It’s Halloween week — and this conversation takes the mask off what “sustainability” in healthcare really means.

In this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast, I sit down with Brittany Cox, MA, RDH — a sustainable systems strategist and emerging policy architect leading healthcare into a planet-first future. With a Master’s in Oral Health Promotion and advanced training in leadership and coaching, Brittany bridges clinical insight with environmental innovation to help organizations build systems that work — for people, the planet, and the future.

Together, we dig into:

• What’s hiding behind the buzzwords of sustainability
• How ethics, waste, and policy intersect in modern healthcare
• Why true sustainability starts with systems, not slogans
• How advocacy and accountability create long-term impact

Brittany’s approach blends evidence-based strategy with deeply ethical leadership — proving that sustainability isn’t just about compliance or optics. It’s about reimagining how care is delivered, and who it’s designed to serve.

Alright, podcasters—that’s a wrap on this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast! If you got something out of today’s convo, do me a favor—share it, tag us, and keep the conversation going.

Remember, entrepreneurship isn’t just about the grind—it’s about the growth. Stay bold, stay human, and keep pushing the limits.

Catch you next time. Until then—keep it psycho.

The conversation that started in Hygiene Unchained isn’t finished — it’s evolved.

In the Season 5 premiere of The Chief Psycho Podcast, Derik J. Sven returns to take the gloves off again. A 20-year veteran clinician, author, and reformer, Derik brings clarity, courage, and conviction to the fight for hygiene autonomy and public-health reform.

This time, we go deeper into:

• The real-world impact of restrictive supervision laws
• Why autonomy is the key to solving the hygiene shortage
• How policy and profit still dictate access to care
• What it looks like to build systems that actually serve people

Derik’s not here to make noise — he’s here to make change.

Hygiene Unbound is more than a conversation; it’s the continuation of a movement.

We’ve been told that “work-life balance” is the key to happiness. But what if that’s a myth?

To close out Season 4 of The Chief Psycho Podcast and I/O Psychology Awareness Month, I sat down with Dr. Kelly Reburn — an Industrial-Organizational Psychologist, leadership coach, and CEO of The IO Psych Group (@theiopsych). With over a decade of experience driving culture and leadership initiatives, Kelly helps organizations and leaders cut through the noise and focus on what really matters: people.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What burnout actually looks like (and what to do about it)
• Why “success on paper” often still feels empty
• The myth of work-life balance
• How leaders can create cultures that support actual humans, not just output

Kelly brings science, heart, and strategy to the conversation — making this the perfect way to wrap up Season 4.
