How to Beat Burnout and Find Your Purpose When Your Self-Care Routine Isn’t Cutting It with Dr. Shivani Barto
Season 1 · Episode 84
jeudi 9 février 2023 • Duration 46:13
There’s a conundrum I see healthcare professionals getting trapped in. Feeling run down by the daily grind of life and then because they are so exhausted they lack the time and energy to do something about it. Essentially you are too burnt out to manage your burn out.
You are trying to “do the things” you are supposed to do to take care of yourself- like yoga, meditation, green juices, but it’s hard to find the time to consistently commit to your own self care.
You are absolutely not alone. Way too many healthcare professionals these days are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, burnt out and isolated, and we want to do something about that.
This is why Dr. Shivani Barto, Dr. Manuela Rodriguez and I have created the Alma Ser retreat, a week long immersive experience to nourish your soul being.
Listen in to this episode where you will learn all about:
- The way attending a retreat can put you into a state of “click” where wellness becomes who you are instead of just another thing you need to cross off your list.
- The intentional integration process that Shivani takes participants through, so that the retreat isn’t just a nice vacation, but something that will change the way you approach everyday life when you return home.
If you are feeling burnt out, trying to get on that self care train and want some support integrating wellness practices into your everyday life, listen to this episode and see how attending a retreat could be the answer you’ve been looking for!
Join us for the Alma Ser Retreat in Lagos Portugal- May 21-27. Over the 6 days you will learn how to create a life with LESS stress & MORE joy. Interested? Book a call with Chelsea https://calendly.com/coachchelsmd/retreat

Beat Doctor Burnout By Fill Your Own Cup First with Dr. Shivani Barto
Season 1 · Episode 83
vendredi 3 février 2023 • Duration 53:07
How can I start turning my passions into my career? What do I do if my dream career doesn't seem to exist? This is exactly what our special guest Dr. Shivani Kamodia Barto discussed in this week's episode.
Shivani is a dentist, yoga teacher, and multi-passionate person who knew she was never going to be a traditional dentist. She recently took the leap to leave her clinical practice (temporarily) and go all in on her business creating wellness retreats for women in healthcare. She is a living example of the fact that we can't just sit around and wait for our dream career to smack us in the face, we have to intentionally CREATE it.
Listen in as Dr. Barto talks about how to clarify your purpose and create a cohesive vision as a multi-passionate healthcare provider. She discussed what it really feels like to live your purpose, practical steps you can take to transition from full-time clinical practice to pursuing your side gig, and the importance of integrating mindfulness into your everyday life throughout the process.
