82. Svetlana Chamoun - Tackling The Business Of Burnout

Your health may be at risk because your doctor’s health is being systemically undermined. Svetlana Chamoun is a cardiologist who practices lifestyle medicine and is raising awareness for burnout in the medical system. Western healthcare as a whole has evolved in an unfortunate direction, fueled by profit over compassion. Doctors are incentivized by business models that reward treating larger numbers of patients with expensive procedures and medications. Due to these conditions, many medical professionals are suffering from mental health issues and dangerous degrees of burnout. Remember to be kind and compassionate to your doctors, they are humans too!

What is The Jill Cruz Podcast?

If you are a woman in leadership and/or aspiring for greater leadership and you are looking to have it all; success in your career, personal life, and health, you're going to love this podcast season.

I am incredibly passionate about this topic because I believe that as women leaders we can have it all! We don't have to settle for being successful in just one area of life such as our careers. We can orchestrate a life that is fulfilling, pleasurable, and healthy in all areas. We are all a "work-in-progress" but it's important to BELIEVE we can have it all or we surely won't get that.

We will be speaking about what it takes to be a successful leader AND have a thriving personal life. Topics include passion, purpose, grit, compassion, self-awareness, thought leadership, self-care, wellness, visionary thinking, and strategic leadership.
