1. From OBGYN to Insurance Advisor: Dr. Stephanie Pearson's Story and Strategies to Protecting Healthcare Professionals Jennifer George 35:11

In this week’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Stephanie Pearson who went from an OBGYN to the Founder and CEO of PearsonRavitz, an insurance advisory firm that specializes in disability and life insurance for healthcare professionals.

This is an enlightening conversation with Stephanie, where she recounts her courageous journey through adversity and the battles with disability insurance that led her to champion the protection of her peers. Through Stephanie’s narrative, we uncover the stark realities of our profession’s risks and the importance of securing our future with the right insurance strategies.

In an era where financial literacy often takes a backseat, Stephanie’s shift to educating the medical community marks a beacon of hope. 

Our discussion extends to the significance of financial preparedness, especially for women who are navigating the healthcare industry. 

The success story of her burgeoning company, now a pillar of support for doctors nationwide and in Puerto Rico, is more than just a business milestone—it’s a testament to the critical necessity of tailored financial education in medicine. Together, we celebrate the Resilience of the human spirit and the collective dedication towards a secure and fulfilling life, punctuated by a mutual appreciation for the supportive community we’re building here.

Jennifer George Author, Physiotherapist, Podcast Host

At the onset of my career as a Physiotherapist (PT) in 2007, I also became a caregiver to my chronically ill father. Throughout my career and caregiving, I saw both sides of the healthcare system – as a clinician and as a family member & caregiver – and I witnessed the gaps in communication between providers and patients. Walking into a medical appointment with my dad was always a psychological experience and quite often, his healing and our outlook was mainly impacted by the quality of the interactions.

When my dad died in 2018, I was inspired to write my first book, Communication is Care: 9 Empowering Strategies to Guide Patient Healing, published in June 2019. I wrote this book with the intention to help healthcare providers enhance their communication skills and be able to communicate with patients in such a way that it would help their patients achieve their highest level of function, recovery, and independence. My book has received a few awards and was an Amazon Bestseller upon its launch.

In October 2019, I further launched my podcast, The Healthcare Provider Happy Hour. The purpose of my podcast is to support the well-being of healthcare providers so that they may create the best patient experiences and minimize their risk of burnout. I’ve released over 200 episodes to date and have had the opportunity to chat with like-minded people on a similar mission over the past three years from all over the globe.”
