From Pissed Off to Poised- A Podcast for Busy Women Professionals

This podcast is designed to help overcommitted women, physicians, and 
professionals move from being reactionary—often feeling anger and 
resentment—to becoming more intentional and responsive. The goal is to 
help you enjoy life while still getting everything that needs to be done, 
done. 

In this show, we’ll dive deep into how to shift from reacting to responding 
when it comes to anger, while recognizing that the first step to making a change is building our awareness. I’ll also share practical tips on how to say "yes" only to what truly matters to you and create a calendaring system that works—one that honors your commitments to both yourself and others. 

As a retired pediatrician, the co-founder of Virginia iSpine Physicians, and 
a trauma informed certified mindset coach I have navigated multiple career transitions in life and am still evolving as I apply these concepts in other areas with grace and vulnerability. I want to share what I have learned over the years so that you can start to create more peace in your day to day life, 
as you begin to shift from reaction to response.
