Dr. Sherman opens up about his own experiences with burnout, revealing the challenges and internal struggles that many healthcare professionals face. He shares how his time away from medicine allowed him to reflect on his purpose and identity beyond his professional role, leading to significant personal and professional growth.

We delve into how Dr. Sherman's encounter with Parker Palmer's writings and the Center for Courage and Renewal helped him realign his values and find a balance between his personal identity and professional role.
