Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Jessica Louie.
Born and raised in the Midwest, Dr. Jessica Louie, PharmD, APh, BCCCP headed out to the West Coast to pursue her bachelor degree and doctorate degree from the University of Southern California (USC). She then pursued her post-graduate training at the University of Utah Hospital, completing a PGY1 in pharmacy practice and PGY2 in critical care. Jessica now holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree (PharmD) from the University of Southern California, is a board-certified critical care pharmacist (BCCCP), advanced practice pharmacist (APh) in California and currently teaches as an Assistant Professor at West Coast University School of Pharmacy.
During her nine-year training journey, she experienced high levels of stress that led to healthcare burnout during her residency and first job in academia. She coped with this stress by shopping and accumulating a bulging wardrobe and cluttered home. Then a family member passed away suddenly and Jessica realized she was not living intentionally. She had scattered goals and felt like she just kept running towards a finish line that never got any closer. Life showed how short it could be and she needed to make a change.
Jessica was saved by decluttering and simplifying her life. She found Marie Kondo’s life-changing books and the KonMari Method saved her from pharmacist burnout. She applied the KonMari Method to her own home and then took the philosophy and applied it to the rest of her life – being intentional with her finances to go debt-free, focusing on her health and well-being, and surrounding herself with people who sparked joy. Her family and friends noticed the change and asked for help. Jessica started helping them apply the KonMari Method to their own homes – clearing the clutter from their homes and minds and resetting burnout. This grew into a business as Jessica become a Certified KonMari Consultant in 2018 and launched her Declutter and Burnout Coaching business, The Burnout Doctor.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
My transformation from a burnt-out pharmacist with unclear goals and cluttered home didn’t happen overnight. It didn’t happen over a few weeks. Who knew after accumulating stuff over years to decades that it wouldn’t all just tidy up and organize in a matter of days! It took months to declutter my physical space and then declutter my mental, emotional and spiritual health. I reset old habits that no longer served me and learned new habits to live intentionally and bring joy into my life. I took time to find myself…clarify my purpose and set clear goals. Shifting my mindset from a fixed to a growth mindset helped me develop a different perspective on failure, struggle, and challenges. And along the way, I learned there was a term called “burnout” and realized that was what I experienced – healthcare burnout. I didn’t cure myself or solve my burnout. I learned how to reset it with simple processes.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about The Burnout Doctor – what should we know?
Dr. Jessica Louie specializes in helping pharmacists and healthcare professionals as a Declutter and Burnout Coach in-person and virtually.
As pharmacist and professionals come to me frazzled and overwhelmed, I’m your well-being expert. I work side by side my clients to help you declutter your homes and minds + reset feelings of burnout. This gives you a step-by-step process and accountability partner. You can change your feelings into joyful and intentional living – with more time, energy, productivity, confidence, mindfulness, and overall well-being. I coach pharmacists and professionals in-person locally or virtually. I specialize in 1:1 coaching and also offer online self-paced courses and free workbook downloads to get started and TAKE ACTION no matter what season of life you’re in.
Jessica is different from other coaches because…
• Lasting Change
– We take a Category-by-category approach instead of room-by-room or little-by-little approach which doom you to pick away at clutter forever
– When you properly simplify and organize your home once, you’ll never go through it again – because it effectively shifts habits and mindsets
• Focus on Keeping items that Speak to our Hearts (aka “spark joy”)
– We focus on what we will keep, not how much we will discard. Those items that no longer speak to our hearts (spark joy!), we thank them (give gratitude) and let them go.
• Transformative Holistic Process
– Dr. Jessica Louie uses her healthcare background to coach you through emotional and difficult decisions.
– She helps you gain clarity of your purpose, declutter your mind along with your home, and align your work into your life with simple processes to avoid overwhelm, lead with confidence and curate lives they LOVE.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My community of supporters from my first two online businesses, Petite Style Script and Find Your Script. They stuck with me as I made mistakes and learned how to run small businesses while continuing a full-time career in healthcare and academia. Their support propelled me to open my declutter and burnout business and transition my focus into this area. I’m now able to reach beyond the classroom and serve more people than I ever thought possible through online services and social media engagement. They are supporting me as I launch my podcast this summer, The Burnout Doctor Podcast.
