Thriving in ScrubsAuthor: Abigail Ford Winkel MD, MHPE, Annie Robinson MS, CHWC, and Aubrie-Ann Jones
Thriving is not the absence of adversity, but rather a result of what we learn after we stumble. On this podcast, we examine how working as health professionals strengthens us by challenging us. By recounting experiences of embracing struggle, finding meaning, and celebrating triumph, our stories will foster a sense of shared humanity and act as a reminder that we are not alone.

Season 4 Episode 2: The Science of Hope
Episode 2
Tuesday, 8 September, 2026
In this episode, we explore hope through the lens of science with Dr. Deepti Anbarasan, a psychiatrist, neurologist, and medical educator. We examine what hope is from a neurological and psychological perspective, how it shapes our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, and why it is essential for both patients and healthcare professionals. Drawing on her experiences caring for patients and mentoring physicians in training, Deepti offers practical and deeply human insights into cultivating hope during times of uncertainty. From the brain science of hope to the idea of ""borrowing"" and sharing hope with one another, this conversation reminds us that hope is more than optimism—it's a powerful force that can sustain individuals and strengthen our connections to each other. Interview and Commentary: Annie Robinson and Abigail Ford Winkel Editing: Abigail Ford Winkel Sound Engineering: Greg Dorsainville
