    How This Doctor is Making Psychiatric Care More Accessible | Britton Ashley Arey, MD

    Most people assume concierge psychiatry is only for the ultra-wealthy. But for Dr. Britton Arey, Founder of South Coast Psychiatry in Orange County, concierge care is about something much deeper. It is about creating the kind of relationship with patients that allows them to feel truly seen, heard, and cared for. In this episode, Dr. Arey takes us through her deeply unconventional journey to medicine, from starting medical school at 19 without a college degree, to stepping away from psychiatry during an existential crossroads and finding her way back through a career in pharma. Eventually, she built a concierge psychiatry practice from the ground up, driven by a simple desire to give her patients the time, connection, and care she believes they truly deserve. We talk about what concierge psychiatry actually looks like in practice, including how patients can recoup 60 to 80% of costs through insurance reimbursement, why Dr. Arey gives her patients her personal cell phone number, and why she believes the heart of great healthcare isn't found in credentials alone, but in genuine human connection. We also explore the Harvard Grant Study, a 70 year longitudinal study of adult life, and the profound lesson at the center of Dr. Arey's approach. The quality of our relationships can shape our health, happiness, and lives in ways we often underestimate. This is a conversation about caring for the whole person, restoring humanity to psychiatric care, and having the courage to build something different when you believe your patients deserve more. Ultimately, it's a story about finding your way back to the work you're meant to do and turning a career into a calling. - - - About Dr. Britton Arey: Dr. Britton Arey is the Founder of South Coast Psychiatry, a Concierge Group Practice in Orange County, CA.

    A Yale-Trained Psychiatrist on Building an Integrative Practice and Finding Her Voice | Zola Quao, MD

    I recently had the opportunity to interview my client, Dr. Zola Quao, a Yale-trained, dual board-certified family physician and psychiatrist, about her journey from conventional medicine into integrative psychiatry and whole-person care. And this conversation went far beyond building a practice. Dr. Quao and I worked together to build her integrative psychiatry practice, and in this episode, we talk about: → Why she chose integrative psychiatry and what she believes is missing from our current healthcare system → The gaps in access to truly whole-person care → Why highly skilled medical professionals can struggle with imposter syndrome, despite everything they have accomplished → Why physicians and healthcare professionals often silence themselves, hesitate to speak up, or underestimate the value of their voice → What happens mentally and physically when we continually suppress the parts of ourselves that want to be expressed → What becomes possible when you finally give yourself permission to step into your expertise, your voice, and your power And then Dr. Quao shares something deeply personal. She opens up about a life-changing experience involving an assault that caused her to silence her voice for a period of her life, and what happened when she finally found the strength to tell her story. Her decision now is not to allow that experience to define her. Instead, she is leveraging her experiences, her medical expertise, and her voice to advocate for people who have experienced assault and to bring greater awareness to the complex dynamics surrounding these experiences. That, to me, is what it means to transform career into calling. Sometimes the thing you are called to build is connected to the very experiences you once struggled to speak about. And sometimes finding your voice isn't just about becoming more visible. It's about becoming more fully yourself. I'm honored to have worked alongside Dr. Quao as she built her practice, and even more honored that she trusted me with this conversation. 🎙️ This is an episode about medicine, whole-person care, imposter syndrome, self-silencing, advocacy, healing, and finding the courage to use your voice. Watch the full conversation and hear Dr. Quao's story.

    Healing Burnout Without Quitting Medicine | Mary Leung, MD

    In this episode of the Recalibrated Vision Podcast™, I’m joined by physician and founder of Shining with Gratitude MD, Dr. Mary Leung, a hematology and oncology physician who has dedicated her work to helping physicians heal from burnout without having to leave the careers they worked so hard to build. Dr. Leung, shares her personal journey through burnout while practicing medicine and the pivotal shift that helped her begin to reclaim her energy, presence, and purpose inside her career. Instead of focusing on what felt out of control, she began to anchor into what was controllable: her mindset, her morning routine, her boundaries, and the way she showed up to her work each day. We talk about the quiet patterns that often drive physician burnout, including perfectionism, over-responsibility, and the pressure to always say yes in order to be seen as a team player. Dr. Leung, offers a grounded perspective on how “done is better than perfect” can become a lifeline in clinical environments, especially when documentation, expectations, and emotional load feel endless. She also shares the deeper work of getting honest about what you actually want. What it looks like to create space in your schedule not as a luxury, but as a necessity. And how to start aligning your time with what matters most, including family, friendships, and your own wellbeing, so you can continue showing up fully for your patients without losing yourself in the process. One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is her reflection on burnout through the image of a candle already burned down, where we keep trying to relight something that has already been depleted. It is a reminder that awareness comes first, and change begins long before a decision to leave medicine is ever on the table. This episode is a must-listen for any physician or high-achieving professional who is feeling the weight of burnout, or who is starting to question what sustainable success in medicine actually looks like. - - Contact: Mary Leung, MD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mary-leung-md-9b52331b4/ Website: https://www.shiningwithgratitudemd.com - - Contact: Bianca Ariel, MBA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancaarielmba/ Website: http://recalibratedvision.com - - Disclaimer: The content provided on this channel is for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only.

    How This Physician is Improving End Of Life Care | Bob Uslander, MD

    Many visionaries do not start by becoming entrepreneurs. They start by noticing a gap that becomes impossible to ignore. After years in emergency medicine, Dr. Bob Uslander reached a point where he could no longer ignore what he was seeing. Like many clinicians, he had the skills, expertise, and lived experience to recognize where the system was falling short, especially in how we approach serious illness and end-of-life care. His transition did not begin with a business plan. It began with exposure. While working within palliative care, he witnessed something both beautiful and heartbreaking. Deeply compassionate healthcare professionals were operating inside a system that often does not allow enough time, clarity, or support for patients and families during life’s most critical moments. That realization became the foundation for his next chapter. Today, through Empowered Palliative Care, Dr. Bob Uslander is helping patients and families navigate serious illness and end-of-life planning with more clarity, dignity, and agency. His work provides practical guidance for advanced care planning, while also creating space for emotional, spiritual, and human-centered support that is often missing in traditional medical settings. More than anything, he is helping people advocate for themselves and their loved ones in a system that can feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate alone. This episode is about what it really looks like to leave a defined medical identity, step into uncertainty, and build something new from what you can no longer unsee. Tune in to hear his journey and how he is helping reshape the way we think about care at the end of life. - - - Connect with Dr. Bob Uslander LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobuslander/ Website: https://empoweredendings.com - - - Connect with Bianca Ariel, MBA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancaarielmba/ Website: http://recalibratedvision.com - - - Disclaimer: This content is created for entertainment purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.

    Psychiatrist Talks The Importance of Finding Your Joy | Nina Joy Mena, MD

    In this conversation, I had the pleasure to chat with Dr. NJoy, a board-certified psychiatrist and author. Along this journey from career to calling, we may encounter so many different emotions and may even question whether or not this is worth it. The key is not to avoid what it is we are feeling but to choose joy regardless of the experience. That's because joy is not a feeling it is a choice and it allows us to fully accept and embrace this experience no matter the circumstance. Choosing joy is ultimately what brings fulfillment and it's so important that we work the muscle in choosing it for ourselves each day. Dr. NJoy also describes her own journey to joy and what triggered her path to enlightment. During the work that I do with my clients, I hear the word "legacy" a lot and that is representative of the path GOD maps out for us honoring those who come before and after us. Dr. NJoy's father gave her the name "Joy" and she continues to use her light to inspire others. Listen in to this amazing conversation and start choosing your joy. Enjoy!

    Surgeon Shares The Importance of Vitality Over Health | Kalpana Sundar, DO

    In this episode of The Recalibrated Vision Podcast, we interview Dr. Kalpana Sundar, a former ENT surgeon who transitioned from owning a successful medical practice to building a life centered on vitality, purpose, and impact. After selling her practice, Dr. Kalpana entered a period of uncertainty that many physicians and high-achieving professionals experience. She explored multiple paths including public speaking, launching a med spa, and podcasting, all while searching for deeper meaning and alignment in her work and life. This conversation focuses on the concept of vitality, which goes beyond traditional ideas of health and wellness. Dr. Kalpana shares how reconnecting with joy, fitness, Muay Thai, and spiritual growth helped her rediscover her inner spark and step into her role as a thought leader in life mastery and personal transformation. We also explore the power of surrender. Not as giving up, but as choosing aligned action instead of forced action. Dr. Kalpana explains how allowing life to unfold created opportunities greater than she could have planned on her own. This episode is especially relevant for physicians, healthcare professionals, and high performers navigating career transitions, burnout, or a desire for more purpose, freedom, and fulfillment. If you are ready to move from career to calling and build a life of joy, wealth, and impact, this episode is for you. - - - Contact Bianca Ariel, MBA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancaarielmba/ Book a 1:1 VIP Session: http://therecalibratedcareeracademy.com - - - Contact Kalpana Sundar, MD LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drkalpanasundar/ Website: https://www.drkalpanasundar.com/ Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/life-mastery-2022/about - - - Disclaimer: This content is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

    How This Psychiatrist Uses Ketamine-Assisted Therapy for Major Life Changes | Eva Altobelli, MD

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eva Altobelli, a psychiatrist who uses ketamine-assisted therapy to help people heal from depression and expand their awareness. We explore the concept of awakenings, how career and life shifts can spark profound changes, and why much of what we react to in life isn’t based on our lived experience. Dr. Altobelli shares how ketamine can help even the most structured-minded individuals open their consciousness and see the world in a completely new way. We also dive into practical insights for entrepreneurs and overthinkers on how to stay grounded, reconnect with your own experience, and navigate the pressures of modern life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed by comparison, or ready for a shift in perspective, this conversation will inspire you to reclaim your mental space, let go of what no longer serves you, and step into your next chapter with clarity. You’ll hear how ketamine-assisted therapy can support mental wellness, including depression and ADHD, and why recognizing the difference between reacting to life and experiencing it firsthand can be transformative. This episode is for anyone seeking greater clarity, perspective, and personal growth. Dr. Altobelli’s insights will help you understand how to reconnect with your lived experience, expand your consciousness, and move forward with intention and purpose. - - - Dr. Eva Altobelli, MD | Integrative Psychiatrist Founder, Home-LA Website: https://home-la.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eva-altobelli-md-210b878/ - - - Bianca Ariel, MBA | Career & Business Strategist | Founder, Recalibrated Vision LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancaarielmba/ - - - Join Our Newsletter https://recalibratedvisionnewsletter.beehiiv.com Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.
