Bringing the Soul Back to Medicine with Dr. Mark Sullivan


Medicine isn’t just lab results and checkboxes—it’s about humans caring for humans. 💙 In this episode, Dr. Mark Sullivan, a physician with a heart for whole-person care, reminds us what truly matters: listening, presence, and compassion.


We talk about:
🌟 Why “to be heard is to be healed” may be the most powerful prescription
🌟 The Four Pillars he uses with every patient (sleep, nutrition, movement, boundaries)
🌟 How to protect your time and your soul in a rushed system
🌟 Burnout vs. moral injury—and why your calling still matters
🌟 Three simple “assignments” every doctor (and human!) can use to reset


This conversation is hopeful, practical, and inspiring. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your spark alive in medicine—or life—you’re going to love this one.


✨ Tune in, get encouraged, and remember: you are whole, you are a gift, and the work you do matters.
