In this episode, Jessica McIntyre, MD shares the 2:00 AM moment during a 28-hour ICU shift when everything cracked. After intubating a critically ill baby, she walked into the call room and had her first panic attack. That moment forced her to confront a painful truth: medicine had disconnected her from herself.
What followed was unexpected. A late-night Google search led her to the Wild Woman Project, a mountaintop retreat that changed the trajectory of her career and identity. She opens up about physician mental health, infertility, societal expectations placed on women, and why creating safe spaces for women physicians may be one of the most important forms of healing in medicine.
This conversation is about vulnerability, burnout, identity, and reclaiming the parts of ourselves that medicine tries to tame.
