I am so excited to share today’s guest, PA Tara Cross. Tara currently works as an orthopedic PA but also runs her own business teaching wilderness medicine of all levels. From teaching lay people basic first aid and CPR to running advanced life support courses for PAs and paramedics, Tara loves to share her knowledge of wilderness medicine and safety.
In today’s episode, Tara tells us what to do if we encounter an emergency outside the walls of our hospital or clinic. She details what we should have on hand to be prepared for an emergency, whether we’re hiking the backcountry or at our kid’s soccer game. Tara discusses the basics everyone should know and how to adjust our mindset from waiting for CT or ultrasound results to using the limited resources we have on hand to triage the situation and stabilize the patient.
Listen in to learn what you can apply today to increase safety and be prepared on your next camping trip or next trip to the playground.

We’re kicking off a new series all about back to money basics with this episode on the podcast. Joining me as a special guest for this series is my very own virtual assistant, Sarah Miller. Sarah is a critical care PA, a VA, and also a finance guru. Sarah shares how and why she became a VA as well as how a strong foundation in money management allowed her the financial freedom to make different decisions regarding her career and family. She was able to make decisions based on her values and what worked best for her family, not solely based on money.
We want you to also have that financial freedom. To be able to make decisions based on your values and what’s important to you, not based only on finances. We want you to choose your job, where you live, how you raise your children, what kinds of vacations you go on, etc based on what you want, not only on the cost associated.
Financial freedom brings you choices, time freedom, and the ability to create the life you love. Let’s dig into the basics of money so that you, too, can build a solid financial foundation for your future.

Have you ever had a personal medical diagnosis or event happen in your life that initially felt like a huge barrier or burden? You didn’t know how you would move past it or learn to live with this barrier in your life. That’s initially how today’s guest, Dane Thomas, felt when he was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult 10 years into his PA career.
But Dane didn’t let his ADHD diagnosis be a detriment to his PA practice or his personal life. Dane found ways to harness his ADHD tendencies to use them as a superpower so that he could be an incredible PA and person. Dane embraced what he initially perceived to be a weakness in order to develop his diagnosis into a strength.
Tune in today’s episode as Dane and I discuss how everyone with mental health issues and learning disabilities have the capacity to achieve great things in their lives.

75% of American adults are overweight or obese. With that statistic, we will definitely treat overweight or obese patients, regardless of our specialties. But how do we discuss weight with our patients? Many PAs feels nervous about discussing a patient’s weight and don’t know how to approach what can be a very sensitive and emotionally-charged topic.
That’s why I have Elena Sullivan on the podcast today to lead a masterclass in talking about obesity with compassion. Elena has been working as a PA in obesity and lifestyle medicine for 4 years. She shares how to focus on longitudinal whole person care with our patients. Elena defines weight bias and stigma, and how we can identify our own biases in order to best care for our patients.
I learned so much from my conversation with Elena on the best ways to discuss obesity, weight loss and health with my patients, and also how to apply these tools to my own life. But my biggest takeaway from Elena’s masterclass on obesity? Elena believes that the biggest weight one can lose is that of others’ opinions and criticism of our own selves.

Moral injury can occur when healthcare professionals are forced to act in ways that contradict their moral or ethical beliefs due to external pressures or systemic constraints. Unlike burnout, which is often characterized by physical and emotional exhaustion, moral injury stems from a deep sense of betrayal or moral conflict.
In this episode, we'll explore the difference between moral injury and burnout and discuss practical strategies for addressing moral injury in your life and career. Whether you're experiencing these challenges firsthand or supporting colleagues who are, this episode aims to provide some clarity and a touch hope. You’ll walk away understanding moral injury and with the skills to identify if it’s happening to you.
