Dr. Jattu Senesie is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, physician satisfaction specialist, self-described recovering pathological altruist and native of the Washington DC metropolitan area. She retired from clinical practice at age 35 in an attempt to find a balance between maintaining her own sense of well-being and living a life of service. Since leaving clinical medicine, she has become a certified success coach and founded her business Essence of Strength. She teaches physicians how to be as intentional about their sense of satisfaction and well-being as they have been about their success.
In this episode, she tells her reset story of how she pivoted in her career and what supported her in doing that. We dive into specific assessments one can do to develop self-awareness and determine what they really need in their life and career. Listen in to learn how to not run from the bad, but rather focus on the good we want. We discuss strategies for self-care, building energy, honoring priorities, and aligning a desire for achievement with our needs for our mind/body/spirit. Jattu tells us the secret to shifting your mindset, so you move away from constantly overextending yourself!
We also explore the unique challenges of non-physician parents that arise in the search for personal well-being.
