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.

79: How to Own Your Confidence without Being Arrogant with Kim Bolourtchi
“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.

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.

72: Voices of Medicine's Future with Med Student Rosamaria Dias
“Talk to everyone and make connections. You never know when the person you meet will help you.” -Rosamaria Dias
In today’s episode, we hear from Rosamaria Dias, a medical school student who has just completed her first year. Gabriella talks with her and learns about her struggles and strengths. You will be inspired by her passion for helping those who are underserved, by all the programs she is involved in and their missions, and by the way she sticks to her values and prioritizes what is important to her. Tune in as we get brilliant insight from the upcoming generation of doctors.
Rosamaria’s bio in her own words:
I am a first generation student born in Newark, NJ and raised in Elizabeth, NJ to Portuguese immigrants. This past year, I completed my Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences with a minor in Health and Society at Rutgers New Brunswick, graduating summa cum laude. I just completed my first year at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark where I am involved in the Ironbound Initiative, the Student Family Healthcare Center, and serve as the Community Outreach and Mentorship chair for the Latino Student Medical Association (LMSA). After graduation, I hope to continue to provide access to care to the undocumented/uninsured population and create a comfortable environment for my patients. I also hope to continue to mentor underrepresented students who might not have access to all the resources and continue to empower them towards careers in medicine. Some of my hobbies include working out, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my loved ones.

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.

71: A Frank Conversation on Burnout
“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.

70: Vulnerability and Mixing Art with Medicine with Dr. Mike Natter
“There’s something about that world of graphic medicine where you put it out onto paper, and you still sit with those feelings, but when you close the book or when you have something tangible and you can walk away from it, it does let you digest it in a way that talking about it or ignoring it or sublimating it in some way won’t.” -Mike Natter MD
This beautifully honest conversation between Lead Coach Jill Farmer and physician-artist Dr. Mike Natter delves into how intertwining art and medicine has led to vulnerability, and the unexpected positive results. Dr. Natter is in his second year of fellowship in endocrinology and is also a well recognized very talented artist. Jill talks to Dr. Natter about his art and how it impacts his life and practice of medicine. He used his art in medical school as a learning tool and continues to use his art as a way to learn and help others to learn. He also uses his art as an outlet that is relatable to so many other physicians. Tune in to get inspired to tap into your own talents outside of work.
Michael Natter is an artist, humanist, and doctor. He utilizes his passion for art and storytelling in his medical life in didactic, humorous, and cathartic ways. Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in childhood, he became interested in medicine at a young age. Originally from New York City, he ventured to Philadelphia to attend Sidney Kimmel Medical College, completed his Internal Medicine Residency at NYU/Bellevue and is a current Endocrinology fellow at NYU/Bellevue. His work has been featured in media outlets such as The Philadelphia Inquirer, Annals of Internal Medicine, Buzzfeed, and others. You can follow his journey on instagram @mike.natter, on twitter @mike_natter and via his website www.mikenattermedical.com where there are links to purchase prints of his art and versions of his art in enamel pin form for sale.
