Once You See It: A Mental Health Podcast
1. Nurse entrepreneurship, spirituality, and integrative healing with Mary Buffington
Show Notes

For my first interview, I join nurse entrepreneur, burnout expert, and former colleague Mary Buffington, MSN, RN.

Mary is founder of the Burnout Ward, a coaching platform that looks for sustainable solutions to burnout in the workplace to improve patient outcomes. She's also a woman with many different hats: a trained herbalist, a registered nurse, a history of medicine expert, and a mother to her adorable son.

Tune in as we discuss the following topics:

- Nurse entrepreneurship and burnout

- How oncology is a frontier for more integrative care in medicine

- The problems with a "silver bullet" fix in healthcare

- The history of the mind, body, and spirit separation in medicine

- The medicine monoculture we live in now, and how an integrative lens is the way forward

- Spirituality and mindset in healing, and the difference between spirituality and religion

- The both/and nature of integrative medicine

- The bottleneck in Western healthcare and providers' desires to do more to help their patients in a truly patient-centered model
