Dr. Michelle Gordon ran a multi-million-dollar surgical practice from 2005 to 2020 and grew it to 5 surgeons. She was already burned out from many sleepless nights and the overall lack of empathy for doctors by corporate medicine. All the overnight calls, lack of sleep, and generalized discontent with medicine led to severe overwhelm and burnout. The life as she knew it was no longer sustainable.

Then Covid hit. She walked away from her successful practice to recover from burnout and overwhelm. She discovered suffering is optional and it's possible to heal from burnout quickly with the right tools.

Dr. Gordon initially focused on menopause in her podcast and business. While menopause was a serious disruption for her, as she developed curriculum around menopause, she realized she didn't care much about the condition, and she cared a LOT more about personal transformation and behavior change.

That's caused her to rename her podcast Launch Your Life. It's the only mindset podcast that provides weekly actionable insights for lasting happiness and change for high-achieving professionals who are ready to bounce back from burnout.
