About this listen

 Welcome to CODE CALM with Dr. Melanie Gray, where emergency room precision meets executive leadership. If you're leading through chaos—whether in healthcare, HR, or high-stakes corporate environments—this podcast delivers the medical-grade interventions your nervous system desperately needs.

Host Dr. Melanie Gray, RN with over 20 years in emergency medicine, brings a radically different approach to workplace wellness. Forget mindfulness apps and wellness retreats. This show treats workplace stress as the biological emergency it actually is, offering 90-second protocols proven in trauma units and translated for the boardroom.

Each episode breaks down the neuroscience of leadership under pressure, featuring conversations with executives, healthcare administrators, HR directors, and organizational psychologists who are tired of burnout band-aids and ready for real solutions. You'll discover why your leadership team needs nervous system regulation before strategic planning, how to implement trauma-informed policies that actually retain talent, and what happens when you stop treating employee wellness as an HR problem and start treating it as a medical intervention.

This isn't self-care. This is crisis management for leaders who refuse to let workplace trauma destroy their culture, their teams, or themselves.

Perfect for: Healthcare executives, nursing leaders, HR directors, organizational development professionals, and corporate leaders managing high-stress teams who need evidence-based solutions—not platitudes.Copyright Stacey Chillemi Economics Hygiene & Healthy Living Management Management & Leadership Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Self-Help Success
