In this episode, Dr. Jonathan Ramachenderan talks about the self-care lessons he has learned as a Palliative Care Doctor. Being exposed to chronically ill patients on a regular basis, this made him take a deeper look into his life and in what really matters in life. Dr. Jonathan now promotes self-care among allied health professionals and inspiring everyone to cultivate a “sense of impatience about the things you want to do in your life.”

“Self-care is about replenishing energy. And in life, we have physical energy, mental energy, emotional energy, and spiritual energy, and self-care is this intentional process that you do everyday that replenishes you.”
