Welcome to our latest series, Special Episodes! In short, Special Episodes are episodes that don’t quite fit into our usual podcast format, but that we want to share with our listeners anyway because we find them special and inspirational.

In this captivating episode on Awe, we're honored to feature Dr. Michael, a San Francisco Bay Area physician specializing in pain management and a faculty member at Touro School of Medicine. Dr. Michael is not only an expert in the clinical aspects of health but also a profound advocate for the integration of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.

With over 30 years of meditation experience, a seasoned yoga and meditation teacher accredited by Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and the founder of an organization focused on healthcare professional wellness, Dr. Michael brings a multifaceted perspective on wellness. His insights are particularly resonant for those in the caring professions who confront the effects of physical and psychospiritual pain regularly.

As the co-author of "The Power of Awe: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose―In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day," Dr. Michael dives into how awe can be a transformative force in our lives. This episode is an invitation to explore the concept of awe and its power to renew our sense of wonder, alleviate burnout, and restore our connection to a larger purpose.
