Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week, I am thrilled to have Dr. Mary Leung with us, a dedicated hematologist oncologist and a life coach for physicians. In this episode, we delve into how Dr. Leung transitioned from traditional medical practice to coaching, helping physicians manage stress, avoid burnout, and achieve work-life balance. We explore practical strategies for improving workplace efficiency and emotional well-being, both in healthcare settings and beyond. Dr. Leung shares her personal journey and the impactful lessons on maintaining a fulfilling life while excelling in a demanding career. Tune in to gather insightful tips on creating a balanced life in and out of medicine.Dr. Mary Leung is a physician who is board-certified in internal medicine, medical oncology and hematology. She is also a certified life coach who is passionate about serving physicians who are stressed, overwhelmed and burned out.Dr. Mary was working and charting after hours many nights and weekends until life coaching transformed her life. She is now going home at least 2.5 hours earlier than before, with all her clinical work completed for the day. From the depths of her own experience, Dr. Mary founded Shining With Gratitude MD. Her passion and mission is to guide other physicians through their unique situations — so they can feel better, have more time outside of their clinical work, regain control and have more clarity. Her hope is for physicians to rediscover joy in life and in medicine. Dr. Mary believes that if physicians can enjoy practicing medicine again, they can take better care of their patients. Through renewal, they can shine brighter for their families and all the lives they touch.0:28 - Introduction to Dr. Mary Leung0:42 - Dr. Leung's Background and Career1:20 - Transition to Coaching and Personal Development7:07 - Impact of Administrative Burdens on Physicians8:51 - Techniques for Improving Daily Efficiency15:13 - AI and Its Role in Modern Medicine17:38 - Achieving Work-Life Balance24:22 - Client Success Stories and Approaches26:09 - Advice for Non-Medical Professionals28:50 - Family Gratitude Practices and Final ThoughtsConnect with Dr. Mary LeungConnect with Dr. Kerry RellerPodcast website: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprou... My linktree: linktr.ee/kerryrellermdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClearwaterFamilyMedicineInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearwaterfamilymedicine/Clearwater Family Medicine and Allergy website: https://sites.google.com/view/clearwa...Podcast: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprou... Subscribe to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Amazon music, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Pandora.
