In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Fluke, a physician assistant and founder of Inspiring Wild Hearts. She shares how she found peace and healing during one of the most challenging times in her life. Through intentional hikes and moments of stillness in nature, Jenn discovered that slowing down was essential to her recovery from a traumatic event.

We talk about why taking life at a gentler pace can feel uncomfortable at first, how multitasking can actually get in the way of true processing, and why rest without guilt is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Jenn also shares her biggest lesson from this journey: to be gentle with yourself and know that needing rest is not weakness — it’s wisdom.

If you’ve been running on empty or struggling to give yourself permission to pause, this episode will remind you that slowing down might be exactly what you need.

In this episode, Dr. Pearson shares why understanding the fine print of your insurance policies is a vital, although often overlooked, part of self-care.

In this episode, I’m joined by TeezySoDope, a hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, and creative force. She shares a pivotal season of her life when she no longer recognized herself and began experiencing vision changes. Her body was sending her a message that she could no longer ignore. What followed was a powerful turning point that invited her to pause, listen, and realign.

From embracing a plant-based diet to surrendering to deep rest after surgery, Teezy began to clear her mind, replenish her energy, and reconnect with her Highest Self. Now, eight years later, she continues to ground herself daily through prayer, self-check-ins, and long showers.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to keep pushing, even when your body is asking you to slow down, then this conversation is for you. It’s a reminder that rest is the real work.

What would you regret more: trying and failing, or never trying at all?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Emanuel Perez, former tech startup CEO turned creative visionary and founder of Explay, a lab for self-expression and bold experimentation. Emanuel shares how a life-altering car accident prompted him to finally listen to what had been tugging at his soul, to stop putting off the ideas that wouldn’t leave him alone, and to bet on himself again.

Together, we explore themes from his personal manifesto, including the intersection of fear and curiosity, the difference between side quests and your true path, and the beauty of taking up space in the world with your whole self. Emanuel reminds us that living fully (not perfectly) is what matters most.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to do something bold, creative, or deeply personal but held back out of fear, this conversation is your nudge to take that first step.

What happens when a burned-out pediatrician, mom and military spouse steps onto an improv stage? A surprising self-care transformation with a lot of laughter along the way.

In this episode, Dr. Wendy Schofer, founder of Family in Focus, shares how her decision to try improv during a difficult chapter of her life helped her reconnect with joy, play, and authenticity. She opens up about the discomfort of shedding professional and parental identities in order to simply be, and how returning to improv years later with her son became a powerful vehicle for healing and growth.

We dive into the connection between roles, expectations, and the freedom to show up as our full selves. Dr. Schofer shares how she is now using improv to help families do the same through her Improv for Health workshop and virtual resources.

What happens when women come together in spaces built on trust, authenticity, and shared purpose? In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Erica Howe, hospitalist physician, dynamic speaker, and founder of the Women Physicians Wellness Conference.

We talk about the transformative power of safe spaces where women can connect vulnerably, reflect honestly, and learn from one another. From intimate small-group discussions to full-scale wellness retreats, we share why we both prioritize building these spaces in our work and why you can (and should) seek out or create your own if you haven’t yet found one that fits.

Whether you're a physician, founder, or leader in your field, this episode is a reminder that community is essential and you don't have to go it alone.
