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.

Support the show & get subscriber-only content.In this episode of The Holistic Physician Coaching Podcast, Dr. Jessica Singh meets with Dr. Mary, a family medicine physician in her first year of residency, to debrief her baseline Maslach Burnout Inventory Toolkit results.
The Maslach Burnout Inventory Toolkit combines the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Areas of Worklife Survey to measure burnout within the context of work life. According to Mind Garden, the Maslach Burnout Inventory is recognized as a leading measure of burnout and has been validated by more than 35 years of research. The Areas of Worklife Survey complements the Maslach Burnout Inventory by providing additional information about employees’ perceptions of workplace qualities that may influence whether they experience greater work engagement or burnout.
Dr. Mary completed the assessment through the lens of how she was doing at work before starting maternity leave, creating a meaningful point of reflection before returning to work and a baseline for the coaching engagement. Together, Dr. Singh and Dr. Mary explore professional fulfillment, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment, and workplace factors that may contribute to burnout or support engagement.
Dr. Mary also shares insights of her experience as a resident physician, including workload, autonomy, peer support, system frustrations, and the importance of self-awareness in recognizing when burnout may be emerging. Dr. Mary reflects on what her results mean to her, how the assessment can support ongoing self-reflection, and why anchoring into personal accomplishment matters during challenging seasons of training.
