    Healing the Burnout We Keep Explaining Away

    Burnout is everywhere, but so many people keep pushing through it, convincing themselves they are just tired, need to work harder, or should be able to handle it on their own. In healthcare especially, that story can become dangerous. In this episode, Dr. Pamela Buchanan opens up about her own experience with burnout as an ER physician and the quiet toll that high-pressure environments can take on mental health. She shares what burnout actually looked and felt like in her life, why so many healthcare workers leave it untreated, and how the culture around medicine often makes it harder to ask for help. We also talk about the bigger systemic issues in healthcare mental health support, how to recognize the warning signs before burnout gets worse, and the practical daily habits that can help people manage stress and protect their well-being. Join us for an honest, relatable conversation about self-care, physician wellness, and why changing the narrative around burnout is long overdue.
