The Integrative Palliative Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, Katie Joy Duke (@katiejoyduke) shares her wisdom as a woman and life coach who experienced treatment for stage IV breast cancer. She shares the tough parts and the growth parts, including her decision to pursue an aesthetic flat closure rather than breast reconstruction.

She is open and engaging and wise. I know you'll love learning from her.

You can find information about her coaching practice, book, and speaking at www.katiejoyduke.com.

I'm glad you're here!

We create much of our own suffering, and I suggest that we all cut that out! Life sends us enough stress and challenge - why would we add to our suffering for now good reason?

Expectations can add to our suffering. 

Learning to modulate your expectations allows you to stay in the moment and enjoy your experiences, your people, and your moments.

Holidays are packed with expectations which can turn happy times into frustrating times - but it doesn't have to be that way.

Have a listen and share with a friend.

I appreciate you,

Life is BUSY! There is so much to do and I know you wish that you had just a few more hours in every day. 

The surprising truth is that you may be inadvertently making your time issues worse than they need to be. In this week's episode of the integrative palliative podcast, we'll discuss three of those ways - I know you'll see yourself in at least one of them. 

We can only fix what we know is there.

Life can be hard.

When our "cup" is empty hard things are harder. And when our "cup" is full, life is simply easier. This week you'll learn a simple but powerful technique for figuring out how to fill your unique "cup," and once you practice it for yourself you will have a powerful tool to use with your patients. 

This technique is especially valuable for patients with distressing symptoms that don't seem to have a quick fix or a magic pill. Try it for you and then try it at work!

We all know that there is a tension between being the empathetic physician that you want to be and getting your charts done so you don't stay at the office until 9pm. We also know that patients hate it when their doctor never looks up from the computer. 

Is there anything we can do?

We can't get rid of RVUs or fix the whole healthcare system (at least not today), but there are a few very effective techniques for fostering connection with our patients without upending our whole schedule. 

Here are six techniques that will supercharge your connection with your patients without adding time to your visits.
