I so loved this podcast conversation with Saba Fatima, a pediatrician I had the joy of getting to know through the Columbia University Narrative Medicine certification program. Our shared love of pediatrics, storytelling and preserving humanity in healthcare really bonded us as we dove into this conversation about professional grief, for her incredible new podcast, Muted in Medicine.

We touched on some of the following, and so much more:
– Healthcare culture and the battle for permission to be humans who grieve, not just robots who perform
– Professional grief includes the uncomfortable adjustment of our perspective on life, and the surprising beauty of still showing up for all of it
– How boundaries can grow when we allow grief a voice in the room

We need to have open, honest, and still hopeful conversations about all of this. Please give this a listen and share!
