You Are Not a Frog

The podcast that helps people under pressure beat burnout and work happier.

I have never listened to podcasts before but discovered yours last year and have gone through the whole series from start to finish. They have genuinely helped me survive the last year, and I have gone from hurtling rapidly towards burnout, to last week making definite steps towards dropping some things from my job. Thank you.

Rachel… thank you! I’m a GP in Scotland. Going through the mill. Struggling to keep going in practice. Long days. Burnt out. Your podcast has been a highlight of my week for over a year now and has given me so many tools and hope really!

Your podcast literally saved my life and that of my GP partner, and helped us regain ground and time.

Just wanted to say thank you for being the lilypad life-raft in my pond! I binged most of the episodes as they are so enjoyable and accessible… great on the way to work or picking up the children! They are a perfect way to learn and improve ourselves without adding further stress to the wonky world of being a GP.

The podcast lessons about naughty monkeys, good conflict, enneagrams, money matters, psychological safety, embracing your own creativity and all the super inspirational guests and various concepts have been invaluable to me in making me think about aspects of myself I previously hadn’t considered and also giving me the confidence to make a change in my career which I know will benefit my family and me in the long run.

How to Beat Inbox Overwhelm

With Rachel Morris

Our inboxes are overflowing and overwhelming. The sheer number of emails and the constant notifications can make it hard to focus. It feels like there’s no way to keep up, and we end up stressed, dreading what’s waiting for us. The problem isn’t the emails themselves – it’s the lack of a system to manage

Meet your host

You Are Not a Frog is hosted by Dr Rachel Morris, a GP turned executive coach and trainer

Rachel started podcasting as a way to interview interesting people and pretend that she was working. Half a million downloads later, it turns out she has a knack for it.

Having worked in the NHS for two decades and been on her own career journey, she knows what it’s like to feel trapped in a job you have studied long and hard for but makes you feel stressed and unhappy.

Rachel is a firm believer that you don’t need to change careers to thrive in your 9-5 (or 8-8). It’s why she founded her training & coaching business, Wild Monday, to help professionals under pressure find freedom and possibility even on a Monday morning.

But there are simple things you can do and changes you can make that will make a huge amount of difference. Listen to the podcast, and you’ll find out what they are…
