Healing Through Self-Compassion: Dr. Olivia Ong's Inspiring Journey
We have to really be open-minded to all these technologies...all of those things will start to come further into generalized healthcare, which is pretty darn exciting, isn't it?
What does it take to bounce back from a life-altering injury? Dr. Olivia Ong knows firsthand. In this episode of 'Toni TV', host Toni Lontis sits down with Dr. Ong, a Compassionate Leadership & Resilience Speaker, to discuss her incredible story of recovery and the power of self-compassion. After a devastating spinal cord injury in 2008, Dr. Ong spent four grueling years learning to walk again with the aid of two sticks and a limp.
Her journey taught her an invaluable lesson: the importance of being kind to oneself. This experience inspired her to help others, especially doctors facing burnout and stress. Dr. Ong has recently authored 'The Heart-Centeredness of Medicine', a book aimed at guiding doctors back to their true selves and leading heart-centered lives. In this heartfelt conversation, she shares insights on integrating Eastern and Western medicine, the benefits of peer coaching in hospitals, and her life transformation program designed specifically for doctors.
If you're in the healthcare field or simply interested in stories of resilience, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Ong's message of self-compassion and balance is both empowering and hopeful.
