DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast. Doctors devote their lives to caring for others, but the time has come to prioritize the health and wellness of physicians. As physicians, we make decisions every day about how to prioritize our time, energy, focus, attention, and money. Our lives are in our own hands. But are we making these as conscious choices or are we satisfied with speeding through life in default mode? Hosts Jen Barna MD, Coach Gabriella Dennery MD and Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer interview physicians to explore ways to embrace life AND a medical career, some who’ve chosen a path less traveled and others who have optimized their lives on a traditional medical career path. As coaches from the DocWorking team, Gabriella and Jill discuss actionable tips from their experience coaching physicians. We also invite guests on business, leadership, building financial independence, and other pertinent topics to physicians. If you’re a physician, we want to hear your story! Please email Jen Barna at podcast@docworking.com to be considered. Want to learn more? https://www.DocWorking.com

“How can I use my time because it is the only thing I cannot get back. I cannot make time. So finding the best way to spend that is actually an active adventure for me right now.” -Lisa Johnson-Pratt MD
In this episode, Gabriella talks with fellow Howard University School of Medicine graduate, Dr. Lisa Johnson-Pratt, about her remarkable and successful career path as a physician, and the pivots she has made throughout, taking Dr. Johnson-Pratt all over the world, including China and Vietnam.

Working in the medical field is fulfilling but it can also be exhausting. Physicians often sacrifice their personal time to carry out their duties. They want to go on vacations, start passion projects, or start side businesses but finding the time seems impossible. Recently, more and more physicians are giving outsourcing a try. Outsourcing allows you to delegate tasks to virtual assistants so you can free up your time and finally do whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do.

“Actually, a key part of my mission with DocWorking is (for) physicians to get themselves into a safe space where they feel that they have an amount that will cover their bases if they need to leave for some reason or if they choose to leave. That would give them a sense of security so that when they choose to work, at that point, it’s a choice.” -Jen Barna MD
In this episode, Jen talks with Tim and Amy Rutherford of GoWithLess about FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early), or as Jen calls it, FIORE ( Financial Independence with the Option to Retire Early), and being international nomads. If you’re interested in the FIRE movement, have thought about retiring early or having that option, or have ever thought about living outside the box, this is the episode for you. Tim and Amy tell us all about how a trip to a life insurance agent put them on the FIRE path and led to them leaving their corporate jobs and selling their giant home. And guess what? They are happier and living better than ever. Tune in to hear all the details on how they make it work.

Wednesday Aug 25, 2021
Wednesday Aug 25, 2021
“The achievement wasn’t what they really wanted, it was something inside. A sense of, as you said, fulfillment, meaning, contentment, service.” -Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer
In this episode, Coaches Gabriella and Jill walk us through the important difference between achievement and success and why that difference matters in our lives. The DocWorking Coaches explain why sometimes achieving our goal doesn’t feel as fulfilling as we expected.

81: How to Overcome Isolation, Prevent Physician Burnout, and THRIVE with Dr. Jen Barna
Wednesday Aug 18, 2021
Wednesday Aug 18, 2021
“I think a lot of times, in our minds we think we have this personal, big problem and that we are the only ones who have it, and so we’re embarrassed to admit it and we’re embarrassed to talk about it. But when you realize, ‘Oh, everybody has this problem,’ suddenly it doesn’t seem like as big of a problem anymore.” Dr. Jen Barna MD
In this episode, Coach Jill Farmer sits down with DocWorking’s Founder and CEO, Dr. Jen Barna for an honest and sincere conversation about why she created DocWorking. Dr. Barna is a board certified practicing radiologist and a visionary entrepreneur. She talks about the struggles she has faced balancing life and medicine, how she came to realize she was not alone, and how the transformation she experienced with professional coaching combined with recognition of the importance of community led to DocWorking THRIVE.
DocWorking THRIVE was created for doctors based on all the things doctors have told us they wanted. It is designed to accommodate the already overloaded physician’s schedule while providing ongoing group coaching, self paced courses and a strong physician community facilitated by our experienced coaching team, many of whom are physicians themselves.
Dr. Barna’s subspecialty is breast imaging, and she practices in the northeastern US since 2006. She earned her medical degree and completed her Diagnostic Radiology residency at the University of Tennessee School of Medicine. She earned a masters degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Washington University in St. Louis, and her undergraduate degree from Stony Brook University in New York. Her business experience includes several startups, including Qelse (https://www.qelse.shop) an e-commerce boutique that creates designer walker/mobility bags, stroller bags and caddies.

79: How to Own Your Confidence without Being Arrogant with Kim Bolourtchi
Friday Aug 13, 2021
Friday Aug 13, 2021
“When we attempt to say, ‘I’m not like this other person, therefore, I don’t have the right to be confident.’ We sell ourselves short.”
In this episode, Coach Jill Farmer talks with Kim Bolourtchi about all things confidence! Most of us can agree confidence is a powerful attribute for a physician. But, when does it become over-confidence? Many physicians have had experiences with arrogant colleagues or bosses. That can create a boomerang effect where doctors shrink from their power in order to avoid looking like an arrogant jerk. University professor, attorney and confidence coach Kim Bolourtchi has great ideas for better understanding how to stand in your confidence and power without being arrogant or haughty. Tune in for some tips on how to look and feel more confident today!
Kim Bolourtchi’s career has included practicing law, teaching public speaking and organizational and professional communication to college and graduate students, Latin dancing competitively, creating a wildly successful program that empowers others to express confidence under pressure, guiding businesses to create thriving cultures, and mentoring professionals in finding passion, purpose, and a path to happiness. Her book "Truly Inspired: Secrets for Finding Extraordinary Success at Work," is a roadmap for rising professionals in all stages of life and career transition, and her newest program, UNMUTED, is teaching College students how to blast past the biggest obstacles to success.
Kim has worked in Big Law, boutique law firms, managed a thriving immigration practice, and served as the Director of Leadership and Professional Development for a Top 20 law school. She is a top-rated professor at Maryville University, and has been extensively involved in communication, leadership training and personal and professional development for over twenty years. She also hosts the weekly podcast " Boldly Stated."

Take Back Your Time: Get a Virtual Assistant
Working in the medical field is fulfilling but it can also be exhausting. Physicians often sacrifice their personal time to carry out their duties. They want to go on vacations, start passion projects, or start side businesses but finding the time seems impossible. Recently, more and more physicians are giving outsourcing a try. Outsourcing allows you to delegate tasks to virtual assistants so you can free up your time and finally do whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do.

At DocWorking, our specialty is Coaching Physicians. We bring an exceptional experienced team to Coach Physicians to achieve the Best in Life and Medicine.
Doctors devote their lives to caring for others. But does that mean they must sacrifice their own health and wellbeing? Absolutely not!
At DocWorking, we have developed a unique way to embrace it all.
The caring for others that you do so selflessly AND the caring for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY that you crave in order to bring it all into the perfect balance specific to YOU.
What if we told you that you CAN have it all? The career you dreamed of when you decided to become a doctor AND the life outside of medicine that you desire?
DocWorking empowers physicians to get back on the path to achieving their dreams.
At DocWorking, we understand the tug between life and medicine–a desire to make an impact through your specialized skills but a longing for more time to prioritize your own dreams and ambitions.
We understand because we are a team of physicians and experienced coaches who have been successfully coaching physicians for more than 10 years.
Professional coaching is transformational. Elite athletes, award-winning actors and top-performing executives all know this, which is why they embrace coaching to achieve such extraordinary success. Smart leaders leverage the power of coaching to achieve outcomes that are meaningful, measurable, and attainable. Physicians definitively benefit from coaching, and we are here to provide the best of the best.
It’s Time to Prioritize the Health and Wellness of Physicians! DocWorking is here for you.
Our Coaches Will Show You How!
