    Episode 6: Is Self-Development Actually Making Your Life Better?

    Most doctors have read the books. They’ve listened to the podcasts. They’ve watched the TED Talks. They know about gratitude, habits, mindset, goal setting, meditation, and personal growth. So why do so many still feel stuck? In this episode of Medics in Control, Dr Jamie Gross and certified money coach Fanny Snaith explore the self-development industry and ask a simple but important question: Is personal development helping you grow, or has it become another form of procrastination? We discuss why so many people consume endless information but struggle to create meaningful change, how social media can distort our expectations of progress, and why awareness without action can sometimes leave people feeling worse rather than better. The conversation also explores gratitude, comparison, burnout, presence, personal responsibility, and the difference between genuinely improving your life and simply collecting more advice. Most importantly, we discuss practical first steps for doctors who recognise that something feels off but aren't sure where to begin. The difference between learning and implementation How information overload can keep you stuck Gratitude, fulfilment, and the trap of "I should be grateful" Why awareness without action can feel worse The relationship between burnout and constant doing The dangers of comparison in the age of social media How small actions create meaningful change And lots more If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right" things but still feel unsettled, this episode is for you.

    Episode 5: Are Doctors Being Replaced? Physician's Associates, AI, and the Future of Medicine

    Are doctors being gradually replaced? In this episode of the Medics in Control podcast, Dr Jamie Gross and certified money coach Fanny Snaith explore one of the most controversial topics in UK medicine today: the rise of physician associates and what it may mean for the future of the medical profession. But this conversation goes far beyond physician associates. We discuss the wider forces reshaping medicine - increasing government control, loss of professional autonomy, financial pressure, and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. Whether you agree with the changes or not, it seems clear that the traditional assumptions many doctors have relied on are being challenged. The question is no longer simply, “What is happening to medicine?” It is: Who do you need to become so that you are not powerless inside it? In this episode, we discuss: The role of physician associates and the concerns around patient safety How doctors have gradually lost autonomy within the NHS Why AI may accelerate change in healthcare The importance of building options beyond your medical salary Portfolio careers, investing, and multiple income streams How doctors can adapt rather than freeze This is not a doom-and-gloom conversation. It is an invitation to step back, recognise the changing landscape, and take greater control of your time, money, and direction. 🤝 Be part of the conversation by joining Medics in Control Network: https://www.medicsincontrol.com/medicsincontrol-network

    Episode 4: Why so many doctors feel financially trapped

    Doctors are often told that if they want more financial breathing room, they simply need to earn more. But what happens when you’re already working flat out… and still feel financially stuck? In this episode of Medics in Control, NHS consultant Jamie Gross and certified money coach Fanny Snaith explore one of the biggest hidden stressors in medicine: the feeling that no matter how hard you work, there never seems to be enough left at the end of the month. Together, they unpack: Why high income does not automatically create financial security How lifestyle creep quietly traps even high earners Practical ways to create more financial breathing room without simply working more This is not a conversation about deprivation, spreadsheets or becoming obsessed with money. It’s about creating clarity, reducing stress, and building a financial life that actually supports the way you want to live and work. If you’ve ever felt financially stretched despite earning well, this episode will likely resonate. Join the Medics in Control Network: medicsincontrol.com/medicsincontrol-network

    Episode 3: Why do doctors feel drained?

    Why are so many doctors feeling drained, disconnected, and quietly depleted? In this episode of Medics in Control, Jamie Gross and Fanny Snaith explore what sits beneath the surface of burnout in medicine. This is not just about workload, but the slow erosion of autonomy, the weight of bureaucracy, the frustration of not being listened to, and the loss of community within the profession. Jamie reflects on his own experience of becoming a consultant, the shift away from meaningful clinical work, and the psychological discomfort that comes when doctors can see what needs to change, but feel powerless to change it. This is not a pity party. It is an honest conversation about why “keep calm and carry on” is not enough and why feeling depleted may be a signal worth paying attention to. If this resonates, join the Medics in Control Network. This a space for doctors who want to be part of a different conversation about time, money, direction, and building a more aligned life in medicine.

    Episode 2: Why do doctors ignore money?

    Why does money feel like something doctors shouldn’t talk about? In this episode, Jamie Gross and Fanny Snaith unpack the quiet but powerful beliefs that shape how medics think about money often without realising it. From being told “don’t go into medicine for the money” to a culture of over-giving and undercharging, we explore how many doctors end up putting money “in the corner”… and the consequences that follow. We dive into: Why medicine attracts “giver” personalities who detach from moneyThe hidden cost of ignoring your financesHow extra work becomes the default solution and why it doesn’t fix the problemThe moment when it all catches upIf you’ve ever felt financially stretched despite doing everything “right,” this conversation will hit home. A starting point, not a solution but one that might change how you think about money forever.

    Episode 1: Is it really all about pay?

    At the time of recording, resident doctors are on day two of a six-day strike. From the outside, it looks simple: Doctors want more money. But is that really what’s going on? In this episode of Medics in Control, we take a step back and explore what’s actually driving the growing frustration within the medical profession and why the public narrative may be missing the bigger picture. We discuss: Why public perception has shifted from support to scepticismThe idea of “fair exchange” — and why many doctors feel it no longer existsThe gradual erosion of working conditions over the past two decadesThe hidden pressures: admin, bureaucracy, loss of autonomy, and uncertainty around jobsWhy money has become the headline, even if it’s not the root causeThis isn’t about taking sides or debating politics. It’s about understanding what it feels like to work inside a system that many believe is no longer working and what that means for doctors, patients, and the future of the NHS. And ultimately, we bring it back to the question that matters most: If the system isn’t changing any time soon… what can doctors do to regain a sense of control?
