The Mindful Practice Podcast
Conversations on burnout, career reinvention, leadership, and sustainable success in medicine.
Medicine trains physicians to push through—but rarely to pause.
The Mindful Practice Podcast, hosted by Dr. Bertina M. Hooks, creates space for physicians to reflect, recalibrate, and rethink what success can look like beyond constant productivity.
Through solo episodes and thoughtful conversations with guests, this podcast explores the realities of modern medical careers—and the courage it takes to evolve them.
This is not about leaving medicine impulsively.
It’s about practicing with intention, clarity, and sustainability.
