The Holistic Physician Coaching Podcast
The Holistic Physician Coaching Podcast is dedicated to making physician coaching more accessible for physicians and those who coach them by featuring real coaching engagements.
Each season features one physician being coached by host Jessica Singh, MD, NBC-HWC, ACC, through specific topics, challenges, and life situations. These coaching conversations give listeners insight into the complex, evolving, and deeply personal experiences of physicians. The podcast explores what supports us, what challenges us, and what helps us live and work in greater alignment.
Dr. Singh is a Yale-trained emergency medicine physician who became the first to complete a one-year physician wellness fellowship at Stanford University, before transitioning her career to pursue holistic health and wellness. Through her own healing journey from burnout, she gained experience in yoga, Ayurveda, mind-body medicine, and coaching, bringing that depth to discussions on physician coaching, professional fulfillment, integrative health practices, and advocacy for physician well-being.
This podcast is for physicians, physician coaches, and all who care about the well-being of those in medicine. Just as in medicine, where a single interaction can transform a life, this podcast is grounded in the belief that one conversation can have immense power to inspire, heal, and bring about change.
Subscriber-only episodes include physician coaching sessions, exclusive debrief episodes for each coaching session with Dr. Singh, and coach mentoring sessions where Dr. Singh receives support in her own coaching practice. Free episodes feature physician experts discussing themes and topics related to the coaching journey.

Dr. Mary is a family medicine intern in the United States who is navigating a major life transition as a first-time mother preparing to return to residency training after maternity leave.
Dr. Singh revisits the themes that emerged in that initial coaching session, including Dr. Mary’s exploration of the tension between her calling to medicine and her commitment to motherhood. At the heart of the session was the core question: How do I be both a mother and a physician at the same time?
In this session, Dr. Singh also debriefs her experience stepping into coaching in this format for the first time. She shares the story behind the podcast’s beginnings with honesty and humility, reflecting on what it meant to create something new, to begin before feeling fully prepared, and to expand access to coaching for physicians.
Dr. Singh offers listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how she prepared for that first session, including the intentional practices she used to cultivate presence and the steps she took to establish safety, structure, confidentiality, and a clear coaching agreement. As the episode unfolds, she reflects on what she learned from the experience and on the importance of mentorship, vulnerability, and ongoing professional development in the practice of coaching.
