extra-long days becoming the norm. You may feel on the edge and trapped in the very job that you’ve spent years working towards.
Here’s the problem, frogs only have two choices; stay and be boiled alive, or jump out of the pan. The good news is that you are not a frog. You have many more choices than you think you do. You don’t have to quit, and nor should stress and burnout be inevitable.
It is possible to be master of your own destiny, to craft your work life and career so that you can thrive even in the most difficult of situations. There are simple changes you can make which will make a huge difference to your stress levels and help you enjoy life again.
Your host is Dr Rachel Morris, GP turned Executive Coach and Specialist in Resilience at Work who knows what it’s like to feel like an exhausted frog. In the podcast, she’ll be talking to friends, colleagues and experts all who have an interesting take on resilience for clever people in high-stakes, high-stress jobs so that together you can take back control to beat stress and burnout, survive and thrive.

Customer Reviews
A must listen for all doctors!
I started listening to this podcast during an extremely difficult period in my life and career. Listening to this podcast has been a lifesaver for me. It has helped me realise how I can thrive at work and get back to having the passion and love for my job whilst also prioritising self care and balance. Being a doctor brings with it some really unique challenges that can be difficult for our non-medical friends and family to fully empathise with. This podcast has felt so validating and made me feel less alone. I have never heard my own thoughts and concerns reflected back to me in such a compassionate and empathetic way. Thank you.
Excellent!
I’ve known of this podcast through friends but only recently have got stuck in with listening to several episodes and I have to say, I love it! Such great, relevant content and it’s delivered in an east to listen to format. Really interesting guests. Keep up the good work!
Essential listening
So much indispensable and pragmatic advice for doctors and anyone else. Should be essential listening for anyone working in the NHS or any other stretched system
