Breaking Free from the Hamster Wheel: With Dr. Sunny Smith, Dr. Karen Leitner and Dr. Sonia Wright. Thriving in 2025 Part 4

Craving rest but afraid to slow down?


In this final episode of the Thriving in 2025 series, I’m joined
by Dr. Sonia Wright, Dr. Sunny Smith, and Dr. Karen Leitner to
explore why slowing down feels so scary for physicians—and how it
can transform your well-being.


If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel—doing
more, giving more, but never feeling like it’s enough—this
episode will resonate. We discuss why rest and self-compassion
are essential, not just for preventing burnout, but for managing
stress-driven habits like overeating. Slowing down creates space
to approach food and life with intention and care.


Listen now to learn the small but powerful shifts that can help
you thrive in 2025.
