- Hälsa och motion
Are you a PA struggling with burnout, career overwhelm, or just life in general? Do you love your career some days and other days wonder what the heck you were thinking when you chose to spend your days married to medicine? Or maybe you’re a mom like me and find it impossible to “do it all” so you end up feeling like a failure more days than not.
I created this podcast because I’ve been there, which is also why I became a life coach. I now help other PAs like you get off the struggle bus of burnout. The tips, tools, and talks in this podcast are exactly what I needed when I was burned out!

#195: John Albanese, DMSc & PA-C, worked in ER and trauma surgery, but burnout, a new baby, and deep soul-searching led him to Academics. He earned his doctorate and rediscovered joy as a PA professor
John is an inspiration, especially if you've thrived at the top of your game only to realize it wasn't "filling your cup." John realized he was letting work be the driver of his life, and it was leading to burnout and unhappiness. He made the courageous decision to talk to management and admit he was burned out, but they weren't willing to make changes. So he decided it was up to him to make the change. Hear how he made the shift to academics and the effect this had on the other areas of his life.
You can find John on Linked In or FB. He's also sharing his email if you want to contact him!
If you liked what you heard and want help with your own burnout journey, I'd love to talk. I'm writing a book on how to heal from burnout (due out 1/25), and I have a group coaching starting June 11th.

#192: Tracy Bingaman, PA money genius: How to do what’s best for you and your family so you can do best for your patients, and how to create a financial margin so you’ll have “F-U” freedom
Hi! Thank you for listening! I'd love to get to know you; send me an email at hope.cook@gmail.com or visit my website for more "words of Hope." My book is coming out later this year, and if you'd like to be on my list of first readers or beta readers, please let me know!
Are you interested in having me speak at your event? Do you want to hear more about group coaching?
Key points:
Think about career choices in terms of sustainability, what needs to happen to allow you to work in medicine for years to come?
You don’t have to sacrifice your needs and your health for your patients and your job
Ask yourself what YOU need first and foremost. Only then can you serve others. You can’t provide compassionate care if you’re burned out.
Create a margin between what you spend and what you make so you’ll have the freedom to walk away if you need to.
First ask yourself which values matter the most to you. Then look at how you show up on an average day, does this support your values and how you want your life to be?
Pay attention to your health. Your body will let you know when your values and priorities are misaligned.
Don’t become so entangled in your identity as a PA that you lose sight of your own self-worth.
Let go of guilt over making job changes. We’re all adults, we’re free to make choices and live lives without regret.
This job is not your “one shot.” We add exceptional value to the healthcare system both as providers to our patients and colleagues with the doctors we work with.
