My Podcast Interview on Burnout and Misalignment with James Nutter on A Life Well Lived
I had another fascinating conversation with James Nutter of IM Wealth on his podcast A Life Well Lived: A Physician's Guide to Wealth. We talked about the ways that living out of alignment with your personal values can lead to burnout, disappointment, and disengagement.
Giving name to your values breathes life into them. It helps you to develop goals and plans that are realistic, purposeful, and personally fulfilling. And naming values that you share with your spouse or loved ones can also help to connect you more deeply to the life you are living now and the future you are dreaming of.

Giving name to your values is powerful, because it breathes life into them. This acknowledgement of who you are and what you stand for can give you the insight you need to create a life that feels purposeful and personally fulfilling. And naming values that you share with your spouse or loved ones can also help to connect you more deeply to the life you are living together now and the shared future you are dreaming of.
In this episode we discuss:
🔥 Why burnout is not a personal failure
🔥 How chronic misalignment shows up as anxiety, fatigue, cynicism, or numbness
🔥 Why achieving impressive goals can still feel empty
🔥 The importance of clarifying personal values before setting career goals
🔥 How a personal mission statement can act as a decision-making filter during hard seasons
🔥 Practical ways physicians can advocate for healthier systems without burning bridges
Rather than beginning with a run for the exit from clinical practice when your values don’t line up with your organization, we discuss how you can start with building alignment, optionality, and agency. We explore how small but intentional systems — both personal and organizational — can reduce burnout at its source and restore a sense of meaning and coherence to your life. And we look at ways that you can design calculated shifts that over time will help you to create a sustainable and joyful life.
If you are feeling trapped, exhausted, or uncertain about your next step, this episode offers both validation and direction. Burnout is not proof that you are broken. Often, it is information which, when understood clearly, can become a catalyst for wiser, more aligned change.
Besides being an inspiring podcast host, James specializes in holistic financial guidance for physicians. I don’t formally endorse specific services or financial advisors, but I value his empathetic perspective and his insight into the unique challenges that physicians face.

Alexis is married to a surgeon, so she has seen firsthand how little education most of us have in financial strategies, and how this lack of knowledge can hurt us and leave us vulnerable to bad advice.
This podcast addressed financial strategies related to side gigs, managing independent practices and more. Alexis is an engaging speaker and shares a wealth of practical insight.
