The PLA Podcast
The Physicians Leadership Academy (PLA) Podcast is a space for physicians seeking meaningful connection, personal growth, and authentic leadership. Through insightful conversations with PLA faculty, alumni, and thought leaders, we explore the inner work of physician leadership—from mindfulness and emotional intelligence to navigating burnout, uncertainty, and change.
Hosted by Dr. Stephanie Costa, this podcast offers practical tools, honest reflections, and real stories that inspire physicians to lead with intention—at work, at home, and in their communities. Whether you’re a graduate of the PLA or just beginning your leadership journey, this podcast is here to reconnect you with your values, your purpose, and your community.
