In this episode of Sound of Breaking Glass, host Hristina Vaceva speaks with Dr. Leah Murray - a former emergency physician turned integrative health practitioner - about what it means to stop overriding your body’s signals and begin a deeper journey back to balance.After facing a personal health crisis and burnout on the frontlines of traditional medicine, Leah began to question the systems she was taught to believe in. Her own healing journey became the foundation for a new way of working — one that blends scientific knowledge with deep inner awareness.Together, we explore how burnout can become a powerful invitation to change, why slowing down is sometimes the most radical act of leadership, and how listening to the body can lead us back to the life that truly fits.Key Topics:Listening to the Body’s Wisdom: How illness and fatigue can guide career and life decisions.Redefining Success: Letting go of the titles and expectations that no longer serve.Healing as Leadership: What it means to hold space for others after doing the work yourself.Integrative Medicine: How Leah blends clinical training with a deep commitment to integrative, trauma-informed care.Finding Purpose in Life and at Work: A raw, hopeful look at what’s possible when we honour our own wellbeing first.This conversation is for anyone standing at a career crossroad, wondering if there’s another way. Leah’s story is a beautiful reminder that the end one path can be the fresh new beginning you needed - just what the doctor ordered!🔗 Learn more about Leah’s work:https://drleahmurray.co.za/https://backtobalancehealth.co.uk/Instagram: @drleahmurray🔗 Join Hristina's community:Instagram: @lifewelllived.by.hvLinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/sound-of-breaking-glass
