This is Recalibrating with Sharee Johnson, where you’ll hear healthcare professionals and others sharing their stories of recalibrating life when the unexpected happened. I'm your host Sharee Johnson, psychologist coach, meditation teacher, author and mother. As a psychologist and coach I've been listening deeply to people’s stories in therapy and coaching for 35 years. I've come to believe two things about people. The first is, having witnessed so many incredible stories of hope, adaptability and human capacity, I truly believe that we are ALL capable of so much more than we think we are. In times of challenge humans have demonstrated that, over and over again. Here on the Recalibrating podcast you will get to hear amazing stories of healthcare professionals and others pivoting, overcoming, and recalibrating their lives. The second thing the research and my experiences as a psychologist have shown me, is that humans need other people, when we have support around us, when we tell each other our stories, when we connect through the reality of living our lives, we do much better than when we pull back and hide what’s really going on for us. On this podcast we are going to unearth and amplify what helps us as humans, individually and collectively to recalibrate in ways that help us change, grow, even surprise ourselves when life throws us a curve ball. We want to talk about the value of change in our lives. This podcast offers healthcare professionals the chance to be inspired and encouraged to meet the unexpected in their life with grace, skills and a belief in their own human capacity. Life is full of opportunities to recalibrate, with the right mindset, the right resources, the right community. Thank you for adding your voice to the conversation, for sharing your stories with us.

    EPISODE 2: Dr. Rob Blum – Leadership, Letting Go, and Living Beyond Medicine

    What happens when the unexpected disrupts your path—and what skills help you navigate through? In this inspiring conversation, oncologist and clinical director Dr. Rob Blum joins Sharee Johnson to explore recalibrating through career pivots, family moves, physical injury, and the evolving demands of medicine. Dr. Blum shares stories of risk-taking, leadership, and resilience, reflecting on the importance of teamwork, music, health, and having options. Together, Rob Blum and Sharee Johnson dive deep into why self-awareness, flexibility, and connection are essential to sustain wellbeing, meaning, and a life beyond just work. Rich with practical takeaways and vulnerable wisdom, this episode encourages listeners to pause, realign, and actively create a life that’s not only robust—but antifragile. “Everything we do has a risk or an unknown component... but you can’t do great things if you don’t take risks.” — Rob Blum Key Takeaways: Recalibrating skills apply to every part of life—work, family, and self. Mindfulness creates a gap between experience and reaction; it isn’t just relaxation, it’s essential for wise decision-making. Prioritizing wellbeing isn’t optional: define what fills your bucket and honor it as non-negotiable. Leadership means letting go, empowering others, and embracing change in yourself. Have options—diverse interests make life richer and make you “antifragile” in the face of curveballs. Support networks and mentors are vital; find people to help you reflect and offer perspective. Embrace imperfection, especially when balancing demanding careers with passions, wellness, and family.

    Episode 1: Dr. Liz Wearne – Navigating Change, Trust, and Purpose

    What if recalibrating your life and career started with listening to your own internal voice? In this debut episode of Recalibrating with Sharee Johnson, Sharee speaks with Dr. Liz Wearne a General Practitioner, educator, board member, and ceramic artist—about trust, wellbeing, creativity, and choosing work that aligns with your energy and values. A thoughtful conversation about slowing down, tuning in, and courageously reshaping your path in healthcare and life. “So I think choosing different roles at different times has been about checking in with myself first and going, do I have the energy for this?” — Dr. Liz Wearne Key Takeaways: Reflect on what matters most to you—internally and externally. Be open to recalibrating your life and career, especially when you notice yearning or restlessness. Cultivate internal and external support systems. Champions, mentors, and community matter. Don’t be afraid of vulnerability or failure; courage and patience are partners in growth. Recognize that rest, creativity, and joy are vital, not just “nice-to-haves.” Mindfulness, values, and presence help anchor you through change. Resources Mentioned: Recalibrate Doctor Care Program: Liz is the co-creator of the Recalibrate program for doctors, designed to support recalibration, wellbeing, and growth in medical practice. Book Recommendation – Say What You Mean by Oren Jay Sofer: Referenced by Liz as foundational for mindful communication and values-based living. TED x PSU, Off Balance on Purpose – The Future of Engagement and Work-Life Balance: Dan Thurmon explores how those patterns can be transcended by living off balance on purpose.
