Healing Healthcare from Within with Dr. Erin Hurley

July 30, 2025 • Dr Tomi Mitchell • Season 16 • Episode 6

Physician burnout isn’t just a personal problem—it’s a public health crisis. In this empowering episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, explore the hidden toll of burnout, compassion fatigue, and unprocessed trauma in medicine with my guest, Dr. Erin Hurley—a board-certified physician, certified coach, and founder of Transformational Doc. Drawing from over 20 years in pediatric and child abuse medicine, Dr. Hurley brings powerful insight into how trauma-informed coaching can create sustainable, joyful careers for healthcare professionals.

We dive into the emotional weight carried by physicians, especially women, and why traditional models of medicine often leave providers depleted and disconnected. Dr. Hurley shares her unique approach to healing the healers by combining science-backed performance strategies with holistic well-being practices to help clinicians reclaim time, energy, and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why women physicians face higher burnout rates and how systemic pressures fuel emotional exhaustion
How trauma-informed coaching and mindful daily practices can restore resilience and clarity
Practical strategies to reduce overwhelm, improve work-life balance, and enhance patient care through physician well-being

Dr. Erin Hurley is the visionary behind Transformational Doc, where she supports physicians and healthcare teams through customized coaching and leadership consulting. Her work helps clinicians move beyond chronic stress and into careers rooted in balance, integrity, and vitality. With a trauma-informed lens and deep clinical experience, Dr. Hurley guides her clients through real-world, physician-centered transformation.

Join me, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, and Dr. Erin Hurley for an honest, hope-filled conversation about what it truly takes to heal the healers—and how reclaiming joy in medicine is not only possible, but necessary.
