Soul to Soul with Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa
What happens when a behavioral scientist with two decades of experience studying how meaning gets lost — between doctors and patients, between research and real life, between who we are and who we perform — turns that lens inward?
Soul to Soul is a weekly podcast hosted by Lisa Carter-Bawa, PhD, MPH, APRN, ANP-C, FAAN, a researcher, leader, and advocate who has spent her career at the intersection of health equity, communication, and human behavior. Each episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that institutions and expectations have tried to edit out.
The show features three kinds of episodes. Soul Reflections are weekly meditations on leadership, identity, and what it means to stay whole in a world that wants to fragment you. Lost in Translation episodes unpack the moments where meaning breaks down in healthcare, communication, and everyday life. The Return brings conversations with people who found their way back to themselves after years of performing someone they weren’t.
Grounded in the philosophy that you don’t need reinvention — you need a return — Soul to Soul is for leaders, scientists, healthcare professionals, and anyone who suspects that the most powerful version of themselves isn’t the one they’ve been projecting.
New episodes every Monday.
