In this powerful episode of LightBody Radio, Dr. Lara May sits down with Joe Sherman, MD — a pediatrician with over 35 years of experience and now a transformational coach and consultant for physicians and healthcare organizations. Joe shares his deeply personal journey of facing burnout while serving underserved and medically complex children across the U.S. and abroad, including in Uganda and Bolivia.
After stepping away from clinical practice, Joe embarked on a transformative path of self-discovery that led him to reclaim his authentic voice and redefine his purpose. Now a Master Certified Physician Development Coach and a trained facilitator with the Center for Courage and Renewal, Joe is dedicated to helping other physicians navigate career transitions, leadership development, and provider well-being.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, leader, or someone seeking meaningful career alignment, this episode offers rich insight into healing, purpose, and how to build a sustainable life in service.
