I've spent years cultivating some seemingly disparate sides of my personality. I like to call them The Scholar, The Sage, and The Savage.
The Scholar loves all things science. She loves to understand what makes things tick, she's fascinated by the human body, and she loves the amazing ways in which Eastern & Western medicines can collide to truly heal someone. She is positively addicted to continuing education.
The Sage is a bit of a wild woman. She loves tarot. She loves the goosebumps you get when you're thinking you should call a friend and pick up your phone only to see they're calling you. She talks to her dead relatives and refers to her cats as her familiars.
The Savage is...well, just that. She's a bit gluttonous. She loves doing the fun thing just for the hell of it. She ADORES late night solo dance parties, and she does not plan her vacations. She goes where the wind takes her because it makes for the best adventures (and stories), and she makes new friends with ease. She loves saying yes just to see what happens. She is spontaneity embodied. She is untamed, and untamable.
Historically, these women have lived very separate lives. I always felt that if The Sage spent too much time at work with The Scholar, I wouldn't be taken seriously as the highly trained and experienced medical professional that I am. After all, what medical office is a place for tarot cards and intuition?
And The Savage? She's why we don't have nice things. Like expensive wine glasses.
Or white jeans.
The more time I spent with The Sage, though, I realized that she is the reason I'm a great medical provider. I am intuitive. I know which questions to ask, even when I don't know why. Sometimes I ask seemingly odd or unrelated questions that truly get to the heart of what's going on with a client. The more I involved The Sage in my process, the more I realized that I wasn't shrinking as a medical provider - I was growing as a healer. The Savage is whip-smart and doesn't suffer bullshit. She is the voice that reminds people that enjoyment, contentment, and pleasure are critical to healing.
The Scholar is smart. The Sage is wise. The Savage is real.
And of these three women - The Scholar, The Sage, and The Savage - The Burnout Witch was born. My goal is to bring all my skills to the table, both intellectual and intuitive, to provide you with the most comprehensive healing process possible (with a side dish of fun).
What happens when ambition, hard work, and perfectionism entwine into a double-edged sword, both driving you toward success yet casting long shadows of burnout? This week, we're sitting down with Dr. Eliza Collins, an inspiring figure who's turned her personal …
