The podcast for GPs, hospital doctors and other professionals in high-stakes, high-stress jobs who want to thrive rather than just survive. You studied for years, you’re really good at what you do but you’ve noticed that you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, overworked and under-resourced. You may be comparing yourself to a frog in boiling water - the heat has built up so slowly that you haven’t noticed the extra-long days becoming the norm. You may feel on the edge and trapped in the very job that you’ve spent years working towards. Here’s the problem, frogs only have two choices; stay and be boiled alive, or jump out of the pan. The good news is that you are not a frog. You have many more choices than you think you do. You don’t have to quit, and nor should stress and burnout be inevitable. It is possible to be master of your own destiny, to craft your work life and career so that you can thrive even in the most difficult of situations. There are simple changes you can make which will make a huge difference to your stress levels and help you enjoy life again...

In this episode, Rachel is joined by Dr Katherine Hickman, GP working in Bradford, Respiratory Lead and Tiny Habits® Coach. Katherine has been through her own episode of stress and burnout and we talk about how she got through and changed her life by using the ‘tiny habits’ technique.
We explore about how these tiny habits can produce huge changes and talk through how you can start to use this technique to help make changes in everyday life, and even at work.
