    Running for Congress: Tina Shah on How To Save Ourselves and Our Country
    Jan 28 2026
    In this episode I meet up with Tina Shah MD MPH, a triple board-certified physician in internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, and critical care who is running for Congress in New Jersey's seventh district. We dive deep into Tina's journey from White House Fellow, to working with Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to ICU doctor to congressional candidate, exploring how physician burnout, healthcare affordability, and insurance company barriers to care drove her to pursue systemic change at the policy level. Tina shares powerful patient stories—including her own mother's cardiac care denial and a diabetic patient's life-threatening hospitalization due to medication rationing—that illustrate why doctors need a seat at the table in Congress. We discuss civic health, the misinformation epidemic, healthcare workforce crisis, and how she successfully led a grassroots movement that defeated the insurance lobby in New Jersey to protect patients from prior authorization denials.

    It’s Our Turn: Thomas Fisher on Why He’s Running for Congress in Chicago Illinois
    Jan 14 2026
    In this episode I speak with Dr. Thomas Fisher, an emergency medicine physician and Chicago Illinois congressional candidate. We discuss the profound impact of the pandemic on healthcare, the intimate relationships formed in emergency medicine, and the motivations behind Dr. Fisher's run for Congress. The conversation delves into the importance of moral leadership, social determinants of health, and the role of physicians in civic engagement. Dr. Fisher emphasizes the need for active participation in shaping healthcare policies. Conversation highlights
    • The writing of his 2022 book The Emergency as a cathartic process during the pandemic.
    • Emergency medicine provides a unique perspective on humanity and vulnerability.
    • Social determinants of health are crucial for understanding patient care: the healthcare system often penalizes poverty.
    • Hope can be found in collective action and community support: it's important to take risks and step out of comfort zones for change.

  • Rewriting Your Story with Jillian Johnsrud: Mini-Retirements and Breaking the Burnout Cycle

    Rewriting Your Story with Jillian Johnsrud: Mini-Retirements and Breaking the Burnout Cycle
    Dec 24 2025
    In this episode, Dr. Resa E. Lewiss speaks with Jillian Johnsrud, author of Retire Often and mini-retirement coach, about taking intentional career breaks to combat burnout and realign with what matters most. Jillian defines mini-retirements as breaks of a month or longer where professionals step away from their primary career to focus on recovery, adventure, or family time. She works primarily with high-achieving professionals who have over-indexed on career advancement while under-indexing on lifestyle and wellbeing. The conversation explores the unique challenges facing healthcare professionals, including a dangerous cultural narrative instilled during medical training that physicians must suffer, lack agency, and simply endure. This programming makes it extraordinarily difficult for doctors to prioritize their own health and take necessary breaks.
