Clinician, Heal Thyself
Podcast
Soul care for those in healthcare. Short, practical encouragement for the people who spend their lives caring for everyone else, hosted by Vaughn Kohler.
Healthcare can take a toll on more than your schedule.
It can affect your energy, relationships, sense of purpose, and the person you're becoming. Each week I explore burnout, boundaries, purpose, relationships, leadership, fear, identity, and the inner work of becoming healthier and stronger.
