DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast

Jen Barna, a practicing radiologist, started DocWorking after watching too many of her colleagues burn out in silence. The show treats physician well-being as a serious problem with practical answers, not a vague pep talk. Episodes run about 20 to 40 minutes and pull in coaches, financial planners, wellness experts, and other doctors who have figured out how to make medicine sustainable again. One week you might hear a contract attorney break down the traps in a typical hospital employment agreement. The next, a physician coach walks through how to set limits with administrators without torching your career. Jen keeps the tone warm and grounded. She asks the kind of questions a friend would ask, not a reporter, which is probably why guests open up about things like panic attacks before shifts, frozen savings goals, and the slow creep of resentment at work. There is a real thread running through the show about reclaiming time, protecting your mental health, and treating your career like an asset you actually own. If you are a doctor who feels stuck, overworked, or just quietly wondering if there is a better way to practice, this is a steady voice in your corner. It will not promise a miracle fix. It will give you names, frameworks, and small moves you can try this week.
