MEDA sits down to have a conversation with Lisa Pearl: Heart Labor & Hard Truths.
MEDA and Lisa cover the following topics:
- Lisa’s early advocacy for weight-inclusive, anti-diet care
- The evolution of community: from isolation to interdependence
- Burnout, systemic barriers, and how insurance policies undermine ethical care
- Ageism in the field and why seasoned providers still matter
- The difference between hierarchy and collaboration—and why curiosity must lead
- How we can unlearn oppressive care models and build more inclusive systems
- What it means to do “heart labor” in a field that often underpays and overworks
