Description
You’re in healthcare - but no one told you it would feel like this.
The award winning Angie Graham Podcast is where real conversations replace red tape. If you're a young professional trying to lead, care, and stay sane in this industry, an established leader looking for something new when all the old tricks are no longer working or just need a place that talks about you because it's about you , you're in the right place.
We talk senior living, healthcare and leadership, and what it really means to care - for others and yourself.
No spin. No scripts...sometimes. Just the truth behind the systems - and how YOU can make them better.

You’ll hear real examples of pricing gaps, like imaging that dropped from thousands to a few hundred dollar...
Is healthcare really facing an employee crisis? Angie Graham says no. It’s a management crisis hiding behind “staffing shortages.” People still want to work. They just want to feel valued, informed, and supported. In this episode, Angie speaks to emerging leaders about modern staffing. She shares a simple, underused strategy: stay connected to your summer students so they return during holiday breaks, when your full-time team needs time off most. She also challenges leaders to...
Big moves create big stress, especially when the move is into senior care. In this episode, Matt Paxton (Clutter Cleaner, Filthy Fortunes) shares a simple, repeatable plan to downsize without crushing the family. Matt’s first step is clarity: pick where you’re going and set the deadline. Then make a “legacy list” of five items, the pieces that hold the stories you want to keep. After that, choose your real must-haves based on space, not guilt (sometimes buying new costs less than moving old)....
