71: A Frank Conversation on Burnout

DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast

“Today you are in for a frank conversation on burnout.” -Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer

In this episode, Coach Jill Farmer leads our founder and CEO, Jen Barna MD and Coach Gabriella Dennery MD in an honest discussion that scratches the surface of their experiences with burnout and what it was that helped them get to the other side. Each has a different story of how it affected them and how a multifaceted approach is needed to result in resolution and moving forward. We hope that this episode will help those experiencing burnout to know there is hope and relief, and will help listeners to know how to identify the signs in themselves and others, and also to know that this is preventable.

There is no stigma. There is no shame to feeling the symptoms of burnout. We’re all in this together.

DocWorking is here to provide a multifaceted approach that meets physicians wherever they are in their journey.

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!
