In this episode, Jo explores the critical importance of rediscovering your identity beyond your medical profession and the transformative power of personal hobbies in burnout recovery.

She shares her own journey back to social tennis in Orange, NSW, and how this simple hobby reminded her who she is when she takes off the white coat.

Jo discusses the dangerous trap of "White Coat Syndrome" - where healthcare professionals lose themselves entirely in their professional identity - and provides practical strategies for reclaiming your personal interests and achieving true work-life integration.

This episode is a wake-up call for any healthcare professional who has forgotten what they used to love doing before medicine consumed their life.
