  • 69: when boss says you’re too much
    Sep 12 2024

    I recently was in a room with 50 physician moms. We were asked to write what we worry the most about. The predominant answer was, “I’m afraid I’m too much.” It shows up looking like hyper-vigilance about everything we say or do:

    Was my voice too high? too loud?

    Was that too aggressive? too quiet?

    Maybe I shouldn’t have apologized, or, I should have apologized sooner.

    I showed too much emotion. Or. I should have cared more.

    I came across cold. Or. I have got to stop acting like a fellow.

    I wasn’t prepared enough. Or. I wasted too much time preparing.

    I sounded unpolished. Or. I sounded to rehearsed.

    If any of this sounds familiar, you've done nothing wrong. The world has told us our whole lives to be this quiet, small, invisible versions of ourselves. Our bosses agree! You've done nothing wrong. AND, in this week’s podcast you get the key skill to reverse all of it NOW. When you have this skill, you’ll…

    …send an email without reading and rereading it 7x trying to get the tone just right.

    …sit wherever you want in faculty meeting without overthinking it.

    …say what you mean without berating yourself for 3 hours on how you could have said it better.

    Here's the skill:

    • know that you've never been too much. your boss might say you're too much. this is NOT a fact. their response also isn't your problem. that's their insecurities coming through. we don't have to like the boss or their reaction to us AND we can let them be wrong about us.
    • anyone who says you're too much is giving you a gift: they are saving you so much time! don't ever trust this person, they don't get you, & they're struggling on their own so much that they have to try to make everyone around them small & quiet. this sentence "you're too much" steers you toward the rooms you're SUPPOSED to be in....
    • ...your people will always think you're just right. you'll fit right in. you'll be you and that'll be perfect.
    • be too much with me. EVERY boss i've ever worked for has said i'm too much. I am! I AM too much for bad bosses. I AM too much for old men who want all women to be stay at home wives. i AM too much for people with small minds and no sense of adventure, fun, or whimsy. I just don't make me wrong for their opinions. i'm too busy having fun with my soul sisters to notice. be too much with me. it's so much fun!

    THIS IS HOW YOU SAVE YOURSELF HOURS OF TIME AND CUT BACK TO PART-TIME HOURS AT YOUR FULL-TIME DOCTOR JOB. PLUS YOU CAN...

    ☑️Stop working Sundays

    ☑️Get home early EVERYDAY

    ☑️Sleep better tonight

    ☑️Not dread Monday all weekend long

    Sep 5 2024

    When work feels like a grind, you’ve just stepped out of your Success Momentum. That’s all that’s happened.

  • 65: boss can't torpedo your day with this...
    Aug 15 2024

    This is what it looks like when boss torpedoes our day:

    • Boss emails that she needs you “to be a team player and volunteer” to cover more call shifts.
    • You argue in your head– the schedule is already unfair with the senior men with stay-at-home wives already covering less call as-is. BTW, you’re right about all of this!
    • Your productivity grinds to a halt. The next thing you know, you’re exhausted, the day’s over, and it’s time to race to pickup kids before daycare closes. Feeling defeated, you agree to the extra call. You get home and fight with husband. There’s little sleep that night. The next day, you're exhausted before the day starts and the work is even harder on a tired mind.

    In this week’s podcast you get a 5-second tool to interrupt ALL OF THIS. Even though your boss will still email you about "being a team player," you CAN have an entirely different experience. Here’s what it looks like for boss’s email NOT to torpedo your day:

    • Boss sends email.
    • You implement this weeks’ tool.
    • You don’t go down the rabbit hole; you don’t accept more call shifts this time; boss still sorts out the call schedule.
    • You stay focused and get your work done AHEAD of schedule.
    • You get to daycare early, get home feeling RELIEVED to be home to enjoy a quiet evening with the family.
    • You snuggle with family in the evening and get a great night's sleep.
    • The next day you're excited to go to work. You get your work done fast. You get home faster.

  • 64: 57 surprising ways to leave work early today without taking PTO
    Aug 8 2024

    This week's podcast gives you 57 surprising ways to get home today. It’s the opposite of what you think and that’s just why it works!

    The chronic habit of overworking keeps us staying late at work. It causes chronic suffering that usually sounds like this: I should be further ahead, my schedule is always the worst, I’ll never be valued by the boss.

    In this week’s podcast you’ll learn how to interrupt this overworking habit loop to get home sooner today. This works even if you have a tyrant of a boss, you're understaffed, or you’re fresh out of training.

    The key to interrupting the overworking habit loop is this: shift from self-focused to other-focused. There is good science that shows self-focus causes intense suffering and being other-focused causes immediate relief. Here are a few examples; pick just one and get ready to be home sooner tonight.

    Self-focused: I’m behind and I’ll never catch up.

    Other-focused: I’m going to take one extra moment to thank the janitor and help brighten up her day.

    Self-focused: My boss never supports me.

    Other-focused: I’m going to be the example of the boss I want to be by giving my resident a few minutes of supporting encouragement by starting off with what she did well yesterday.

    This approach takes LESS TIME (not more time). Being other focused CREATES more energy because your mind stops looping on the suffering. You’ll feel better. You’ll be energized. You’ll think faster and get home sooner without rehashing work all day and night.

    Here’s what you get in this week’s podcast:

    🫶🏼57 surprising ways to leave work early today without taking PTO

    🫶🏼Why the usual physician job isn’t enough to reap the rewards of being other-focused

    🫶🏼How being other-focused CREATES more time & energy
