70. Understanding Mindfulness Through Sexuality with Dr. Kelly Casperson Artwork

Operate with Zen

While incredibly rewarding and honored vocations, careers in medicine and surgery are fraught with stress, burnout and challenges in work-life balance. OWZ is intended to open dialogue about a mindful approach to surgery - to create a space where physicians and surgeons can enhance their life's work and life experience with a focus on presence, purpose and practical skills. OWZ combines didactic-like monologues to provide baseline information and available scientific data on practical topics like time management, sleep hygiene and burnout; as well as interviews with surgeons and experts to share what works and doesn't work in their daily routines.

70. Understanding Mindfulness Through Sexuality with Dr. Kelly Casperson

July 14, 2023 • Season 7 • Episode 5

Dr. Kelly Casperson, MD is a surgical rockstar!!! … a urologist and sexual medicine expert, a extremely successful podcaster, author and now Ted-Talker! Kelly hosts the “You Are Not Broken” podcast (https://www.kellycaspersonmd.com/podcast) which empowers women (“and the partners who love them”) with science and conversations to break down sexuality improve the intimate lives of the tens of thousands who listen each month! But we are not talking about sexuality in today’s podcast… not really. Dr. Casperson and I discuss her journey to find purpose and how her true self re-emerged after years of surgical training and practice. We discuss mindfulness and personality traits, and how a better understanding of yourself and those that surround you enhance our ability to be phenomenal surgeons and doctors. And yes, human sexuality serves as the backdrop for the entire conversation. Woven in and out of the context of our lives, understanding sexuality by understanding self, communication, and personal interactions leads us to a more mindful existence and relationships with our intimate partners and others. Enjoy!
