Olga shares her journey from working 70-hour weeks as a full-time hospitalist to navigating a major identity shift when she became a full-time mom after moving to Florida. What followed was a powerful reframe around mindset, purpose, and building medicine on her own terms. This conversation is about a lot more than burnout. We dive into identity, vision, boundaries, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to stop living on autopilot and start building a life that feels more intentional, aligned, and free. Olga also shares how she built her coaching business, developed the DAMA framework, created alternative income streams, and began practicing medicine in a way that better fits the life she actually wants. 🔥 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻: ✔️ Why burnout is often more about misalignment than just working too many hours ✔️ How Olga navigated the identity shift from full-time physician to full-time mom ✔️ The DAMA framework: Driven, Aligned, Building Momentum, and Taking Action ✔️ Why vision setting is essential if you want to practice medicine on your own terms ✔️ How to use “net time” and small habits to build momentum in a busy season ✔️ Why community, accountability, and mentorship can accelerate your growth ✔️ How Olga built the confidence to launch her coaching business and podcast ✔️ Why setting boundaries and reclaiming your time, energy, and confidence matters so much for women physicians 🔥 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ✅ Burnout is often a signal that something in your life is out of alignment ✅ You do have a choice in how you practice medicine and build your life ✅ Clear vision plus small, consistent action creates real momentum ✅ The right community can dramatically accelerate courage and growth ✅ Building alternative income streams can create more flexibility and fulfillment ✅ Real freedom comes when your time reflects your values and priorities If you’ve ever felt stuck between medicine, family, identity, and the desire for something more…but still are not sure what it looks like to build a life on your own terms…𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲. Connect with Dr. Olga Deengar:LinkedInWebsiteFacebookInstagramIf you want to learn how investing in real estate can give you the freedom to practice medicine and live life how you want then check out the links below:Facebook CommunityWebsiteInstagramYoutubeInvest With MeJoin The RAL Room Assisted Living Mastermind
