High-Vibe Sundays for Physician Coaches: Dr. Shideh Shafie on Community, Non-Dual Joy, and Right-Dose Medicine

When the “good doctor” script starts to feel too tight—and excitement won’t carry you through the week—what then?

I’m joined by emergency physician, performance coach, and Physician Coaching Summit co-host Dr. Shideh Shafie for a grounded, joyful conversation on High-Vibe Sundays, why community is the evidence you’re not alone, and how to find a right-dose of clinical work that preserves meaning without the martyrdom.

Shideh shares the origin story of High-Vibe Sundays (breathwork, a silent garden walk, and a shared vegetarian meal), how gratitude becomes a gateway to serenity, and why dancing for three minutes before a keynote can shift your chemistry faster than white-knuckling mindset work. Together, we talk non-dual joy (wholeness over either/or), co-regulation, redefining success beyond “leave clinical or bust,” and permission to iterate your season—again and again.

Together, we unpack the pull to sameness in medicine, the relief of finding your people, and a kinder metric of success that honors both meaning and joy.

In this episode, you’ll learn
• How High-Vibe Sundays raises the room: breathwork → presence → shared meal → co-regulation you can feel
• Why serenity lasts longer than spark—and how gratitude opens steadier states you can actually live in
• A practical way to right-dose medicine so meaning stays while over-giving fades
• How to spot the “good doctor” sameness trap—and return to what’s truest for you now
• Why community is evidence (you’re not alone) and a shortcut to sustainable coaching
• Simple movement resets (hello, 3-minute dance party) that shift anxiety before big moments
• A reframing of success for physician coaches that isn’t “leave clinical” or “match your old salary”
• How to expand your capacity (the “bigger vessel” idea) so more light/joy can be received

If you’re a physician coach craving steady energy, real community, and doable rituals that raise the vibe, this conversation is a reframe and a reset.
