But I wasn't always living this incredible life of freedom and fulfillment.
Back in 2018, I was a 2nd year OBGYN resident working 80 hours a week and feeling emptier than ever. I had graduated top in my class in medical school and matched into my top choice residency program.
By any accounts, I was on my way to checking all the boxes for a happy and successful life.
My life looked fantastic on the outside, but on the inside I felt hollow.
Most days I would think to myself "I hate being a doctor". It felt like I was going through the majority of waking hours begrudgingly performing tasks I did not care about.
I was so depleted from work that I didn’t have energy to do things I enjoyed when I got home.
Most of my spare time was spent mindlessly scrolling social media or watching Netflix. I lost touch with friends because I didn't feel like I could show up as my best self to socialize with them.
