What happens when your dream job nearly breaks you?
Dr. Danielle Don Diego was a rising family physician on the traditional path—until burnout, disillusionment, and a moment of deep self-reflection changed everything. In this raw and inspiring episode, she shares her powerful story of walking away from the “assembly line” of modern medicine, rediscovering her identity, and building a life on her own terms.
From six weeks of solo travel to launching her own business, Danielle shares the pivotal moment that pushed her to leave her first job, and why she believes self-care alone can’t fix physician burnout. She opens up about how telehealth and entrepreneurship gave her the freedom she craved, and offers practical tips for doctors who want to start building a brand or business while still working full-time. Most powerfully, she explains the mindset shift that helped her reconnect with who she really is—and how she now helps others do the same.
If you’re a healthcare provider stuck in a system that doesn’t feel built for you, this episode is your permission slip to explore a different path.
