In this opening episode of the three-part conversation,

Koushi speaks with Dr. Charlotte Tomlinson, GP Registrar in Liverpool, UK and the voice behind The Health and Healing Narrative — a beautifully reflective blog giving space to the untold stories of medicine.

Charlotte shares how writing became her way to slow down, reconnect, and find meaning again in a profession that often moves too fast. Together, they explore the art of communication, what it means to hold compassion in challenging environments, and the quiet strength that comes from reflection.

From her early experiences in A&E to the moments that shaped her as both a doctor and a storyteller, Charlotte opens up about the vulnerability behind the white coat — and how words can bridge the gap between doctors and patients.

✨ In this episode, they talk about:

• The inspiration behind The Health and Healing Narrative

• Why writing helps doctors reconnect with purpose and empathy

• The vulnerability and humanity of medical training

• How reflection can transform the way we show up for our patients — and ourselves

A gentle, heartfelt reminder that sometimes, the most powerful medicine is the story we dare to tell.
