Sample episode — "Overcoming Burnout with Trauma Surgeon Dr. Brittney Culp": In this episode, Brittney Culp, MD, a trauma surgeon shares her story of the burnout she experienced shortly after having her first child. She started to recognize signs of depression in herself, but felt that the level of perfectionism demanded of her role (and medicine in general) thwarted her from admitting this at first. When it started to be debilitating, she joined online forums on Facebook dedicated for women in medicine. This inspired her to form an organization, Doctor Enough, which is aimed at building connections for other women in medicine.
Tidbit about the show: The host first started an online group called Style MD in 2015 geared toward women's fashion and lifestyle. The group gained more than 8,000 female physician members before she decided to switch gears to create Brave Enough.
