- Physician Burnout: Dr. Haidar Al-Hakim
Send us Fan Mail
On this episode, I sat down and had a chat with Dr. Haidar Al-Hakim, who is an Ophthalmologist., psychotherapist, author, and host of the Surgical Spirit Podcast. He was kind enough to discuss his experience of burnout, his writing, and other endeavors, on top of advise on how to navigate difficult situations in life.

I sat down and interviewed Randy Silkwood, who is described as a rebel who goes against the grain to find spirituality in anything. We discussed spirituality, mindfulness, reconnection, and standing in one's power, which ties multiple points together that have previously been mentioned by physician guests.

21 Day Self Focus Journal29 min - Discussing Burnout with a Friendly Pharmacist
Send us Fan Mail
I had the pleasure of sitting down and interviewing Rachel Gainsbrugh, PharmD in the latest podcast episode. She shared her experience and story of burnout as a pharmacist, which I would not have even conceived. Listen as a colleague discusses metrics and situations, I as a consumer of the occasional pharmacy run, would not have contemplated. She further shares how she pivoted to make a life for herself in which she can thrive and recognize herself!

21 Day Self Focus Journal29 min - Physician Burnout: Dr. Maha Mohamad, MD: Thoughts from a Fellow
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, I talked with Dr. Maha Mohamad, MD. She is a rheumatology fellow at the University of Kansas-Kansas City finishing her first year. She gives great advice she has integrated into her life, and is still learning, how to combat burnout. One take away point/pearl I loved was to restore your battery—whatever that is. Work with your hands. Have a hobby outside of medicine. Nature is restorative. Make time for it all. It is self care, and that is not selfish.Though I am a physician, this is not medical advice.

21 Day Self Focus Journal1 hr 5 min - Season 2 Episode 5B: Dual Existence
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, I sat down with NHI founders, Ernesto Nieto and Gloria De Leon. They have both had an impact in my life from the age of 17. In part B of episode 5, Ernesto describes his background and how existing in 2 different realities and the loss of his father propelled him forward. It has inspired him to carry out his life's work with NHI [National Hispanic Institute], as well as to write three books, the third of which is being released later this year. Many parallels can be drawn with the way physicians exist and what Ernesto describes.

In this episode, I sat down with NHI founders, Ernesto Nieto and Gloria De Leon. They have both had an impact in my life from the age of 17. What is it you want out of life? What does your reality that you want look like? What is the third reality? We have to be the steward of our own ship, and how does one do that? What is the nurtured state, imposed state, and what do we want to do with our lives? From grief, they have both built a lasting impact for over 4 decades. Kick back, listen and enjoy.
