In this episode of The Collective Rx, I sit down with Manjit Hansra, founder of Rx for Renewal, to explore what it truly takes to move from burnout to balance. 

Drawing from his own journey as a former pharmacy owner who stepped back to reclaim his well-being, Manjit shares practical, science-backed tools that healthcare professionals can use to reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous system, and cultivate joy in everyday life.

We discuss the power of creating space, listening to your intuition, and leaning into “micro shifts” that compound into lasting change. Whether you’re feeling stretched thin or simply curious about deepening your resilience, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable strategies you can start today.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why taking a step back (even without a clear plan) can open the door to clarity and new opportunities.

• How to strengthen your intuition by quieting external noise.

• The concept of “micro shifts” and how small, consistent changes build resilience.

• A simple, science-backed breathwork practice you can use during transitions in your day to stay centered.

• Why nervous system regulation is a foundational skill for healthcare professionals, and how to start practicing it.

• How community and shared vulnerability can reduce shame, foster connection, and accelerate personal growth.
