Have you ever wondered how some physicians maintain their passion for medicine amidst the demands of their profession? In this week's episode, Dr. Mikel Segal shares how her innate sense of creativity led her along the path of continually searching for more. She discusses how this mindset allowed her to discover the realm of coaching, prompting immense fulfillment and purpose. Join us as Dr. Segal invites listeners to align one's work with their innermost drives, crafting a medical career that resonates with personal fulfillment, meaning, and joy.

"I had to nurture it outside of medicine for the most part initially, but I think that’s what sort of come more into my life in the past five years like since I’ve been doing coaching and facilitating that I’ve been able to incorporate that more into my career because that type of work allows that creativity with the coaching like there’s just more flow and you can add more creative aspects to it. So it’s sort of revitalized my job in a way within sort of the confines of traditional medicine. There is not a lot of room for creativity, so I kind of had to nurture it outside of that but it’s been nice to sort of incorporate it a bit more with my wellness work and leadership work." -Dr. Mikel Segal
