    The Other Human in the Room is on hiatus!

    For the next 3 months, you’ll still be getting weekly episodes on your podcast feeds - but they’ll all be re-releases of past favourites.

    I’m using this time to dream and explore new ideas and directions for the podcast.

    See you in March!

    The thing that your brain loves to worry about all day has happened - you made a mistake. In medicine!! Joan shares how to actually learn from these mistakes instead of drowning in shame spirals.

  • 202. How to Stop Hiding Your Magic with Dr Carlos Yu

    202. How to Stop Hiding Your Magic with Dr Carlos Yu
    Dec 7 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr Carlos Yu, a self-described “odd” family doctor who has spent 35+ years quietly rewriting what it means to practice medicine as his full, weird, magical self. We talk about cold plunges in Lake Ontario, drum circles, ear acupuncture groups, and the deep privilege of witnessing patients when they’re open and vulnerable. Carlos shares how he moved from judging by appearances to practicing radical curiosity, sensory awareness, and presence in every encounter. Together, we explore how coming home to your body and the present moment can be a path back to your own weird, beautiful humanity in medicine.
