My guest in this episode is Dr Emily Amos, a general practitioner and a passionate educator on mindfulness in Melbourne.
Emily might not be an intensivist but she is a doctor with a powerful burnout story that led to her becoming an enthusiastic guide and teacher about mindfulness and self care. Emily has roles as a GP, a surgical assistant, a lactation consultant, a yoga teacher, a university tutor and a registered mindfulness meditation teacher. Her business, Whole Hearted Medicine, runs mindfulness & self care retreats for doctors. These immersive, CPD approved retreats offer doctors the chance to learn skills in mindfulness, meditation and self compassion away from both work and family pressures. Emily also blogs, speaks, podcasts, runs workshops, and offers several courses through her website www.dremilyamos.com.
Emily provides excellent perspectives on burnout, wellbeing, mindfulness, stress management, life balance and psychological safety. On this episode, Emily openly shares her vivid recollection of the day her life fell apart, what she discovered about herself during her recovery, and, most importantly, how this fuelled her subsequent drive to guide and support people, including doctors, through mindfulness-based self care.
Thank you for listening to Dr Emily Amos.
