145: Why Physician Marriages Have Challenges with Dr. Jeep and Vanessa Naum

“We would take a break every three months and we would travel away with each other. Away from our house, away from the children, away from the animals, to really have that time to reconnect as a couple without distractions.”- Vanessa Naum 

In this episode, Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer talks with Physician Marriage Coaches, Dr. Jeep and Vanessa Naum. They are the owners of Best Friends Again. Best Friends Again is a Physician Marriage Coaching company. Their specialty is in helping physicians and healthcare professionals reignite their marriage through a customized approach based on the unique needs of physician and healthcare professional families. In this conversation, the Naums reveal what inspired them to start Marriage Coaching physicians and healthcare professionals as well as some of the unique challenges people in the medical field face. We also hear about Dr. Naum and Vanessa’s pasts, challenges they have faced in their own marriage, and how they keep their marriage thriving and healthy. They discuss some tried and true tools you can put to use right away for your own relationship.    

The Naum’s own battle-tested physician marriage, generational physician family heritage, and expertise from coaching hundreds of marriages off of the ledge has paved the way for their revolutionary program: 90 Days to Clarity and Connection, a blueprint for guiding healers in healing their own relationships, saving their families, and enjoying their careers.

At DocWorking, our specialty is Coaching 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.

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.
