Authentic Tea - Mindful Career Change for Doctors Podcast artwork

Join me, Dr Rachel Beanland, Public Health Doctor, Meditation Teacher and Physician Coach. Hear stories of women in medicine who created unique paths & ways to live more mindfully. Throughout my career, I experienced the challenge of finding the right path & the desire to be authentic. Transitioning from clinical medicine, I struggled to find role models & turned inward to explore how mindfulness could guide me. My hope is to provide an inspiring light to doctors who want to free their inner selves, cultivate calm & balance, do medicine differently and make a bigger impact in the world.
