In this deeply human episode, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with cardiac surgeon, scientist, and writer Dr. Paul Fedak for an honest look at the hidden cost of excellence in medicine. Dr. Fedak shares the story of the injury that forced him out of the operating room and into a profound reckoning with identity, purpose, and the culture of silence that surrounds clinician suffering.Drawing from years as Professor at the University of Calgary and Director of the Libin Cardiovascular Institute, he unpacks why perfectionism is so common in medical training, how surgeons learn to mask pain behind composure, and why emotional detachment has long been mistaken for professionalism. Together they explore the unseen burden clinicians carry, the pressure to perform without pause, and the moments when the mask finally cracks.Dr. Fedak speaks candidly about ego death, vulnerability, and rebuilding a life after losing the work that once defined him. He describes the colleagues who opened up only after he shared his own story, highlighting how connection and honesty can transform a profession built on quiet endurance.This episode examines the human side of medicine that rarely makes it into textbooks. Identity. Injury. Recovery. Presence. What it means to care for others while trying to stay whole yourself.A moving conversation for anyone in healthcare or anyone who has ever struggled with the weight of impossible expectations.Paul Fedak, MD, PhD's website : paulfedak.comEpisode Takeaways1. Surgeons are trained to push through pain, not acknowledge it.Medical culture rewards resilience and persistence, but that same conditioning prevents clinicians from recognizing and responding to their own injuries.2. Perfectionism is wired into medical training.Traits like list making, obsessive task completion, and performance under observation are common in medicine and often go unexamined despite their psychological cost.3. The mask of competence becomes automatic.Clinicians become so skilled at hiding distress that even close colleagues fail to notice warning signs. This silence leaves suffering invisible.4. Vulnerability creates connection and protects lives.When Dr. Fedak shared his story, dozens of peers came forward with their own hidden experiences. Openness is not weakness. It is safety.5. Ergonomic injuries in surgery are far more common than most people realize.The physical demands of operating are intense, yet surgeons lack the protections that other healthcare workers receive.6. Leadership shows the true burden physicians carry.Once in leadership roles, clinicians see the depth of burnout, fear, and quiet endurance happening behind the scenes.7. Losing the identity of “surgeon” creates an existential crisis.Stepping out of the operating room forced a complete reevaluation of purpose, ego, and self worth.8. Technical excellence is not the full measure of a doctor.Relational skill, empathy, presence, and human connection matter just as much as procedural skill.9. Medicine needs protected space for reflection.Without pause and presence, clinicians lose touch with themselves and the people they care for. Healing requires time, community, and grounding.10. System structures shape clinician wellbeing.The fee for service model rewards quantity over recovery, creating pressures that make self care feel impossible.11. Paying clinicians to care for themselves could change outcomes.If mental health visits, ergonomic care, and recovery time were compensated, more clinicians would seek help early.Episode Timestamps07:10 How one surgeon's work related injury forced a career pivot and a deeper conversation about wellbeing.08:25 The secret stories colleagues shared only after Paul opened up about his own suffering.10:30 Independent contractor status and why doctors lack the ergonomic protections nurses receive.13:00 The unseen emotional toll behind surgical careers and what leadership reveals about clinician suffering.16:00 Training teaches perseverance, but injury demands honesty. The conflict surgeons are never taught to navigate.17:28 Medical trainees and perfectionism. Why obsessive traits are six times more common in medicine.19:10 When the mask becomes permanent. How clinicians hide distress even from each other.20:00 Two tragic losses and the lessons Paul learned about checking in with colleagues.22:00 Vulnerability as leadership. Why sharing your story opens the door for others to heal.28:57 Did speaking out come with professional risks. What changed when Paul stopped protecting his own ego.31:55 Losing the identity of “surgeon.” The ego death that followed leaving the operating room.33:40 Beyond technical mastery. Why excellence must include human connection, empathy, and presence.34:46 How medicine can “create space” for reflection, grounding, and real conversations.37:50 The hidden financial pressures behind surgical work and how billing shapes clinician behavior.DISCLAMER >>>>>> The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

This episode feels like such a full-circle moment for me, because I'm sharing a story I've carried quietly (and honestly, with a bit of shame) for years.For so long, I told myself it was a failure. Something to tuck away. Something I didn't want anyone to know.But now… I see it differently.I see it as the moment my life cracked open.In this conversation, I take you back to a season where everything looked “successful” on the outside, but inside I felt deeply unfulfilled. Drained. Misaligned.And then, the opportunity that felt like a divine wink. A tap on the shoulder. The work I had been craving: purpose-led leadership and building meaningful cultures.But the startup I joined didn't work.We couldn't secure clients.The vision couldn't sustain itself.And for a long time, I carried the belief that I had failed.What I now realise is that this “failure” was the seed of the business I lead today.The fire I feel for purpose, team culture, meaningful work... all of it was birthed there.Inside this episode, I share:The moment I realised I had built the exact business I thought was lostWhy “failure” is usually a re-route, not an endingHow purpose became my compass during one of the darkest seasons of my lifeThe quiet but powerful moment that sparked my awakeningWhat it means to take tiny, brave baby steps even when you feel scared, naïve, or not readyWhy no one else gets to decide whether your dreams are allowedHow to reclaim the fire inside you when someone else's decision pulls the rug out from under youThis story is honest. Personal. Vulnerable.And I hope, more than anything, it gives you permission to keep going even if the path twists in ways you never expected.

We are glad to bring you a repeat of our most popular ever episode "Always Be Vulnerable to All That You Are) from October 2021. We were unexpectedly interrupted for this week's live recording but will be back next week. When we learn to include more and more of ourselves, we also become more able to include more and more of one another. Being able to do this - to welcome that in us that's fearful, ashamed or lonely, as well as what's joyful, grateful and love-filled - is greatly helped by finding the bigger-something that we are... the something of us that's wide and deep, curious and compassionate and which is, essentially, welcome. And that's something we can also help one another with. This week's Turning Towards Life is a conversation about how 'inclusivity' starts with us and between us, hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. This is Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living.

When people think of foster care, it's typically assumed that it ends at age 18 when a child ages out of care. However, that is not the case in most states. Nearly every state offers federally funded programs to extend foster care beyond 18 years.This is what is known as extended foster care, and it includes programs like continued care with foster parents and independent living situations. Our guest for this episode is deeply familiar with these programs as she oversees them for Texas.Alina White is the State Office Extended Foster Care and Supervised Independent Living (SIL) Program Lead at the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). Since joining the department in 2012, she has served in multiple roles supporting youth and young adults transitioning out of foster care. Alina is passionate about improving services and programs that help young people successfully navigate adulthood.In this episode, Alina shares the importance of youth being informed about extended foster care options, ways we can support those in extended foster care even if we aren't foster parents ourselves, common misconceptions about individuals who are involved in extended foster care, and much more.Find the show notes and links to anything we discussed here: https://riversideproject.org/podcast/alina-white-44

Ireland's Exposed Western Flank and Europe's Ukraine Stance — Judy Dempsey — Dempsey examines how Ireland's steadfast neutrality and limited defense capabilities leave its critical undersea communication cables vulnerable to Russian eavesdropping and potential sabotage. Despite maintaining budget surpluses, Ireland prioritizes social issues, including housing, over defense investments. Dempsey notes that European powers view the U.S.-Russia peace proposal for Ukraine with skepticism, characterizing it as a "Russian wish list," while German leadership remains publicly committed to sustained Ukrainian military support. 1896 COUNTY KILDARE

The passing of omnibus Bill 60, also known as the 'Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act' has caused a fury of backlash across the province of Ontario, including tenant and housing advocacy groups.The new bill, which was fast-tracked through the legislature, removes barriers to allow landlords to evict tenants if they're late on rent or if they're not paying their total. Many critics say this will worsen the homelessness crisis, especially during the upcoming winter months.However, Housing Minister Rob Flack says it's about restoring balance within the housing system, rejecting claims that this will put people out of housing. Instead, he says the bill will help expedite bills.Host Richard Southern speaks to Marc Davignon, Ontario ACORN Tenant Leader to talk about his experience getting kicked out of the Ontario legislature on Monday, and how he believes the new bill will affect the most vulnerable across the province.

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Mühlethaler welcomes Tijana Tamburic, a storyteller, creative director and co-founder of Female Narratives. After a decade as a model combined with a UCL history degree and experience in publishing and editorial roles, she co-founded Female Narratives to disrupt the outdated advertising industry. Named Forbes 30 Under 30 for Media & Marketing (and later serving as a judge), Tijana has worked on creative campaigns for brands like Bumble, BBC Studios and Allbirds, helping them tell real human stories. She's also the host of The Slow Down podcast and a board advisor for social enterprise OK MENTOR.Anne discovered Tijana through The Slow Down, which offers what Tijana calls the career advice she never got in her twenties, aka conversations with people who've redefined success beyond hustle culture. Tijana shares her journey from arriving in London as an 18-month-old Serbian immigrant to being raised for autonomy by hardworking parents. She candidly discusses her teenage antics, keeping her modeling career at arm's length, staying in education, and initially hiding her avant-garde editorial modeling work from friends.She tells Anne about her Burning Man transformation, meeting her future business partner on a flight to Ibiza, and her first ayahuasca ceremony, noting how these experiences introduced her to patient, graceful women who helped her step into her feminine energy after years of operating from a masculine, confrontational stance.This shift led to founding Female Narratives, which initially got swept up in girl boss culture's demands to scale and sell. After two years on this path, Tijana and her co-founder had a crucial conversation about what kind of life they actually wanted. They worked backwards to design a boutique agency requiring a handful of projects yearly to meet their goals, allowing them to be selective about clients and maintain work-life balance.Tijana reflects on her relationship with her archetypal masculine mother, a Serbian pharmacist who became a professor at London College of Fashion. The conversation also explores Tijana's past addiction to stress, her journey through burnout, and her ongoing practice of stepping into feminine energy through active listening and moving from scarcity to abundance mindset. A candid conversation about building a business that serves your life, balancing masculine and feminine energies, and why vulnerable conversations are gifts that help us feel seen and understood.Selected links from episode:The Female Narratives website The Slow Down podcastTijana's Instagram: @tamburicTijana's TEDx Bucharest talk titled ‘When my masculine met my feminine'Heart Diffraction Glasses (as featured at Burning Man)The Whisperers by Orlando FigesJulia AstokEsther Perel on autonomy vs loyaltyVisit our website Out of the Clouds : https://outoftheclouds.com/Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_outofthecloudsAnne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annvi/Anne on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/annvi.bsky.socialAnne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-v-muhlethaler/Please subscribe and leave us a review ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, host Eve Hall sits down once again with Sean Shutt and Amanda Courier of the Touchy Subjects Podcast for a powerful and eye-opening conversation about human trafficking awareness and prevention. Together, they dive deep into the realities of sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and the systems that put vulnerable individuals at risk. Sean and Amanda break down common myths about human trafficking, clarify what trafficking actually looks like in the U.S., and explain how predators use online grooming tactics to target youth. The discussion also sheds light on high-risk populations, including runaway and homeless youth, LGBTQ+ individuals, foster-involved teens, and marginalized communities.

I le Luka 18:9-14, na faamatala e Iesu le tala o tamaloloa e toalua na o i le malumalu e tatalo. O le tasi na faalialia vaega ua ia ausia i luma o le Atua peitai e lei tauamiotonuina.

A e iai i le mamalu o le Atua, e tatau ona e loto matala i le Atua ma talanoa ia te ia i ou vaivaiga, o faafitauli, lagona ma vaega o loo nunumi ia te oe. E iai le eseesega o le talanoa ma le tatalo. O le tatalo o le ole atu mo se fesoasoani ae o le talanoa o le faapea atu, “ Le Alii e, o au lenei. Ua maea ona ou faataitaia le laasaga lea ma lea laasaga. O le a le mea ou te faia?” Afai e te alu atu i le tulaga lea i le tatalo, o le a amata ona ia a'oa'o atu ia te oe mea e lē iloa e isi tagata. O loo lapatai mai i tatou i le Faataoto 3:7 ia aua nei o tatou faafiapopoto. O nisi tagata e ole atu mo le taitaiga ae ua maea ona faia faaiuga i le mea e tatau ona fai. O nisi tagata ua le fia faalogo ini fautuaga peitai o loo saili ia nā o le ioe atu iai o le Atua ia latou faaiuga. O tagata e o mai faapea i le Atua, e lē taitai ona latou maua se mea mai ia te ia aua latou te manatu e sili atu mea latou te iloa nai lō le Atua. E manatu faamaualuga e tuuina atu o latou manatu ma fuafuaga i ona luma ma faalogo i ana faatonuga.

Have you ever been vulnerable with your clients? In this episode of The Financial Coaches Podcast, Cody and Maria share why it is important to be vulnerable with your clients about even some of your financial struggles, and how they can get a ton of value from that and it can deepen and enrich your relationship with them.

Notes Luke 21:5-19 Isaiah 65:17-25 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy explore the themes of apocalyptic literature, the signs of the times as presented in Luke 21, and the hopeful message of Isaiah 65. They discuss the importance of community, faithfulness, and the ongoing work of God in creating a new heaven and earth, while also addressing the challenges of undisciplined lives as mentioned in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation emphasizes the need for hope and action in the face of adversity, encouraging listeners to participate in God's work of justice and renewal. Takeaways The destruction of the temple is a significant event in the Gospels. Apocalyptic literature often arises in times of despair and upheaval. Jesus' prophecy offers a radical reinterpretation of destruction as fulfillment of God's plan. God's faithfulness remains despite signs of disaster and destruction. Isaiah 65 presents a vision of hope and renewal for the future. The ongoing creation of a new heaven and earth is a present reality. Community building and justice are essential in participating in God's kingdom. The message of 2 Thessalonians addresses the importance of work and responsibility. Faithfulness is required in the midst of societal challenges. Love and compassion should guide our interactions with those who struggle.
