About this listen

In this episode of the Fit Physician Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Caitlin Christie—family physician and coach for women doctors—to unpack burnout, moral injury, and the post-COVID realities of practicing medicine. Caitlin shares her “fall-to-your-knees” moment, how motherhood and system pressures collided, and the inside-out framework she now teaches: clarifying your personal standard of excellence, setting boundaries without guilt, dropping people-pleasing, and focusing on what’s truly in your control. You’ll hear practical tools for navigating charged patient encounters, rebuilding fulfillment, and making small (or big) career tweaks that restore joy—so you can keep serving at a high level without sacrificing yourself. Tune in for honest stories, evidence-informed strategies, and a hopeful path forward.
