Game of Her Own


Oct 13, 2022

When I started in sports 20 years ago, I never saw female team physicians at the Major League level. If they existed, they kept them hidden behind closed doors. It’s part of the reason why I get over the top very excited when I see women team physicians at the Major League level.  

So you can imagine my joy when I got the opportunity to interview Dr. Julie Bruene. 

She’s a sports medicine physician at RUSH and a team physician for the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls, Depaul University, and Trinity International University. 

In this episode of the Game of Her Own podcast, we dive into a lot of mindset challenges that we all face. Dr. B is candid and shares her own experiences and actionable advice.  

Listen in as we talk about: 

  • What she learned about herself and imposter syndrome 
  • The untrue story she made up about how her colleagues viewed her 
  • When she recognized she was self-sabotaging 
  • Why people pleasing can be detrimental to your career 
  • How to avoid ruminating on mistakes you make 

And my favorite….Why you need to surround yourself with people who will call you on your bullshit
