The Relationship of Suffering & Mindfulness in Healthcare with Dr. Charisse Johnson

The Relationship of Suffering & Mindfulness in Health Care

In this episode of THE GO REFLECT YOURSELF PODCAST we will explore with Dr. Charisse Johnson, Associate Dean of Experiential & Continuing Professional Education and Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice at Chicago State University College of Pharmacy (CSU COP), the impact of connected suffering: how awareness from mindfulness can help reduce stress, overcome challenges, and have more connectedness.

Growing personally and professionally is often hard to do, especially both at the same time AND especially when life’s bumpy road becomes bumpier than you plan for.   

How do you respond?  How do you connect with yourself and your suffering? How do you understand what suffering is all about, without judgment or shame? 

The conversation I had with Charisse Johnson is an extra honest look at how we respond to life and how our personal lives do in fact affect our professional lives and vice versa. 

Charisse is extremely candid in this conversation and helps guide our perspective of how to approach personal and professional growth through the lens of connecting to our own suffering. 

Our conversation leads to how mindfulness helps gain the confidence to connect to these skills and how mindfulness has aided in certain areas, especially healthcare.

I’ve spent a career helping business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs learn the skills needed to discover their inner brilliance, and that’s how Go Reflect Yourself was born…my goal is to help as many as possible learn the necessary skills to achieve ultimate fulfillment and well-being, becoming you are meant to be.
