Physicians are some of the highest-paid professionals, yet financial stress is a persistent burden. Between student loans, conflicting advice, and the pressure to “live like a resident” versus enjoying life, many doctors feel trapped in a never-ending cycle of uncertainty.

This episode dives into the emotional weight of money, the internal conflicts physicians face, and a roadmap to taking back control—without sacrificing what truly matters.

Three Actionable Tips:

1. Define Your Financial Values – Instead of blindly following generic advice, identify what matters most to you (e.g., freedom, family, travel, security) and structure your financial plan around those core values.
2. Take One Small Step Today – Overwhelm breeds paralysis. Whether it’s setting up an automatic loan payment, increasing your retirement contribution by 1%, or scheduling a financial check-in, progress starts with action.
3. Protect Your Future Self – Don’t just focus on paying off debt; ensure you have a safety net (disability insurance, emergency fund) so your career and lifestyle are protected against the unexpected.
