À propos de ce contenu audio

 SafeSpace is a new grounding and respite podcast aimed at Healthcare Professionals focused on staff wellbeing in the healthcare work environment, a grossly overlooked issue and yet, I would argue, the cornerstone of the healthcare system which is why it is crumbling. There are 3 components to the podcast: - Candid interviews with healthcare leaders, and a wide variety of passionate healthcare professionals about their own experiences and struggles with their wellbeing as they have progressed through their careers - Reflective discussions with a clinical psychologist, my co-host, regarding key topics that have arisen such as coping with bullying, depression, burnout, grief, menopause etc - Guided meditations specific to the healthcare worker getting ready for the day ahead, a pause during, and winding down and acceptance following the working day. This podcast is not a panacea or substitute for a formal management plan, but a motivating, and catharsis tool to help during a stressful day.

Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Mariam is joined by Jo Wright, co-founder of Coaching Culture Limited and author of the provocatively titled book, No More S**t Managers. Jo shares her journey from a 30-year career in corporate leadership to becoming a professional coach dedicated to cultural transformation. They explore the vital shift from traditional, transactional management to a transformational coaching style, a change Jo argues is essential for the high-pressure world of healthcare. Jo breaks down her 7-step framework for building a coaching culture, discussing how empathy, curiosity, and psychological safety can combat burnout, improve staff retention, and ultimately lead to better patient care. KEY TAKEAWAY Traditional management is often ‘transactional’ and task-focused. In contrast, a coaching approach is ‘transformational’, focusing on the human being behind the task to build trust and resilience. Jo outlines a process for cultural change: Visualise, Strategise, Engage, Grow, Thrive, Perform, and Sustain. While healthcare is time-pressured, investing small moments in coaching conversations empowers staff, increases efficiency, and prevents long-term burnout. You don’t need to be a professional coach to use coaching skills. Like cooking, everyone should have basic skills to support their peers and teams, even if they aren't ‘chefs’. A positive coaching conversation doesn't just stay at work; it has a ripple effect that improves a person's life at home with their partners and children. BEST MOMENTS "You can't just tell people to change, people don't respond like that. There is a real psychology behind changing behaviors." "Coaching is like cooking. Everybody should be able to cook, but you don't all have to be a professional chef." "This is about slowing down to speed up. Take a breath to be more effective, more efficient, and more productive." "Work should be a positive experience. We spend so much time at work, it's a huge chunk of our life." "One conversation can make such a difference to somebody's work day, and life, and partner, and children." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing. She has experience on the Schwartz Round Steering group and as a facilitator for her health board, and she created and led the Balint Group Programme for Foundation Doctors in her hospital. These are regular spaces for healthcare professionals to speak about real issues that affect their well-being amongst colleagues to improve mutual support and camaraderie in the workplace. She also holds qualifications in Life Coaching and healthcare leadership and management. Whatever your reason for joining us on this podcast, we are glad you have taken the time. If you are having stressful days at work, leaving you feeling demotivated, and depleted, I'm hoping I can help here.

    • Finding Authenticity and Compassion in Healthcare with Dr. Jeevan Swamy

      Finding Authenticity and Compassion in Healthcare with Dr. Jeevan Swamy
      Feb 10 2026
      The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Mariam is joined by Dr. Jeevan Swamy, a GP, health inequalities lead, and tech entrepreneur. Dr. Swamy shares his fascinating journey from a religious upbringing to becoming a ‘Christian atheist’ whose moral lens is deeply shaped by values of trust, compassion, and service. KEY TAKEAWAYS Meaningful healthcare starts with building trust through a genuine interest in a patient’s unique story beyond their clinical symptoms. Many men, particularly in South Asian cultures, struggle with mental health because they equate their worth solely with economic provision, leading to suppressed emotions and burnout. Effective leadership in high-pressure environments like the NHS should prioritize psychological safety and the ability to admit mistakes over traditional, hierarchical authority. Showing vulnerability as a leader or practitioner is not a weakness; it is a strength that encourages others to speak up and seek the support they need. True advocacy for staff involves lowering the barrier for entry to express concerns, ensuring that even the most quiet or marginalised voices are heard and acted upon. BEST MOMENTS "Trust is at the heart of everything that we do. It’s all about creating those kinds of spaces of trust for people." "A man isn’t just worth what his paycheck is, he’s also worth who he is as a human being." "There’s no one pill that’s going to solve life, the solutions to life come in the hard work." "You have to shout, and you have to shout even louder to be heard. Keep shouting until someone listens." "The leaders always have to do more of the work to make people feel comfortable. You have to make yourself approachable." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing.

    • Confronting the Mental Health Crisis in Medicine with Dr. Christine Muhota

      Confronting the Mental Health Crisis in Medicine with Dr. Christine Muhota
      Feb 3 2026
      The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms ⁠https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F⁠ If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this powerful episode, Mariam sits down with Dr. Christine Muhota, an internal medicine doctor and a leading advocate for mental health within the medical community. Dr. Muhota shares her personal journey through burnout during her clinical years and explains the ‘grassroots’ origins of her award-winning charity, Mind Health for Medical Students. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dr. Muhota emphasises that the first step to cultural change is breaking the silence; realising that colleagues are ‘silently struggling’ creates the solidarity needed to build support systems. Medical schools often offer ‘performative action’ (like help forms or emails) without ensuring these resources are accessible, effective, or free from stigma. True leadership isn't about being the loudest voice; it is about delegating, trusting your team, and creating a safe environment where other voices can emerge. A sustainable medical training model must include mandatory time off for students and doctors to recover, attend personal appointments, and prevent total exhaustion. Burnout is not a personal weakness or an individual failure; it is a ‘natural response’ to an unsustainable system that depletes its staff without replenishing them. BEST MOMENTS "I realised that oh, I'm getting a lot more tired. I'm not able to sleep very well, and I realised actually we're all kind of silently struggling." "Imagine if compassion wasn't seen as an extra, it's the base of the pizza. It's the sauce as well as the base. It’s not some kind of extra thing that you sprinkle on top." "You can’t pour compassion from an empty cup. The system has to also create the spaces for us to uphold this, otherwise it’s hard." "Leadership does not mean that your voice is the loudest in the room. It is about creating a safe space for other people’s voices and ideas to come through, and then you amplify that." "Sustainability comes from being able to connect with who are you working for, what is the current need, and how are we going to make this happen."
