One of the core tenets of being a great physician is supporting one's colleagues.  There is no one who can uniquely understand the wonder and complexity of healthcare, like a colleague.  But when power erodes compassion, we lose our humanity.  We suffer. Patients suffer.

12. Permission to be Human with Dr. Tracey O'Connell

As a physician, coach, and friend, people share their most intimate experiences with me. This podcast shares the intimate stories of life in medicine. 

Season 2 features physicians who are reimagining healthcare and creating careers that are healing for them AND their patients.  By stepping away from the status quo, they show that change is a sign of growth and possibility. They are reclaiming a sustainable life in medicine, and we are all better for it.  If you’ve been wondering what else is possible, you’re in the right place. 

Season 1  shares intimate personal stories from physicians. As they struggled through hardship, the deep fear, shame, disappointment, and uncertainty created a fog of isolation. When they finally speak out, ask for help, and connect, they all said the same thing, “I thought it was just me.”  These are their survival stories.
