If you've ever rolled your eyes at the word “wellness,” same. But this week, we sat down with Dr. Jillian Horton—physician, author, speaker, and actual expert on burnout and fulfillment—to talk about what wellness actually means… and why most organizations keep getting it very, very wrong. We talk about the burnout industrial complex, how “pizza-based wellness” is hurting morale more than helping, and why fulfillment might be a better goal than happiness. Jillian also shares why young doctors are reevaluating what medicine should look like—and how calling it a “calling” is sometimes just a fancy way to underpay you. Also: medical comedy fellowship, anyone? Takeaways: What even is wellness anymore? And why does it feel like another task? Pizza is not a wellness plan. Especially if it comes with mandatory attendance. Burnout isn't your fault. But you're probably being told it is. Jillian introduces us to the Stanford Fulfillment Model—and it actually makes sense. Humor isn't just a coping tool—it's resistance, connection, and sometimes survival. — Want more Dr. Jillian Horton: Twitter / Bluesky / IG: @jillianhortonMD To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Per the Toronto Globe and Mail: "Horton is able to face the grief she's lived through -- the pain of her childhood, the loss of her disabled sister, and the guilt over

Student doctors are taught a formulaic way of “taking” patient histories and repeating their stories. Somewhere along the way, the essence of the person - and why they are seeking care in the first place - is often lost. Join author and physician Dr. Jillian Horton in conversation with noted author and storyteller Ivan Coyote as they discuss the difference between professionalism and authenticity and how medicine can begin to see its history problem - as well as its historical and systemic bias against LGBTQ2+ people - with a view to creating something better. Ivan Coyote is an author and storyteller who was born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. In 2021 Ivan will mark 27 years on the road as an international touring storyteller and musician, and release their thirteenth book, Care Of: Letters, Connections and Cures. Coyote's stories grapple with the complex and intensely personal topics of gender identity, family, class, and queer liberation, but always with a generous heart, and a quick wit. Ivan's stories manage to handle both the hilarious and the historical with reverence and compassion, and remind us all of our own fallible and imperfect humanity, while at the same time inspiring us to change the world.
