In this episode of Healing Medicine, we explore the powerful metaphor of cleaning windows as a way to gain clarity in our minds and lives. Inspired by a real-life experience of hiring professionals to clean her skylights, Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang reflects on mindfulness, yoga, and coaching as intentional practices to clear the metaphorical grime from our perspective and lens of awareness. We don't usually realize how cloudy our outlook has become until we make space for clarity. Listen to discover how letting in more light—both literally and figuratively—can transform how you see and experience life. Pearls of Wisdom: Mindfulness is Window Cleaning: Just as windows gather dirt and grime, our minds collect judgments, biases, and old stories that cloud our perspectives. Mindfulness helps clear away these mental residues, allowing us to see the present more clearly. Clarity is Kindness: Gaining clarity through mindfulness, yoga, or coaching not only benefits us but also those around us. It opens us to lightness—both in terms of illumination and the relief of mental weight. Investing in Clarity is Worth It: Often, it takes an unexpected nudge to prioritize self-care. Just as investing in professional window cleaning brings unexpected brightness, investing in personal growth yield profound shifts. Awareness Precedes Change: Often, we don't know how cloudy our mental windows have become. Practices that foster mindfulness, reveal how patterns like judgment, negative bias, or people-pleasing color our experiences. Moving from Default to Choice is Empowerment: With clearer mental windows, we gain the ability to move from habitual reactions to intentional, mindful choices that align with our values.   Reflection Questions: When was the last time you “cleaned your windows”—both literally and metaphorically? Are there thought patterns, biases, and/or assumptions clouding your perspective? What might become more beautiful and clear if you took the time to "clean your windows"? Take a step toward clarity by joining Jessie for a retreat. You'll experience practices to clear your mental and physical windows through coaching, yoga, mindfulness, and community. You'll also get to enjoy the sparkling windows!

A powerful and deeply inspiring conversation with Dr. Dawn Baker—an anesthesiologist, author, yoga teacher, coach, homesteader, and fellow mindful healer. Dawn shares her journey of pivoting from a conventional medical path to a multi-passionate, deeply aligned life grounded in freedom, purpose, and self-awareness. Her story is extraordinary and relatable, offering a roadmap for anyone longing to redefine success and live more authentically. Dawn's life took a profound turn after a serious health diagnosis during residency. What followed was a journey of healing, questioning long-held beliefs, and learning to trust herself again.  Through microsteps, mindfulness, and courage, she built a life where she practices medicine on her terms, homeschools her daughter, lives off-grid in the Utah mountains, and empowers other women physicians to live more fully through coaching, writing, and her podcast, Lean Out. Pearls of Wisdom: Clarity and alignment often come from stillness—and sometimes from unexpected crises. Creating space to know yourself again is essential to any life pivot. Redefining success based on your own values, not societal or professional expectations, is a courageous and liberating act. You can do hard things—and more importantly, you can do different things. Embracing change is a mindful act of self-trust. Locums, lifestyle design, and nonclinical work are legitimate, fulfilling, and creative ways to practice medicine and live well. Confidence and courage are not personality traits—they are skills you can grow, especially when you pause, reflect, and reframe the narrative of your life. Reflection Questions: What might you discover if you paused long enough to truly listen to yourself? What values are guiding your current version of success—and are they truly yours? How might your life shift if you approached it as the hero of your own unfolding story? Don't wait for a crisis to step into your own less ordinary life, consider working with me through mindful coaching or joining me on retreat.  These are the sacred spaces where clarity, courage, and transformation truly begin: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching and www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats. If you'd like to bring this conversation to your team or community, I would love to support you with a workshop, retreat, or talk on mindful living and leadership: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking To learn more about Dr. Dawn Baker's work, you can find her at www.practicebalance.com or follow her on Instagram @practicebalance.

This special pop-up episode is a heartfelt offering recorded the day before Tax Day. In it, I share a deeply personal and transformative journey—one that has taken me from anxiety and overwhelm to peace and even empowerment around something many of us dread: taxes. This isn't a conversation about deductions or spreadsheets. It's an invitation to explore how your experience with taxes may actually be a reflection of deeper themes—control, trust, perfectionism, scarcity, and self-worth.  I walk you through how healing my relationship with taxes became a profound act of self-compassion and alignment, and why finding neutral might just be one of the most powerful feelings available to us. May this episode support you in meeting what feels hard with grace. Pearls of Wisdom: You can be empowered without doing it all yourself. Overfunctioning is not a badge of honor. Trusting others is a courageous choice—and a practice. Financial clarity is emotional clarity. When we understand our money, we gain insight into how we align our time, energy, and values. Neutral is a win. Peace around money and taxes doesn't have to mean loving them—it means not fearing them. Calm, clarity, and presence are enough. Perfectionism doesn't bring peace. Letting go of “right vs. wrong” thinking opens space for self-compassion, connection, and better decision-making. Everything is a practice. Especially trust. Especially communication. Especially asking for help. Reflection Questions: What stories do you carry about money, taxes, or responsibility? Where are you still overfunctioning—and how might your life shift if you simply functioned? What would it feel like to soften around control or the need to be right? Could neutrality be a goal worth aiming for in your relationship with money—or anywhere else? If this episode resonates, consider joining me for coaching. We gently explore what's underneath your own areas of tension—whether it's around money, relationships, parenting, or your career.  You don't have to figure it all out on your own. www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching If you'd like to experience a healing and transformative immersion experience, join me at one of my upcoming retreats: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats To bring mindfulness, coaching, or wellbeing workshops to your group or institution, visit: www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking.  To invite Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang to speak or teach: www.awakenbreath.org Nothing shared in the Mindful Healers Podcast is medical advice.  

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

This milestone episode is a powerful and heartfelt exploration of one of the most tender and transformative topics: self-worth.  So many physicians struggle with valuing themselves, charging fairly for their services, and letting go of guilt rooted in self-sacrifice. This episode is inspired by real conversations with courageous clients and a vulnerable moment of my own It is is a call to unlearn the deeply embedded scarcity mindset that pervades our training—and to embrace sustainability, worthiness, and alignment instead. If you've ever questioned what you're allowed to charge, how to talk about your value, or whether you're worthy of being paid well for the impact you offer, this episode is for you. Pearls of Wisdom: Scarcity is medicine's default mindset—and it's unsustainable. Unlearning guilt and martyrdom opens the door to peace, passion, and possibility. When we value ourselves and our expertise, others do too. Charging fairly isn't greedy—it's grounded and essential for sustainability. Pricing isn't about market rate or insurance reimbursements. It's about alignment, reciprocity, and choosing what allows you to serve from peace. Undercharging has hidden costs: resentment, burnout, and a devaluation of your work and wisdom. You don't have to choose between helping others and honoring your worth—you can do both, intentionally and mindfully. Reflection Questions: Where do guilt and fear show up in your decisions about money, time, or value? What would change if you trusted in your impact and led from self-worth? What would peace charge? The mindful moment  will help you notice what arises when you hear conversations about money, scarcity, and value. It's an invitation to pause, breathe, and bring compassion to your experience. If this conversation resonates, know that this is the kind of deep, transformational work I do in my coaching practice and at retreats.  If you're struggling to charge what you're worth, to feel valued, or to hold boundaries from a place of alignment, I invite you to explore working with me one-on-one or in a small group. Learn more about coaching You can also join me at one of my upcoming mindful physician retreats—they are the perfect space to reconnect with your worth, realign your life and work, and build sustainable change in community.

How and why mindfulness works. It's not woo woo. There is lots of science to support its impact. Our brain is capable of change.  Mindfulness is the path.  We welcome back Dr. Ellen Cooke, radiation oncologist, mindfulness teacher and Founder of the Circle of Hope. She shares literature covering benefits of mindfulness on hormonal regulation, neurofeedback, and epigenetics – especially amongst cancer patients.   Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang shares some of the neuroscience and neuroanatomy of how mindfulness affects the brain through attention, emotion regulation, self-awareness and pain processing. A few of the points shared in today's episode. Mindfulness can lessen the perception of pain. It improves attention, self awareness, and emotional regulation. It impacts release of hormones that affect love, sleep, healing, pain, stress, your immune response and mood disorders. Mindfulness has been shown in studies to lessen stress by measurements of hormones. This episode hopefully will serve as inspiration to recommit to daily mindfulness practice as an evidence-based way to help ourselves.   Some of the articles referenced in this episode:  Tang, YY., Hölzel, B. & Posner, M.

She will explain some great practical tips for being more mindful and present in order to respond to stressful situations in a healthier way.   Ni-Cheng Liang, MD is a cancer survivor, mother, pulmonologist and mindfulness teacher who was recognized by Mindful Magazine as one of the 10 Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement 2021.

In today's episode, Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang interviews special guest, Dr. Steven Hickman, psychologist, internationally renowned mindfulness and mindful self-compassion teacher, and now author of his new book, Self-Compassion for Dummies. Steve is the Founding Executive Director of the UCSD Center for Mindfulness and is the Executive Director of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion.  The definitions of empathy, compassion, and self-compassion are covered. Self-compassion as defined by Dr. Kristin Neff, includes mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness towards self.  Steve provides insights on how self-compassion can be used to move us through the heightened stressors and difficult emotions that many, especially healthcare professionals, are experiencing currently.  He reminds us of our shared common humanity and how we can tap into that fact as a way to connect with others, even those who disagree with us.  He offers the statement from the Mindful Self-Compassion curriculum: “Everyone is on their own life journey I am not the cause of this person's suffering, nor is it entirely within my power to make it go away even though I wish I could. Moments like these can be difficult to bear, yet I may still try to help if I can.”  The Mindful Moment offering is the Self-Compassion Break, to be used in moments of difficulty.    You can get a copy of Self-Compassion for Dummies here https://bookshop.org/books/self-compassion-for-dummies/9781119796688 or at any major book seller.  For more on Mindful-Self Compassion: https://centerformsc.org And Dr. Kristin Neff's website:  https://self-compassion.org   For more mindfulness resources please join us at https://mindfulhealthcarecollective.com where we continue to provide free weekly wellness offerings.

Decisions are a fork in the road. A pivot.  Do you always want to make the “best“ decision?    Do you spend time, energy, and lots of angsty emotion weighing your options? Do you think the “best” decision is the one that has the "best" outcome?  Do decisions torment you? Mindfulness creates a clear lens of the circumstances and the actual choices.  It helps you recognize when excessive rumination is preventing a decision from being made and it allows you to recognize when a decision needs to be made. MIndful coaching offers many useful tools for more easeful decision-making. Take a listen to discover them. You can choose to have your own back and be at peace with a decision you made- no matter the outcome.   If you feel conflicted, it is normal.    "Of course" regret, doubt, conflict, fear, and anxiety, come up--because you are human. If you are struggling with decisions, mindful coaching can help you learn to implement these strategies MBSR can also help by cultivating the skill of mindfulness to clean your lens of perspective to see things as they are.  Join the  Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course with Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang and Dr. Karin Schiff that starts 9/19.  Www.awakenbreath.org.  Learn more about coaching with Dr. Mahoney at https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/jessie-mahoney-md Join a mindful coaching and yoga retreat amidst the wildflowers.

Title 36. Kindness Is The Answer You are worth the same kindness you give to others. The current pandemic is a radical opportunity to choose to show up with kindness- for ourselves and others. From a place of kindness to self, so much more is possible. Being kind to yourself is kind and is so much better than being mean to yourself. True kindness to self always ultimately leads to more efficiency, productivity, and possibility. Your relationship with yourself is your most important relationship.  It impacts all of your other relationships.  Nurture it. Grow it. Heal it.   When and where are you unkind to yourself? Who would you be, could you be, if you stopped being unkind to yourself? Could you treat yourself like you do others? What would you tell a friend or colleague if they were in the same situation? In difficult circumstances, can you ask yourself, “What would kindness do?” What is one thing you could do to be kind to yourself today? What if you committed to doing one random act of kindness for someone else? As an act of kindness, learn the skill of mindfulness in an in-depth way.

The more you give the more you receive.  In honor of National Physician's Week and the one-year anniversary of the Mindful Healthcare Collective, this episode is both a celebration and a chance to learn.  One year ago, the Mindful Healthcare Collective was formed urgently at the outset of the pandemic to support those working in healthcare through this tragically difficult time.  Over the past year, it has blossomed into so much more. The Mindful Healthcare Collective is now a vibrant community of over 2100 healthcare professionals from across the country and the world who are coming together to heal themselves, learn, grow and support one another through the challenges of working in healthcare at this moment. The Mindful Healers Podcast is an offshoot of the Mindful Healthcare Collective as is the Mindful Healing Collective.  The Mindful Healing Collective is a group for those who do not work in healthcare but who would also like to discover the beauty and freedom from suffering that comes from choosing to live a more mindful and intentional life.  Wisdom and tips for mindful living shared in this episode: Be open to new things Start where you are Pause, be present and notice. Be curious and follow clues. Don't forget about your body sensations. Start with something simple and be consistent. Practice and keep showing up. Prioritize rest, quiet, and dark. Work to grow self-acceptance and self-compassion.  Weave in mindfulness where you can. Why join us in the Mindful Healthcare Collective? It's a haven and a refuge. A place to send love and support to our colleagues in medicine. A place to belong, find a diverse and inclusive community, and connection. It's a place to connect with your purpose and discover shared experiences. And a welcoming space where you can show up as you are and be seen and heard. We would love for you to join us.  There is so much healing, recovery, and needed transformation still ahead for all of us.
