Still Practicing with Sue Daniels, MD
If I've learned one thing from a career in healthcare, it's that colleagues train hard, show up, do the work, and quietly burn out. I saw it happen to others, but I didn't really understand the struggle until it happened to me. I'm Dr. Sue Daniels, a pediatrician and survivor of what happens when a healthcare professional blinks and finds herself lost in a career she once loved. I'm also proud to say I found my way back, and if I can do it, so can you. Every other week, I invite you to join me on Still Practicing as we explore what happens AFTER burnout prevention has run its course and you're left wondering what's next. Spoiler alert: it's not about coping better. It's about realistically answering one essential question: What kind of life and career are actually worth coming back to?

Every episode, I pull up a chair with a fellow clinician who hit that same wall and rebuilt, and we talk honestly about the moments and choices that changed everything. No toxic positivity, no generic coping

Dr. Sue Daniels is a pediatrician who grew up in Fargo, North Dakota and knew she wanted to be a doctor from age six, when her father was diagnosed with brain cancer and cutting edge care gave the family fourteen more years with him. She trained at the University of Minnesota for college, medical school, and pediatric residency, then spent most of her career owning her own practice, first in Minnesota and now in Bozeman, Montana, built with real attention to her community and her staff. A longtime teacher of medical students and residents, she is founding president of The Montana Mindfulness Project and serves on the Executive Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, the Academy's largest section. She also knows firsthand what it feels like to lose your footing in a career you once loved, and what it takes to find your way back. That experience is the heart of Still Practicing.
