In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the NASGP podcast The art of GP locuming, Richard talks to Dr Amrita Sen Mukherjee — GP, wellbeing advocate, and founder of Your Wellbeing Doctor — about her extraordinary journey through medicine, motherhood, illness, and identity.
Amrita shares how the challenges she faced during her GP training, including living with a hidden disability, ultimately led her to discover the concept of post-traumatic growth — transforming adversity into a purposeful new direction. She speaks candidly about the systemic pressures within general practice, the cultural barriers to self-compassion in medicine, and how she now supports other doctors through coaching, advocacy and education.
This wide-ranging conversation offers GPs a moving reminder that it’s not weakness to struggle — and that growth often begins with self-kindness.
