About this listen
Emergency medicine resident and musician Natalie Goodman, MD, joins We Are Human for a deeply personal conversation about the intersection of creativity and medicine. As she navigates the relentless pace of residency, Dr. Goodman has learned that holding onto her love of music isn’t just a hobby — it’s a lifeline.
She opens up about her journey from high school and collegiate athlete to physician, the early fears that came with performing her own songs, and how she learned to face both stage fright and the emotional weight of patient care. Through honest reflection, Dr. Goodman explores the parallels between performing on stage and showing up for patients in crisis — both requiring vulnerability, composure, and presence.
This episode is a meditation on identity, resilience, and the importance of nurturing your inner world even in high-stakes professions. For anyone in healthcare or another demanding career, Dr. Goodman’s story offers a reminder that being whole and being good at what you do aren’t opposites — they’re inseparable.
