Medicine Motherhood Missions

About Medicine Motherhood Missions

You are not just one thing. Neither am I. I'm Johanna Moses, PA-C, MPH: hospital medicine, three kinds of work, one very full life. I've worked hospital medicine and post-acute care. I've sat with a family on their worst day and clocked out to be a mother twenty minutes later. I've been the only woman in the room, and the one who stayed too long in a place that made me smaller. For years I treated that as a scheduling problem; three callings to be balanced, traded off, and apologized for. It isn't. Medicine, motherhood, and missions aren't three things competing for one life. They're three things making one, and each of them taught me something the others couldn't. Not balance. Integration. So: three callings. One life. Here's what that looks like for the guests and me on this podcast. You’ll hear real conversations on burnout, resilience, faith, and finding your voice, because you are not just one thing.

   Heal the Healers: Faith, Burnout, and the Physician's Soul with Dr. Inga Hofmann

   Three Callings, One Life: Faith, Medicine, and Healing for Physicians: Johanna Moses speaks with Dr. Inga Hofmann, a pediatric hematologist oncologist, academic physician success coach, and founder of Heal the Healers, about the hidden cost of medical calling and the importance of caring for the spirit alongside the body and mind. The conversation follows Inga’s path into pediatrics and academic medicine, and how prayer began to reshape her understanding of healing, intercession, and God’s presence in clinical work. They discuss integrating faith into medical practice, why “work-life balance” may be the wrong framework, and how identity in Christ can challenge performance-driven burnout. Inga also shares the vision behind the Heal the Healers conference and the role of prayer, discernment, and spiritual restoration in healthcare.

   Beyond Motherhood: Identity, Calling & Purpose with Sohani Faria Ep 75

   Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “I should be happy… so why do I feel like something is missing?” In this episode of Medicine Motherhood Missions, Johanna sits down with writer and storyteller Sohani Faria for an honest conversation about purpose, identity, motherhood, faith, rejection, and learning to trust God’s timing. Sohani shares how she spent much of her life as a stay-at-home mom while caring for a daughter who faced health challenges. From the outside, her life looked like the dream many women are told they should want. But internally, she felt unsettled. She was active in church. She volunteered. She served in ministry. She stayed busy. Yet eventually she realized that being busy—even doing good things for God—wasn't the same as living from a place of purpose. That realization led her to ask a life-changing question: “Lord, what is the purpose of my life? What do You want me to do?” That question became the beginning of a new chapter. Sohani is a writer whose work has been featured in Guideposts and Our Daily Bread, but her journey to writing wasn't necessarily a straight line. Her story includes rejection, waiting, motherhood, caring for children through illness, miraculous recoveries, ministry, and learning to recognize God's work even when circumstances don't make sense. Together, Johanna and Sohani explore what it means to pursue the dreams God has placed in our hearts without waiting for the “perfect” season. Sohani immigrated to Canada alone, at the age of 25, from the beautiful island of Sri Lanka. It was a pivotal step for Sohani as she learned to lean on Jesus as He gently pried away her hands from everyone and everything familiar to her. After many years of switching careers between computer programming, health care and clerical work, she found her passion in writing to encourage others to pursue Christ. She feels drawn to study and write about mind renewal. Sohani has been published in The Upper Room, Guideposts, and Our Daily Bread. She believes that being in the presence of truth alone will not change someone. To experience freedom and live a victorious life, believers must actively guard their minds and be a doer of the Word. She hopes to reach an audience this year through an email list, with content on mind renewal according to God’s Word. She is a firm believer that everyone has been given a divine vision and no matter the regrets, mistakes and lost time, it is never too late to answer the call to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit. Today, Sohani balances life as a wife, mom, part time rental custodian and writer. She livesbwith her husband and 2 daughters in British Columbia, Canada. In her spare time, she loves to go for short walks around the neighborhood, stay connected with friends, and look up recipes on Pinterest.

   Same White Coat, Three Different Problems: Imposter Syndrome, Identity & Belonging EP 74

   Three words I've been circling for months: imposter syndrome, identity, and belonging. You're not an imposter. You're early, you're unfamiliar, or you're in the wrong room. Every one of those has a fix — and none of them require you to be smaller. Three callings. One life. 01:34 — Why a solo episode, and the three words 04:24 — Three problems in the same white coat 05:10 — Housekeeping: no names, no takedown 06:08 — Where “imposter syndrome” actually came from 08:33 — Over-preparing, over-proving, and never landing 10:30 — “I’m just a PA” 13:32 — Colorism, comparison, and the pressure to be all of it 15:40 — Identity as a multi-hyphenated tax 17:58 — Grounding identity outside the title 18:17 — What are your motives? 25:18 — What you fall back on when the job is gone 31:06 — Belonging: the store aisle, and the group I’d left 33:13 — “Mama, is that why they’re asking where I’m from?” 37:06 — Belonging is not a credential 39:01 — Fruitful in the land of affliction 41:05 — Esther: what hiding costs you 42:55 — Ruth: identity without a title 47:29 — Stop auditioning; you need one or two people 48:58 — One yes, one handshake, one ripple 49:35 — Build your own rooms 50:11 — The questions to sit with, and this week’s assignment 52:04 — It was never a confidence problem. It was a location problem This week's assignment Introduce yourself once without the softener. No qualifier, no apology, no explaining your résumé sideways. Just a sentence. Then notice what happens in your body. And ask yourself: Where are you still adding just to your own introduction? Which of your callings is starving right now — and did you choose that, or drift into it? Are there spaces I can build to invite others in? Who are your one or two people? If you can't name them, that's the assignment. Calls to action Share it. Send me your story. Leave a rating.
