  • Ep 56. Building High Performing Healthcare Teams: Dr. Tina Gunaldo on Interprofessional Collaboration, Perfectionism and Patient Care

    Ep 56. Building High Performing Healthcare Teams: Dr. Tina Gunaldo on Interprofessional Collaboration, Perfectionism and Patient Care
    Mar 15 2026

    Healthcare is not perfect. And that is exactly why we need better teams.

    In this insightful conversation, Dr. Amna Shabbir speaks with Dr. Tina Patel Gunaldo, DPT, PhD, MHS, architect of high performing interprofessional teams and nationally recognized leader in collaborative healthcare education and practice. Dr. Gunaldo shares how witnessing her best friend's husband navigate a complex medical journey opened her eyes to the reality that healthcare is messy, imperfect, and full of both errors and opportunities. That lived experience sparked her life's work of building systems where clinicians, educators, and communities truly work better together. She breaks down the critical difference between multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and interprofessional teams, explaining why patient centered care is inherent in interprofessional collaboration. Dr. Gunaldo explores how perfectionism shows up in healthcare teams, why it prevents collaboration, and how being immersed in a team where you actively listen and belong can relieve the pressure to be perfect. She redefines success as finding pleasure in pleasant surprises, giving yourself grace, and leading by sharing knowledge without imposing expectations on others. This conversation is a reminder that healthcare and leadership are journeys, not destinations.

    Ep 55. Perfectionism, Loneliness & how to Practice Connection with TEDx Curator Cara Truitt
    Mar 8 2026
    Connection is both our greatest need and our greatest strength. But in a world where we are more wirelessly connected than ever, why do we feel so alone?In this powerful conversation, Dr. Amna Shabbir, MD speaks with Cara Truitt, entrepreneur, speaker coach, TEDx Sugar Creek Women founder, and community builder, about what it truly means to build authentic connection in a disconnected world. Cara opens up about losing everything in one week, filing for divorce on Monday, bankruptcy on Wednesday, and her sister passing away on Friday, and how walking into a yoga studio became the beginning of her healing journey. She shares how that community gave her the first deep breath she ever took and taught her what it felt like to be enough just as she was. From running that yoga studio through the pandemic to founding TEDx Sugar Creek Women and creating spaces where people can come as they are and leave as more of who they are, Cara has dedicated her life to cultivating connection. She introduces her STOP to Connect framework, a simple yet transformative tool for creating micro moments of intentional connection throughout the day by setting a silent intention, trusting yourself, having an open heart and mind, and preparing to be present. Cara also unpacks how perfectionism, which she calls "fancy fear," shows up in her life and why she has learned to practice awareness without judgment. She redefines success as choosing curiosity over fear, leaning into self trust and intuition, and building the art of showing up authentically instead of chasing external expectations.Episode TakeawaysWhy we live in the most connected world yet feel the most alone, and how the loneliness epidemic is a global health crisisThe STOP to Connect frameworkHow to create micro moments of intentional connection throughout your day without waiting for laterWhy perfectionism is "fancy fear" and how it held Cara back until she learned to practice awareness and compassionHow to redefine success by choosing curiosity over fear, trusting your intuition, and showing up authenticallyAbout Our Guest:Cara Truitt brings over two decades of experience as an entrepreneur, business owner, and community leader in Charlotte, NC.
