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. Singh reflects on the importance of recontracting midway through a coaching engagement and creating space for coachees to recognize their own progress and transformation. She shares Dr. Mary’s reflections on feeling more grounded in her identities as both a mother and physician and discusses why coaches should not wait until the end of an engagement to revisit goals, progress, and what would be most meaningful moving forward.
She also explores the role of the coach in supporting coachee independence and ownership of the coaching process, including why the coachee—not the coach—should recognize and take credit for their growth.
The episode then explores what happens when a coachee does not have a topic to explore. Dr. Singh reflects on staying non-directive, resisting the urge to choose the area of focus, and trusting that meaningful coaching can unfold without forcing the timing.
She closes by reflecting on her own continued development as a coach, staying aligned with coaching ethics and competencies, and trusting the self-directed nature of the coaching process.
Listeners will gain practical insights into using midway reflection and recontracting to support coachee awareness and independence, staying non-directive, and trusting the coaching process as it unfolds.
