Medicine Motherhood Missions

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 lives with 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.Connect with Sohani:https://soundofthelordmission.com/Connect with Johanna:🌐 www.johannamoses.com🌐 www.

What happens when systems protect power more than people? In this second half of Johanna's conversation with Kayla Branstetter — author of the upcoming book Don't Be an Athena — the two go beyond mean-girl mythology to ask harder questions about who gets believed, who gets blamed, and who gets left to suffer in silence.Drawing on the ancient story of Medusa — a mortal woman punished for a god's violence against her — Kayla and Johanna trace a direct line from Greek mythology to modern healthcare: the dismissal of women's pain, the politicization of medical research, the erosion of trust between patients and providers, and the internalized shame so many women carry into motherhood, reproduction, and their own bodies.This episode covers a wide range of ground: sexual assault and consent education, the history of medical racism (from Tuskegee to Henrietta Lacks), the impact of colonization on women's rights, vaccine hesitancy and public health communication, and the quiet, generational pressure to endure rather than to heal.It's not a conversation about rejecting strength — it's a conversation about whether real strength makes room for truth, compassion, and care.Key Topics & Approximate Timestamps What the Athena myth represents: power, complicity, and dualityThe story behind Don't Be an Athena — Medusa, Poseidon, and the origin of the "monster"How shame replaces supportParallels to colonization and cultural erasureKayla's own story: infertility, miscarriageHealthcare as a human rightInternalized misogyny across culturesThe mental load, "quiet endurance," and the myth of the strong-but-weak womanAbout the GuestKayla Branstetter is an English instructor, writer, TEDx speaker, and researcher.

But he also invites us to consider something deeper: What mindset sustains a physician through burnout, perfectionism, sacrifice, and the pursuit of integrity?Whether you’re in medicine, walking alongside someone who is, or simply curious about the human side of healing, this conversation will challenge you to reflect on resilience, honesty, and what it truly means to live out a calling.Connect with Ryan: Check out the book, "While You Were Asleep: Behind the Scenes Stories from Residency at a Level 1 Trauma Center" https://a.co/d/jaEwdb3IG: https://www.instagram.com/ryan_mcpherson_author/Connect with Johanna LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannamoses/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/medicine_motherhood_missions/⁠www.johannamoses.com 

Grief shows up in more places than we realize. It isn’t only about losing a loved one—it can come with the loss of health, the end of relationships, moving away from friends, or even leaving behind a life you once knew. Too often, unspoken grief hides beneath anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms, leaving us searching for answers without addressing the root.They also break down why psychiatrists, counselors, and psychologists are realizing that the five stages of grief are misleading. In this conversation, Johanna sits down with a clinical psychotherapist, Nims Dias, who specializes in grief, loss, and emotional health. Together they explore:Why grief and loss may be the underlying cause of anxiety and depressionHow somatic symptoms reveal what our emotions are holdingThe risks of unnecessary labels and the power of words in shaping our identityPractical ways to uncover the root of our pain and begin healingHow faith, truth, and affirmation can restore hope when loss feels overwhelmingWhether you’re carrying visible grief or hidden losses, this episode will remind you: you are not alone, healing is possible, and hope can be sparked again.Nims is a counsellor and a registered member of both the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and the Sri Lanka National Association of Counsellors. She manages Compassion Room, a mental health service based in Melbourne, Australia, where she provides support to individuals navigating a range of emotional and psychological challenges.Connect with Nims: www.compassionroom.com.au www.instagram.com/compassionrmtherapy www.facebook.com/compassion.roomConnect with Johanna LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannamoses/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/medicine_motherhood_missions/⁠www.johannamoses.com

In this episode of "Medicine, Motherhood, and Missions," we dive into the world of introversion and creativity with Christine Devane, author of "Elephant Beach." Christine shares her journey from a shy child with a love for elephants and storytelling to becoming a teacher and children's book author. Discover how her introverted nature shaped her creativity, influenced her teaching style, and inspired her to write stories that encourage children to step out of their comfort zones. Join us as we explore the unique strengths of introverts and the power of patience and understanding in nurturing creativity. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about embracing differences and fostering imagination in both children and adults.Christine grew up in North Andover, MA with her parents Tony and Joyce and brothers Anthony and Eddie. She was very shy when she was young and spent a lot of time reading. Throughout her childhood Christine loved animals, especially elephants. People started to buy them for her as a collection. Her grandparents, Eddie and Ginger, as well as her parents would bring her back lucky elephants from their trips. Throughout her childhood Christine always enjoyed trips to the beach with her family and grandparents.  In 2006 Christine graduated from Merrimack College with a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in Elementary Education. In 2008 she received her master’s degree in Elementary Education from Merrimack College. Christine would then go on to teach elementary school for the next 13 years. Her favorite part of the day was reading to her students. It was during reading time that she connected with her students through books. They learned, laughed and felt a range of emotions together. Christine decided that she wanted to write her own book for students to engage with, while learning and laughing. Since elephants have always been her favorite animal, she found it fitting to include them in her story. In 2017 Christine traveled to Africa with her mother and husband where she was able to see elephants living in the wild, which was always a lifelong dream. Many of the elephants were playing in the water and seemed to be having fun as they appear to in her book. Christine and her husband John have 3 children- Joey, Nick and Adeline and a dog named Sophie with whom she loves to read with. They laugh at her stories and enjoy trips to the beach together as a family. “Elephant Beach” is her first published work. Connect with Christine: https://www.christine-devane.com/ Instagram- stined13Connect with Johanna LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannamoses/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/medicine_motherhood_missions/⁠www.johannamoses.com 

In this episode of "Medicine Motherhood and Missions," we explore the profound impact of IVF and surrogacy on society with Mary Fusillo, a leader in reproductive medicine. From her personal journey through infertility to her pioneering work in egg donation and surrogacy programs, Mary shares insights into the ethical dilemmas and societal shifts surrounding these technologies. Join us as we delve into the complexities of bioethics, the evolution of reproductive health, and the ongoing quest for justice, love, and wisdom in family creation. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges norms and inspires change.Mary is someone who has worn many hats—journalist, trauma nurse, infertility expert, business founder, and bioethicist. Mary rose through the ranks of administration and leadership. Mary was instrumental in starting the Donor Egg program. She has been a leader in the field of reproductive medicine for 30+ years and started three companies of her own.Mary led national consulting efforts, and built multiple companies that help families navigate the complex path to parenthood.But what makes this conversation so compelling isn’t just Mary’s professional accomplishments—it’s her willingness to wrestle with the hard ethical questions as she also went on to start a PhD in Bioethics:How old is too old to have a baby?What does justice mean in fertility care?And what happens when we pay someone to give life?We also talk about working motherhood—what it looked like in the '80s, what’s changed, and what hasn’t.This is a rich, nuanced, and necessary conversation about autonomy, compassion, and the future of family building.What does it mean to build a family—with science, ethics, and heart? 💭Mary M. Fusillo has worn many hats: trauma nurse, infertility clinic director, business founder, and now bioethicist. In this episode, we talk about:🔹 Navigating motherhood and career in the 80s🔹 The explosion of egg donation and surrogacy🔹 What justice, autonomy, and dignity really mean in fertility care🔹 The hard ethical questions no one wants to ask—but Mary does.🔹 Autonomy is sacred in bioethics, but it becomes complicated when multiple people’s rights intersect—intended parents, donors, surrogates, and the child who will one day grow up with their own story.🔹 Justice asks not only “Is this legal?” but “Is this fair?”—and fairness requires looking at the broader systems of power, race, income, and gender that shape outcomes.🔹 In trying to do good (beneficence), we must not cause harm (nonmaleficence). But in fertility care, there’s always some risk—and always some sacrifice. Where is the line?🔹 As bioethics evolves, more people are advocating for the child’s right to identity—including their biological and birth history. Secrecy may offer short-term comfort, but it raises long-term questions about trust and justice.🔹 Ethics isn’t just about logic—it’s about deeply held values. When medicine, motherhood, and mission intersect, we’re called to hold space for complexity, humility, and grace.Bioethics is not about having perfect answers. It’s about being brave enough to ask the hard questions—and compassionate enough to sit in the tension.In a world where we can design families and extend life, bioethics asks: Are we doing it with love, justice, and wisdom?Whether you're in medicine, motherhood, or simply care about the future of family, this is a must-listen.Connect with Mary: www.familysolutionsinternational.com, @donorsolution, @the_eggsplanation_pod, www.thedonorsolution.comConnect with Johanna LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannamoses/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/medicine_motherhood_missions/⁠www.johannamoses.com Don’t settle for burnout or dissatisfaction—discover how to take charge of your life and career. 📥 Download for Free HERE —> ⁠https://www.johannamoses.com/product-page/the-fulfilled-provider-guide⁠

Sarah shares her journey to starting a podcast that highlights the strength and stories of women shaped by faith.We dive into big questions: -What does it mean to be a strong woman today? -How does the Bible actually portray strength in women? -And is there a tension within Christian circles when it comes to the term “strong woman”?

Hi Friends! This week on the podcast I had the honor of speaking with Kristin Burton founder of Millionaires in Medicine. From juggling 6‑figure student loans to crossing the million‑dollar mark, PA‑turned‑wealth‑coach Kristin Burton proves that the white coat can be a ticket to true financial freedom—if you learn the rules of money.

Hi Friends!In this heartfelt solo episode, Johanna Moses opens up about the sting of rejection—both personal and professional—and how she learned to turn it into fuel for growth. Through her own journey and the story of a young girl named Talima, Johanna reminds us that rejection doesn’t define us; our response does. If you've ever felt unseen, unchosen, or unsure of your next step, this conversation offers gentle truth, real encouragement, and the kind of hope that helps you keep going.Key TakeawaysRejection is something everyone faces—you're not alone.Don’t take “no” personally; it might just be a “not yet” or “not here.”Sometimes rejection is really redirection toward something better.Building resilience is a daily act of choosing to keep going.Small acts of support can spark big transformation in someone’s life.Encouragement can be the turning point for someone struggling.Failure is often the starting line for purpose.Investing in others leaves a lasting legacy.Even when it’s hard—believe in your story.This episode is for anyone who’s heard “no” and wondered if they’re still enough.
