Dr. Joan Liman: Healing Bodies and Healing Hearts

Episode 22: February 18, 2026



Healing doesn’t always happen in a doctor’s office. Sometimes it happens on a stage, through sto

ry, music, or the courage to begin again. Dr. Joan Liman is a physician, public health leader, producer, and performer whose journey took her from healing bodies in medicine to healing hearts through the performing arts. After holding senior leadership roles in medical education and hospital administration, she retired from medicine and stepped into a powerful second act—producing off-Broadway shows, performing in community theater, and telling her own story through her musical memoir, A LimanAde Life.

Also in this episode, Pamela Martorana, a licensed professional counselor and founder of Kinderkamack Counseling, explores how we can nurture both our mental and heart health, and Dr. Irfan Admani, chief of Cardiology at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, talks about how we can maintain heart health.
