Still Practicing with Sue Daniels, MD
by Susan Daniels
If I've learned one thing from a career in healthcare, it's that colleagues train hard, show up, do the work, and quietly burn out. I saw it happen to others, but I didn't really understand the struggle until it happened to me. I'm Dr. Sue Daniels, a pediatrician and survivor of what happens when a healthcare professional blinks and finds herself lost in a career she once loved. I'm also proud to say I found my way back, and if I can do it, so can you. Every other week, I invite you to join me on Still Practicing as we explore what happens AFTER burnout prevention has run its course and you're left wondering what's next. Spoiler alert: it's not about coping better. It's about realistically answering one essential question: What kind of life and career are actually worth coming back to? Through honest conversations and lived stories, my guests share how they've reclaimed meaning, ambition, and agency in their work and lives. Pediatricians are the center of
