Imposter syndrome is not a personal failing - Listen to the Podcast

Jessie explains how self-doubt among physicians is less about individual weakness and more about a conditioned mindset reinforced by medical culture.

She reframes self-doubt as evidence of growth rather than inadequacy and calls for a cultural shift that stops normalizing imposter syndrome as inevitable in medicine.

Why judgment is hurting doctors—and how mindfulness can heal - Podcast: How to break the cycle of judgment in medicine

The culture of medicine is steeped in judgment—from the language of "noncompliant" patients to the intense scrutiny of training—and that this culture is crippling physicians. Jessie explains that while judgment is often disguised as a tool for maintaining high standards, it actually drives shame, blame, and exhaustion rather than excellence. The conversation examines the high cost of this mindset, which drains energy and fosters disconnection from patients and one's purpose. As a radical alternative, Jessie introduces the concept of Maitri, or unconditional friendliness —a mindfulness practice that replaces reflexive judgment with curiosity, compassion, and generosity. Listeners will learn practical ways to reframe feedback, opt out of the judgment cycle, and use mindfulness to protect their energy, build healthier teams, and begin to heal medicine from the inside out

​Why self-care must become medicine’s new standard - Podcast​: Reframing self-care as required maintenance for physicians

The long-held belief in medical culture is that self-sacrifice is noble and that self-care is an indulgence. Jessie argues that caring for oneself is not a luxury but a responsible, non-negotiable standard of care for anyone in medicine. She explains that a physician's energy is their most critical resource, and its chronic depletion leads to poor decisions, burnout, and adverse ripple effects. To change this, she introduces a robust new framework: viewing self-care not as an emergency "oxygen mask" for when things go wrong, but as the "required maintenance" that happens between flights to prevent accidents. This shift redefines rest and replenishment as foundational to safe, effective, and sustainable patient care—as essential as a surgical time-out—and calls on the medical culture to make time for it as an expectation, not an afterthought.

Physician wellness is a strategic imperative—not a moral crusade - Podcast: How to speak the language of leadership to improve doctor wellness

Physicians must shift their advocacy for well-being from a reactive, moral argument to a strategic one that aligns with institutional priorities. Jessie explains that effective change comes not from complaining, but from understanding two key things: how physicians' own training contributes to the culture of unwellness, and what leadership truly values. She provides a framework for physicians to step out of victimhood and into leadership, teaching them to "speak the language" of executives by framing wellness as a necessity for retention, financial sustainability, and high-quality patient care. This episode serves as a guide for doctors who want to stop merely enduring the system and start strategically shaping it from within.
