| 299: [UNICORN] A Revolutionary Approach to Optimizing Fertility | 16 Jan 2025 | 00:38:49 | |
Jessica Boone, the visionary infertility Physician Assistant turned CEO of Fortitude Fertility Consulting, is my guest on the podcast today. Jessica is redefining the journey to parenthood with her unique blend of expertise, empathy, and empowerment. At the core of Jessica's practice is a revolutionary couple-focused approach, offering a personalized concierge experience that combines one-on-one fertility consulting with transformative online fertility courses. By integrating evidence-based strategies and holistic practices, Jessica’s approach to optimizing fertility is designed to restore hope, promote healing, and ensure that every step taken is a step closer to achieving the dream of parenthood. On today’s episode, Jessica describes how infertility is not a stand-alone diagnosis, but a symptom. As medical providers, we need to dive deeper into discovering what is causing fertility struggles. Jessica also discusses how to optimize fertility (whether or not you have infertility struggles) and what every medical provider (regardless of specialty) needs to know about infertility. Tune in today to learn how Jessica is redefining fertility care.

| 289: [UNICORN] How to be a Healthier and Happier PA | 07 Nov 2024 | 00:25:52 | |
In PA school we learned the first treatment to almost every disease is lifestyle modifications. But why do we wait until a patient receives a diagnosis instead of being proactive about starting lifestyle modifications earlier? How do we actually help patients follow through with making effective lifestyle modifications? What do we do if we know we need to make changes in our own lifestyles? My guest today is here to answer these questions and more! Dr. Jennifer Harrington is a PA with 25 years of experience and has held pivotal roles in professional leadership, advocacy, and PA education. She worked in rural medicine for many years and is now a PA program director, following her passion for education. She also runs her own non-profit, Called to Serve, organizing medical missions trips. Dr. Harrington shares how she was able to prevent burnout by creating routines and habits that focus on nutrition and quality self care. In order to effectively carry out her several roles and responsibilities, Dr. Harrington discusses how she learned the importance of taking care of herself so that she can better take care of others. Do you want to learn the keys of how to become a happier and healthier PA? Tune into today’s episode to learn what you can start implementing today!

I figured out what we are missing in healthcare. Culturally we’ve gotten it wrong in recent years. The missing ingredient: humanity.

| 215: [LIFE] The Anatomy of a Healthy Boundary | 13 Jul 2023 | 00:27:31 | |
How do I set boundaries with work? I believe that boundary setting should be a clinical skill. We need to be able to set boundaries to have sustainable careers in healthcare. Why don’t we learn how to set a heathy boundary in PA school? Boundaries are necessary for living a life that feels good, aligns with our values, and setting boundaries is crucial for finding a way to thrive while practicing medicine clinically. Boundaries are limits, policies, and guidelines of how we run our lives. They dictate what we say yes to and where we reply with no. Boundaries are so important for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.

| 214: [PA] Screw the Clinical Leadership Ladder, It’s a Jungle Gym in Healthcare Now | 06 Jul 2023 | 00:27:15 | |
There are many ways, including but not limited to, clinical leadership as a Physician Assistant (PA), to create a fulfilling and sustainable career in healthcare. The idea of a leadership ladder, that is linear, one step at a time, is not the only path to success in medicine. Today we are going to redefine that corporate ladder as the jungle gym that it is. No longer are careers in healthcare something where you start at the “bottom” and work your way up into leadership clinically and then eventually into administration. There is a way to create a career that compensates you generously where you are working clinically. Press play to find out how.

Becoming a PA is an all-consuming quest. But it can cause us to wrap up our identity in our career and forget about who we are as human beings. How do you define yourself? Do you have an identity outside of your job? Press play on this episode to hear from my dear friend, Brie Marks, on how it can be easy to lose yourself in your career. And when life happens and jobs change, how do you define yourself?

As PAs, we have been called to medicine and caring for patients. But our worth is not solely defined by our careers. We are whole people outside of medicine that deserve fulfillment.

| 191: [LIFE] Curious How to Complete the Stress Cycle? 7 Things to Try | 13 Apr 2023 | 00:31:57 | |
Stressors exist. Burnout results from consistent stress that overwhelms your body’s ability to cope. Stress like a full inbox, an inbasket of test results, a heavy diagnosis or a sick patient is part of what it means to work in medicine. Are you effectively completing the stress cycle in your life? Most PAs aren’t. Most healthcare “heroes” are fighting a villain that no one can see: stressors. Addressing the stressors: cleaning out your inbox, having that difficult conversation with a patient doesn’t help if you don’t work to deal with the stress in your body and in your mind. In this episode, I’ll share 7 techniques to complete the stress cycle, how to use them, and when you need them. We will unpack the stressors, what the stress cycle is and how to stop getting stuck in the middle of your stress cycle. Being stuck in the tunnel of stress leads to burnout. Learn how to speak the language of your body. Your body doesn’t speak English – it speaks body language. Understanding how to tune in to the signals your body is sending you and working your way through that stress cycle is key to avoiding burnout or recovering from burnout.

During her 17-year career as a PA, Ilaina Moyer has made many shifts, realizations and changes in her path. From emergency medicine to plastic surgery and shifting between inpatient, to academia, to outpatient and back into the hospital, these pivots were all to get to a schedule that worked for Ilaina and her family. In this conversation, Ilaina shares what happens when you start to take these chances, starting before you are ready, and leaning into the unknown as you practice medicine. Mentorship and leadership are huge parts of what her career has grown into and being diligent about being the mentor she wished she had earlier in her career is a key piece of Iliana’s core values and career. You are not going to want to miss this conversation, it’s like sitting down over coffee with a mentor you might not have in real life. Tearing down gatekeeping, labeling and segmenting each other in medicine will improve the healthcare system and culture across your organization and healthcare in general.

What could you do if you felt passionate and purposeful in your life and career again? If that’s not how you are feeling right now, you are not alone. Studies show that over 60% of healthcare providers report current symptoms of burnout. Burnout, caused by prolonged or excessive stress that overwhelms your ability to cope. In 2020 in the midst of working inpatient Urology during the COVID-19 pandemic, I hit absolute rock bottom personally and professionally. I wasn’t the mom, wife, PA or human being I wanted to be. I was embarrassed at the way that I was showing up in the world. I was a shell of the former Tracy. I want to encourage other PAs to tune out the voices telling you that burnout is normal and you have to sacrifice your own mental and physical health at the altar of a healthcare system that won’t love you back.
