Name of show: Compassion & Courage: Conversations in Healthcare

Episode title and number: Mini-Series, Part 5, Reducing Stress


Brief summary:

While the majority of the Compassion & Courage podcast is intended for healthcare professionals, this original six part series is for everyone. These are some of the most profound tools and frameworks I’ve found for overcoming adversity and staying grounded in the moment.  


If you’ve ever gotten caught up in stress (and really, who hasn’t?), it takes intention to get back to baseline. Join Marcus to learn this short acronym that teaches stress management and how to step out of the cycle of stress.


Key topics:

  • [2:20] RAP – “Acronym standing for realize, analyze and prioritize”
  • [2:35] Realize – “Realize that we’re stressed out and feel those feelings…”
  • [2:54] Analyze – “Where are your feelings coming from? Don’t judge, but be curious…”
  • [3:14] Prioritize – “When we have a huge load of things to get done, we can’t do everything at once, but we do have to do the next thing…then the next thing…then the next…”
