You’re a doctor, senior healthcare professional or leader who trained hard, gives your all, and shows up — no matter what.

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken.
You’re just stuck in a system that never taught you how to work sustainably.
That’s where Beat Stress and Thrive comes in.

What's Inside the Course?
Wherever you’re starting from, whether you’ve done 'Get Your Life Back', or you’re jumping straight in — this course gives you the practical tools to take action and make real change.
It’s structured around six short, practical modules that build step-by-step to help you stop firefighting and take back control
Module One - Face Reality
Get clear on where you are now and understand the REAL causes of your stress. You’ll learn how to spot the warning signs, own your reality — and stop minimising what’s going on.
Module Two - Take Control
Identify what you can control, and where your power lies. Learn how to shift your mindset, focus on what matters, and stop wasting energy on things outside your control.
Module Three - Get Some Time
Discover how to get out of the urgency trap, reclaim space to think, and start planning your time around what really matters — not just what screams the loudest.
Module Four - Embrace Your Limits
Get honest about your capacity and learn how to work with your limits — not against them. Build wellbeing routines and reset expectations, so you can keep going without running on empty.
Module Five - Respond Better
Understand how to respond (not react) when you’re under pressure. You’ll learn how to hold your boundaries, manage pushback, and show up differently — without guilt or over-functioning.
Module Six - Design A Work Life You'll Love
Bring it all together with a practical plan for creating lasting change. Learn how to reset the expectations around you, stay out of rescue mode, and build a way of working that works for you.
Each module includes short videos, printable tools and real-life examples you can put into action straight away.

CASE STUDY
Real Tools. Lasting Change.
A Smarter Way to Lead.
As a senior clinical leader under intense pressure, I knew something had to change. I wasn’t thriving anymore — I was surviving day to day, barely holding things together.
I joined Beat Stress and Thrive based on the title alone. It sounded like exactly what I needed. And it was.
This course helped me make sense of what I was experiencing — and reminded me I wasn’t alone.
What I appreciated most was the structure. The way the course breaks things down — into taking control of your wellbeing, your time, and your responses — gave me space to reflect and shift my perspective. Tools like the Zone of Power and the Vortex helped me reframe how I think, act, and lead.
“The biggest shift? Realising I have more choices than I thought — and that I don’t have to stay stuck.”
Now, I feel lighter. More focused. More in control of how I show up at work and at home.
I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone feeling stretched or on the edge. It’s a smart investment in yourself — and in your ability to keep doing the work you care about, without burning out.
"This course gave me back clarity, choice — and the confidence to keep leading."

"The Prioritisation Grid and Zone of Power changed the way I approached my workload, for good"
Dr Rachel Morris, Host of the You Are Not A Frog Podcast
Hello! - I’m Rachel
I’m a former GP, Executive Coach and specialist in Resilience at Work.
All my working life I have struggled with feeling overwhelmed and guilty that I couldn’t do everything that people asked me to do, working on the frontline whilst juggling a family and several different roles. After training as a coach, I discovered some tools which changed the way I approached my work, and realised that the only way to avoid burnout caused by overwhelm and an unmanageable workload, is to think differently about my to-do list, make some difficult choices about what I will prioritise and focus my precious time and energy only on what’s important.
Now I love what I do, I know exactly what’s on my to-do list and I’ve got comfortable with not doing it all – even if no-one else will.
Over the past few years, through live training, online courses the You Are Not A Frog podcast, I’ve shared these tools and concepts with thousands of doctors and other busy people in high stake roles like healthcare.
My mission is to help doctors and other busy professionals beat burnout, work happier and thrive in work AND life.
