About How Do You Feel?
Dr. Jessi Gold shares her deeply personal journey as a psychiatrist and wellness leader, facing the overwhelming pressures of the medical profession. Through compelling patient stories and her own reflections, she exposes the often-hidden emotional struggles that healthcare professionals experience-burnout, perfectionism, and the challenge of maintaining humanity in a demanding field. Her insights and experiences will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the weight of responsibility in caring for others.
We look forward to an engaging discussion and hope to see you there!
