You’ve tried meditation, signed up for yoga classes, and reduced your work hours. You’re doing all the “right” things to manage your stress, but why do you still feel so drained? In this episode, Julie explores why a mind–body–heart approach to stress management and well-being is especially important for healthcare professionals. Drawing from her experience as a pharmacist and coach, she breaks down how stress shows up across our thoughts, body, and emotional world — and why addressing only one of these pillars often isn’t enough for clinicians. In this conversation, you’ll learn how to support your whole system so you can practice healthcare in a way that feels more sustainable, grounded, and aligned. You’ll leave with practical reflections and simple tools you can begin using right away, even during busy clinical days.
