Imperfect Dad MD Podcast with Dr Jeremy Toffle

The role of dad has changed for the 21st century physician father. With that comes different expectations compared to the physician dads before us. With so much changing, where do we turn to to get answers about how to be the dad we always expected ourselves to become? This podcast is designed with the physician dad in mind. I am Dr Jeremy Toffle, physician, husband, father to two boys, and self proclaimed imperfect dad. Through my own struggles as a parent, I have come to find that there are several key core foundations that make up who we are as a parent; if we chose to improve these core foundations, we can strive to be the father we always expected to be. Join me in this show as I discuss each of these core foundations as well as interview experts in various fields of these same principals. I also discuss dad life with new and experienced dads, helping us rediscover what it means to be a dad in the 21st century as a physician and learn to embrace our imperfections along the way. This is the Imperfect Dad MD Podcast

Physician Coaching with Dr Michael Hersh

April 06, 2022 • Doctor Podcast Network • Episode 112

It seems like the topic of "Life Coaching" has become more prevalent the last two years, mostly in part due to the pandemic. Many people were feeling lost, unsure of who they are or what they wanted, which typically leads individuals to searching for help.

In medicine, however, physicians have been feeling the sense of feeling lost and helpless much longer. Burnout has been a major topic within all medical fields for the last decade at least, with a strong emphasis on life at work, life at home, physician depression and anxiety, etc. However, when someone approaches you as a Life Coach stating they want to help you, yet they have absolutely NO IDEA what it is to be a physician, let alone go through burnout themselves, it is hard to assume they are going to be any help.

This is where physician coaches come into play. These are physicians who have put the time and effort into being certified to be life coaches (as well as going through coaching themselves) all while working their normal doctor jobs.

One such physician life coach is Dr Michael Hersh. He is a gastroenterologist, father, husband, and physician coach at Better Physician Life Coaching. He coaches physicians on life balance, goal setting, money mindset, self-confidence, and relationships. You can learn more about him at his website at www.betterphysicianlife.com

Listen in today as we talk about what got HIM into coaching, how it has benefited not only him as a doctor but ALSO a father, and how you can check it out as well.

He also gives a LOT of pearls of wisdom on helping your kid deal with worry and other thought processes, so you don't want to miss this one!
