Mentioned on Ep 128: Celebrating 2 years on the podcast with 5 questions to ask yourself when hitting big milestones.


Welcome back to The Burnout Doctor Podcast, I’m your host Dr. Jessica Louie. We are celebrating two years of the podcast today! Thank you for sharing your action steps from our last episode on 10 reasons less stuff helps with burnout. Many of you are taking action by using our complimentary Burnout Starter Kit and What If Protocol – don’t forget to download yours today! We all write our own stories in our lives and homes. Let’s all bring joy into home and joy into work.

The biggest gift this anniversary is leaving a star rating and review on iTunes.

How does it feel to reach this milestone?

Honestly, it feels amazing. There were times I seriously doubted I would make it for two whole years with consistent podcast episodes EVERY SINGLE week and EVERY DAY in October 2020. I knew there were so many topics I wanted to share with all of you on each episode but that didn’t prevent writers block some late nights!

What brought you joy during this journey?

YOU! My listeners! Tuning in each Thursday and sending me emails and direct messages on what episodes really touched you, the story that resonated with you and the reviews that you shared of the content. It has touched my heart to hear that my story has reached into your home and made a difference in your life. This is what brings me joy daily.

What was something that was difficult on this journey to your two-year anniversary?

Feeling alone while podcasting into a microphone and hoping that the topic resonated with you and you took ACTION from it. I’m a big believer in proactive and action-taking learning and not passive listening.

What are you most proud of on this journey?

I’m most proud of Pharmacist Month Stories on the podcast in October 2020. This was one of the largest campaigns I took on that sprouted from an idea in late August 2020. I wanted to feature unique pharmacist career paths and their own simplifying or burnout stories on the podcast for American Pharmacist Month in October. I gathered together 27 pharmacists and published an episode every day during October and it honestly, was the best experience and something I hope helps so many fellow pharmacists, residents and students.

I would also like to highlight a few episodes that have been favorites of you as listeners. The top one is our series on Financial Well-being and Episodes 34-37 (view here). I’ve had so many amazing stories shared with me after listening to this series that I will be bringing back a new version of it in the future to share our payoff of $300,000+ debt story with all of you.

The first 8 episodes (view here) are definitely some of the most popular that outline burnout and allow you to apply the concepts in our FREE Podcast Workbook (get here). I highly recommend going back to these if you missed them and making sure you have the free workbook to take action.

What would you change on this journey to your two-year anniversary?

Creating more video content with the podcast episodes to supplement and support other learning styles. This is my goal for 2021 to increase my video content on YouTube and you can view weekly videos on Saturdays now!

Those are the 5 questions I ask on the way to BIG MILESTONES in life!

The biggest gift this anniversary is leaving a star rating and review on iTunes.

In my Joy at Work Course, you can get even more advice and action steps on how to make decisions with confidence and how to say no with confidence.

Make sure you’re following along on our YouTube channel (youtube.com/drjessicalouie) as well with new videos going live every Saturday!

Until next time, spark joy my friends!
