Description

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2440568/fan_mail/new] Dr Gigi Abdel - Samed, an ER Physician,  was working 12 to 13-hour night shifts, prescribed medication by her own medical system,  medication that turned out to be addictive. What followed was a period she could barely account for. Sleeping through the day, waking disoriented, doing things she had no memory of. This period changed her life, but the consequences were significant. But this episode isn't a loss story. It's a story about what happens when a high-functioning professional hits a wall they didn't see coming,  and what they choose to build on the other side of it. In this honest, unfiltered conversation, Gigi walks us through what was actually happening beneath the surface, why it went unnoticed for so long, and how she's now channelling that experience into supporting other doctors who are quietly struggling under the same pressures. In this episode we talk about: * What it looks like when burnout and dependency collide in a high-performance environment * Why the warning signs are so easy to miss, especially when you're the one trained to spot them in others * The moment Gigi realised something was seriously wrong * How she rebuilt and why she turned that experience into a business * The reality of what doctors face working long hours in high-pressure systems, and why so few talk about it About Gigi Dr. Gigi Abdel-Samed, MD is an ER Physician with 30 years of frontline experience and the creator of the Medical School for the Soul® platform. She is an Advisor to Healthcare Executives, specializing in Physician Engagement & Experience Stabilization helping to Improve Retention, Patient Satisfaction, and Risk Exposure GIGI ABDEL-SAMED LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-gigi-abdel-samed-md/  Connect with Louise and the House of Expansion: www.louisefernando.com

episode When you're not a category of one artwork

When you're not a category of one

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2440568/fan_mail/new] Stacey Beecham, Multidimensional Business Mentor for women who are done with niching or being a category of one.  In this episode, Stacey and I talk about psychic gifts and using multidimensional strands to get clients' mindblowing results. This can't be classified into a box, one lane, or one dimension.  Why do women struggle to articulate their genius when they are so powerful and use different strands to achieve results? This goes against the grain of what other industry experts advise, so this conversation will either trigger or excite you. Stacey explains how this plays out in business, what happens and how it can leave women feeling frustrated. You can find Stacey on INSTAGRAM  https://www.instagram.com/staceybeecham_business.oracle

The Evolution of Expression

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2440568/fan_mail/new] Kiki Neag and I in this episode talk about evolution in business and in life.  Kiki cured her own breast cancer using subconscious work, which shocked medics and her family. She fully backed herself that she could switch this around and she did. But interestingly after this, she hid her gifts. Choosing to become a content creator but secretly behind the scenes supporting people to heal. Kiki was brought to a halt, when things slowed down and life asked her to consider her gifts...and this story is how she went from €300 to a €300k year...using her subconscious gifts and finally admitting how she was helping others.  Kiki is no stranger to evolution, having just went through another evolution within her own business and supporting her clients to fully express themselves.  This is the evolution of expression...and expression leads to expansion.
