You’re a senior doctor or experienced healthcare professional — the one others rely on.
You’re smart, skilled, and calm under pressure. You’ve read the time management books, downloaded the productivity tools, and attended the workshops.
You know what to do.
But when the pressure’s on (and let's face it - these days, that's more often than not) it all falls apart. Not because you’re disorganised, but because you really care.
You worry about letting people down when your colleagues are overwhelmed too.
You feel guilty setting boundaries - what if there's an error, a complaint or a consequence you didn't foresee?
And you’re exhausted from holding everything together while telling your friends and family it's all fine - you just need to make it to the weekend, or your next annual leave, and you'll feel better.
You’re not lazy. You’re not failing. You’re running on fumes — and it’s unsustainable.
Getting your life back starts by changing how you approach your work - without losing yourself along the way.
How I Started Working Differently — and Got My Life Back
Hello, I’m Dr Rachel Morris — former GP, Executive Coach, and host of the You Are Not a Frog podcast.
I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, exhausted and guilty that you can’t do it all — especially when people rely on you. For years, I juggled frontline clinical work, family life, and multiple roles, trying to keep everyone happy and everything afloat.
It wasn’t until I trained as a coach and discovered the tools that became the Shapes Toolkit® that I realised:
👉 There was nothing I could do about my endless to-do list, the pressure I was under or the unmanageable workload. (And I couldn't wait for the system to change before I got a handle on my stress.)
👉 What I DID have the power to change was the mindset I’d learned from the very start of my career in medicine — that I should be able to do it all, never saying no, and sacrificing myself – without ever dropping a single ball.
I learned a new way to look at my time, priorities, and limits. And that's when everything shifted.
I stopped trying to be everything to everyone — and started working in a way that meant I could actually do a good job - without burning out.
I created the 'Get Your Life Back' course to share the practical mindset tools I wish I’d known earlier. In short, easy-to-apply lessons: so overwhelmed doctors like you can protect your boundaries, prevent burnout, and thrive — even in a stretched and stressed system.
These tools have helped thousands of doctors and leaders across the NHS take back control of their workload, protect their wellbeing, and thrive in roles they love.
If you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel, I’d love to show you how.
Dr Rachel Morris, Host of the Apple UK Business Top 100 'You Are Not A Frog' Podcast
As a busy GP senior partner, I initially felt guilty taking an hour for myself — but once I got started, I really enjoyed it. The tools are practical and immediately useful, like the urgent/important grid I now think about all the time. We’re so used to the pressure, we forget we’re human too — and we can’t keep pouring from an empty cup.

The time to work through exercises to make me stop and think was so valuable. It couldn't have come at a better time, as on top of the usual work pressures, it really helped bring things into perspective about what I can and can't control and how I can use this to set priorities and boundaries. Making time for my own wellbeing through boundaries is going to be more important than ever.
