In this episode of The Doc Lounge Podcast: Provider’s Perspective, host Stacey Doyle sits down with Dr. Emma Jones, a hospice and palliative care physician, former pediatric oncologist, mentor, and author of The Phoenix Blueprint. Drawing from her deeply personal experience with physician burnout, Dr. Jones opens up about how the pressures of modern medicine nearly consumed her—and how she rose from the ashes with purpose, presence, and practical healing.
We explore the emotional toll of palliative care, the myth of the self-sacrificing doctor, and the importance of setting boundaries, finding rest, and reconnecting with your “why.” Dr. Jones shares insights from yoga philosophy, the power of mindfulness, and how physicians can become lighthouses in their own communities by showing up with compassion—without losing themselves in the process.
Whether you’re a physician on the brink of burnout or simply seeking to practice medicine with more balance and intention, this episode offers an honest, uplifting roadmap to reclaiming joy and resilience in healthcare.
