Empowering Oncologists: How coaching can make a difference?
In this deeply insightful episode of Empowering Oncologists, host Dr. Jasmine Kamboj, a medical oncologist-hematologist from Minnesota, is joined by Dr. Stephanie Byerly, a longtime academic anesthesiologist, trauma-informed coach, and women’s leadership mentor. Together, they explore what it means to thrive—not just survive—in medicine.
Key discussion points include:
- The personal experiences that led her to coaching, including trauma, burnout, and transformation
- The hidden weight of unconscious gender bias in medicine—and how to break free from it
- The crucial difference between mentorship and sponsorship for women in healthcare
- Why burnout is not just a system issue—and what physicians can do about it now
- A powerful reminder: “Rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement.”
Empowering Oncologists is a podcast by OncoDaily, created to highlight the personal side of oncology practice and leadership—where authenticity, resilience, and connection take center stage.
