Burnout-Proof Your Practice: Wisdom for Health Practitioners | SNH Podcast #126
About this episode
In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Jodi Duval leads a powerful conversation with Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Scott Sherr, and Dr. Allen Bookatz about burnout in clinical practice—and how to actually prevent it. From saying no to draining patients to finding joy in curiosity and community, the team shares practical tools for sustaining a long, fulfilling career in medicine.
Join us as we delve into:
- Why it's okay (and sometimes necessary) to fire patients
- Daily rituals and mindset shifts that protect your energy
- How practitioner community can prevent isolation and overwhelm
- Curiosity, compassion, and fun as the ultimate burnout antidotes
This episode is for you if:
- You're a health practitioner feeling stretched thin
- You struggle with boundaries or people-pleasing in your practice
- You want to build a career that supports your life—not consumes it
- You're curious how other experts stay grounded and energized
