  • Performance Improvement Analyst

    This was my first time listening to this podcast (I listened to the one with Chris Van Gorder) and it was very real and very relevant to the health care industry and where we are at today. I came across Laurie's podcast and actually listened to her speak at ACHE's Congress several years ago before graduating college. She is a wonderful speaker! Definitely will continue listening to this!

  • Leadership guidebook

    Laurie’s thoughtful Podcasts function like a guidebook for leaders. Like all things worthwhile, the lessons and suggestions can be challenging but the support and belief in the self-made leader shines through and boosts you forward in the way a truly seasoned coach knows how to do. Her genuine passion for coaching leaders is inspiring and keeps me coming back for more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Unspoken Side of Grief: What We Get Wrong, and How to Show Up Better with Dr. Joann Schaefer
Q: But tell us a little bit about this book. What inspired you to write it?
The author describes personal loss, including the murder of her best friend, and years of clinical experience watching how grief is spoken about (or not spoken about). This inspired a multifaceted exploration of different types of loss and the everyday ways people wish to be understood and supported.
No One Is Coming to Save You: Reinventing a Medical Career with Dr. Naomi Lawrence-Reid
Q: What practical steps can a physician take to pivot without a huge risk?
Start small with per diem/part-time clinical work, then explore locums, medical writing, expert witness work, and VA disability evaluations to create a diversified portfolio that preserves medical skills while expanding income and autonomy.
No One Is Coming to Save You: Reinventing a Medical Career with Dr. Naomi Lawrence-Reid
Q: What sparked your pivot away from full-time clinical medicine?
An unfulfilling salary and ceiling in the ER, plus a defining moment with a broken chair and the realization that no one was coming to save me, led to resignation and a search for freedom and flexibility.
No One Is Coming to Save You: Reinventing a Medical Career with Dr. Naomi Lawrence-Reid
Q: What was your original vision of your medical career?
I did not have an entrepreneurial vision; I expected a traditional trajectory in pediatrics and ER, with gradual advancement but eventually realized that path wasn't fulfilling, pushing me to explore autonomy and non-clinical work.
If I Don’t Return: Mark Hertling on Legacy, Leadership, and Living Well
Q: How did journaling during combat evolve into a book about leadership and life?
Hertling describes how daily journals written for his sons during Desert Storm evolved into a broader reflection on leadership, culture, and family, then expanded decades later to reveal broader lessons for readers about resilience, planning, and mentorship.
