Episode 76: The Pumpkin Spice Latte Theory for Physician Wellness

In this episode, Dr. Junaid explores an unexpected question: why do we let ourselves get excited about a Pumpkin Spice Latte but struggle to build anticipation into our own lives? He unpacks the psychology behind Starbucks’ most successful seasonal drink and turns the lens on physicians and APPs who have become so skilled at deferred gratification that many have forgotten to schedule joy’s arrival. This is about reclaiming the ability to look forward to something for no reason other than that it makes you glad when it arrives. Registration for the upcoming Charting Conquered cohort, which starts September 7th, is open now.
