On today’s episode, I’m talking to sports medicine physician Dr. Julie Bruene about setting boundaries. 

Julie is an Assistant Professor in Family & Preventative Medicine and Orthopedic Surgery at Rush University and is a team physician for the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Bulls. When Julie began taking stock of her career ten years after she finished training, she realized she needed to begin setting boundaries and saying no to some of the opportunities that came her way. Now in what she describes as the sophomore year of her career, Julie is finding her footing in her extracurriculars and co-hosting a podcast, Your Doctor Friends, where she breaks down the hype surrounding medical news and fads. 

We talk about:

• Feeling like a quitter or fearing retribution when we get serious about setting boundaries at work.
• How gaining a sense of belonging comes from both internal and external validation.
• The importance of having at least one person who will listen to our problems and help us process, no matter what.
