Absolutely thrilled to know Dr. Lisa is sharing her knowledge and personal experience with other medical families. Her grace and wisdom in delivering information focused on challenging stressors is inspiring.
This podcast is something I wish had been available when my husband and I were starting our “ medical journey.” We are getting prepared for retirement and have experienced many of these trials and tribulations. Dr. Lisa’s research and insights are spot on and can be a real benefit for any couple as they navigate life together.
Dr. Muehlenbein provides sound and sustaining explanations and solutions to the challenges, opportunities and unique experiences of medical families. Her focus on balance, resilience and maintaining wellness on all levels encourages physicians and their spouses to be at their highest and best. This translates into optimum patient care and happy, harmonious family lives. Thank you, Dr. Muehlenbein, for your sage insight and thoughtful approach!
Lisa is a great interviewer and has such interesting perspectives and guests to share on this topic. She also has a very soothing voice!
The Med/Life Support Podcast is one that’s really needed. It does a great job of talking about the real struggles that medical relationships and families go through, while keeping the focus on hope, research, resilience, and finding a way forward. There’s no “poor me” mindset here, just honest conversations about how we struggle, grow, and come out stronger on the other side.
Dr. Muehlenbein’s podcast is a breath of fresh air! Finally, a conversation where the complexities of medical families and life are acknowledged and wonderful solutions are being offered. Thank you for this wonderful resource!
I listened to the entire initial series in two segments. Such powerful research based themes that as a retired physician and now physician, leadership, coach, are so pertinent to helping heal medicine as it now stands, which is much more than in the past.
Dr. Lisa finally names all those emotions, feelings, and challenges in medical marriages and relationships. A great listen for anyone in healthcare or knows or loves someone in healthcare.
