It's not burnout—it's heartbreak. 💔
That's how Dr. Amna Shabbir describes the profound disillusionment many physicians feel after dedicating their lives to a system that often leaves them exhausted and questioning their future in medicine.
In this powerful episode of Life-Changing Moments, Dr. Shabbir gets radically honest about:
➡️ The "normalized gaslighting" and unsustainable demands of primary care.
➡️ Why asking for help is an act of courage, not a sign of weakness.
➡️ The critical difference between running away from a bad situation and moving toward a fulfilling one.
➡️ How she navigated the "sunk cost fallacy" and reclaimed her agency to pivot into a thriving career in geriatrics and physician coaching.
This isn't about quick fixes. It's a raw conversation about the transformative work of facing reality, seeking support, and rediscovering the joy in medicine.
If you've ever felt stuck, depleted, or wondered if there's another way, this episode is your validation and roadmap.
