Soul to Soul with Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa

About Soul to Soul with Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa

What happens when a behavioral scientist with two decades of experience studying how meaning gets lost — between doctors and patients, between research and real life, between who we are and who we perform — turns that lens inward? Soul to Soul is a weekly podcast hosted by Lisa Carter-Bawa, PhD, MPH, APRN, ANP-C, FAAN, a researcher, leader, and advocate who has spent her career at the intersection of health equity, communication, and human behavior. Each episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that institutions and expectations have tried to edit out. The show features three kinds of episodes. Soul Reflections are weekly meditations on leadership, identity, and what it means to stay whole in a world that wants to fragment you. Lost in Translation episodes unpack the moments where meaning breaks down in healthcare, communication, and everyday life. The Return brings conversations with people who found their way back to themselves after years of performing someone they weren’t. Grounded in the philosophy that you don’t need reinvention — you need a return — Soul to Soul is for leaders, scientists, healthcare professionals, and anyone who suspects that the most powerful version of themselves isn’t the one they’ve been projecting. New episodes every Monday.

   What You Owe the One Who Got You Here

   Send us Fan Mail There was a version of me — years ago — who made a decision that cost her something real. She made it because she believed it would lead somewhere. She trusted that the person who arrived on the other side would do something with what she had built. I am that person. I am the one who arrived. And I have been wondering lately whether I kept the promise. This episode is about the debt between who you were and who you are. Not a debt of gratitude — we talk about that one all the...

   The Sentence Someone Wrote About You

   Send us Fan Mail Somebody described me to someone else recently. The description was kind. It was generous. And I didn't feel recognized — I felt maintained. Like someone had looked at a photograph of me and described the frame. This episode is about what happens when someone else's words for you become the house you live in. Not because they're wrong. Because they're fixed. The compliment that quietly becomes a job description. The admiration that hardens into an expectation you are not allo...

   What I Envy

   Send us Fan Mail Envy is the emotion we skip past — too ugly for public consumption, too petty for someone who has built a life she chose. But what if envy is the most honest compass we have? In this episode, Lisa explores the one thing she envies — and it's not a title, a trip, or a career milestone. It's the ability to rest without guilt. Starting with the gendered double standard around unplugging, she traces the thread from a system that rewards women for overavailability, to a postdoc pr...
