Hi, I'm Emma. Pediatric palliative care physician. Burnout recovery coach. And someone who has sat with enough dying patients to know that most of us are not living the life we actually want. I've spent my career at the intersection of two truths: medicine is profound, meaningful work, and the system we practice in is actively designed to grind that meaning out of us. I work with physicians who are exhausted, who have lost themselves somewhere inside a career they used to love, and who are ready to stop waiting for the system to change before they do. You don't have to leave medicine to get your life back. But you do have to do something different than what got you here. That's my part to play in fixing what's broken in medicine. One physician at a time. → DM me to talk about private coaching#physiciancoach #physicianburnout #doctorsofinstagram by @ejones_md

It’s not on any checklist but being in a room with a dying patient and feeling nothing is a pretty good indicator you are burned out. The mean reds (credit to Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany’s) is a pretty apt description. I would also say my head felt hot on the inside. The shame spiral is profound and deep and weighs you down like an elephant. I’m glad I got out. I will do anything to help pull other people out. #burnoutrecovery #burnoutsupport by @ejones_md

Want to know what it feels like Numb just going through the motions Foggy headed. Losing your thought mid sentence Irritable raw nerve. Snapping at everyone if they even breathe wrong You just feel bad and don’t know why but feel guilty for not being able to get over it. Long story short, it sucks.

Burnout often convinces high-achieving people that hyper-independence is strength and that they are the only one who feels this way. Isolation pours gasoline on this lie.We isolate to protect ourselves when our nervous system that has been overwhelmed for too long. But healing requires community. You are not the only one. 📌 Save this for later or share it with someone who may need the reminder. by @ejones_md

Getting out of burnout can be a slow process. We have to actually do the things we read about in order to get better. This is hard to do by yourself and so many people stay stuck because they don’t ask for help. You do have to walk the terrain. You don’t have to walk it alone. #burnoutrecovery #healthcareburnout #burnoutcoach by @ejones_md

Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic.Sometimes it just looks “normal” in medicine.Save this if you felt a little too seen or send it to someone in healthcare.#physicianburnout #medicalburnout #physicianwellness #burnoutrecover #medlife #physiciancoach #fyp #explorepage by @ejones_md

Perfectionism in medicine is often rewarded early… until it quietly becomes burnout.When your self-worth depends on never making mistakes, rest starts to feel undeserved.Save this for the days you forget you’re human too.#PhysicianBurnout #MedicalBurnout #PhysicianWellness #WomenInMedicine #Perfectionism #BurnoutRecovery by @ejones_md
