Have you ever felt like you're burning out from a job you actually love? Dr Monika Sharma (@lifewithdoctormon) is an NHS GP, certified personal trainer and content creator who has spent years trying to balance life in and out of clinic. After nearly 15 years in medicine, Monika found herself running on empty — editing videos on her lunch break, answering emails on the commute home and slowly losing her joy for the job she'd worked so hard to get. In this episode we talk about what it really feels like to be a number in the system, the guilt of finally choosing yourself, why so many of us tie our worth to how much we suffer at work — and what actually changes when you stop. If you've ever felt like a fraud for enjoying your work day, or wondered whether you're allowed to want more than your job title gives you — this one is for you. 🎙 What we cover: • The reality of being an NHS GP vs the glamour people assume • Why Monika wanted to quit medicine multiple times • Reducing her hours and the guilt that came with it • Tying your identity and self-worth to your job title • Why we equate hard work with suffering • The pressure of doing both medicine and content creation • Choosing yourself without feeling selfish • Immigrant parent work ethic and redefining what productivity looks like • How to have the difficult conversations that change your life • Interracial marriage and challenging cultural expectations • Why the people closest to you matter more than strangers online 🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on mental health, personal growth, and healing! / @shivanipaupodcast ✨ Connect with Millennial Mind ✨ Podcast Instagram: / amillennialmind Shivani Pau Instagram: / shivani.pau Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/shiva...
