In this inspiring episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, we sit down with Joumana Mansour, personal growth expert, wellness specialist, and founder of Journey of You, a bilingual (Arabic/English) platform transforming how individuals, medical students, and physicians understand emotional wellness. Joumana shares the deeply personal story behind her 17-year journey in the United States, the pain that pushed her toward healing, and the experiences that led her to build an entire ecosystem dedicated to personal development:

✔️ Her new book "Be Your Own Coach", written in both Arabic and English

✔️ The Journey of You platform and Moodle-based online programs

✔️ The Joy Certified Coach (JCC) training

✔️ Her free bilingual mobile app, JOY Journal, offering guided breathing and reflective tools

✔️ Her mission to bring emotional literacy, boundaries, coaching, and self-care into homes, hospitals, and medical schools

Together, we discuss: Why physicians and trainees are uniquely vulnerable to burnout The problem of emotional suppression in medical training Boundaries, codependency, empathy vs. sympathy, and the “victim–rescuer–persecutor” trap How mindful breathing, intentional habit formation, and self-coaching can reset the nervous system The secret behind “caring for the physician”—and in turn caring for the patient Why every healthcare system needs wellness coaches as part of the care team How Journey of You is expanding across Lebanon, the region, and the world Whether you are a physician, student, parent, or simply someone seeking emotional balance, this conversation offers practical tools for reclaiming your power, breaking long-standing patterns, and building a sustainable, fulfilling life.
