Ep. 70 Breaking the Mold: A Physician Leader’s Journey to Prioritizing Family with Erin Hurley

Life in the fast lane as a mom woman leader in medicine wasn’t working out so well for Erin Hurley on the homefront. Charting on her own patients from the room where her four-year-old was hospitalized wasn’t the kind of mom she wanted to be. Demands on time, energy, and the impact on family relationships and finances are significantly different for women than men in medicine. The extra time, and emotional and physical energy women physicians put into their jobs sacrifice other areas of their lives. And the fact that their patients have better outcomes didn’t balance out this equation for Erin. 

Find out what book catalyzed the beginning of Erin’s personal transformation, helping her let go of her identity as a physician leader. Discover how coaching helped change her mindset and life and why she retired from medicine. Learn how coaching made it possible to make decisions she wouldn’t have otherwise. And how the new mindset allowed her to move from having to be right, to being open and willing to learn and grow from anyone and everyone, and the impact that has on her level of joy and satisfaction with life.
