From Pissed Off to Poised- A Podcast for Busy Women Professionals
This podcast is designed to help overcommitted women, physicians, and
professionals move from being reactionary—often feeling anger and
resentment—to becoming more intentional and responsive. The goal is to
help you enjoy life while still getting everything that needs to be done,
done.
In this show, we’ll dive deep into how to shift from reacting to responding
when it comes to anger, while recognizing that the first step to making a change is building our awareness. I’ll also share practical tips on how to say "yes" only to what truly matters to you and create a calendaring system that works—one that honors your commitments to both yourself and others.
As a retired pediatrician, the co-founder of Virginia iSpine Physicians, and
a trauma informed certified mindset coach I have navigated multiple career transitions in life and am still evolving as I apply these concepts in other areas with grace and vulnerability. I want to share what I have learned over the years so that you can start to create more peace in your day to day life,
as you begin to shift from reaction to response.

Ep 21: Master Your Emotions with Mindfulness with Dr. Rashmi Schramm
I’m so thrilled to welcome Dr. Rashmi Schramm to the podcast today! Dr. Schramm is an incredible meditation teacher who has deeply influenced the way I understand and use meditation to navigate strong emotions like frustration and overwhelm.
Meditation is more than just a mindfulness buzzword—it’s a powerful, formal practice that teaches us to be fully present without judgment. When we pause to notice what’s coming up inside us with curiosity, not criticism, we often uncover the deeper emotions driving our reactions. This awareness is a game-changer for processing anger and shifting out of a reactive state into a space of calm control.
In this episode, Dr. Schramm not only shares her wisdom but also leads us through a beautiful guided meditation you’ll want to revisit whenever life feels a little too loud. She reminds us that meditation isn’t about achieving some perfect state of bliss—it’s about showing up, practicing, and strengthening your mindfulness muscle over time. Even if your mind keeps wandering, the benefits to your body and mind are still incredible.
Join us for a conversation that will inspire you to embrace meditation as a tool to stay grounded, focused, and poised no matter what comes your way.
