******************************************************************************
This one is personal.
I’m sharing the full story of how I went from a struggling, burnt-out pediatric hospitalist to the founder and CEO of The Doctor Coach School™—in front of the mic on the very podcast I used to binge while walking the halls of the hospital.
Claire Pelletreau, host of the Get Paid Podcast, asked me to be a guest (cue the tears + praise hands), and this conversation goes places I’ve never taken y’all before. We talk money, motherhood, medicine, mastery…and what happens when you decide to stop surviving and start walking in your purpose.
💥 In this episode, we get into:
- 🧠 The exact moment I realized I was internalizing systemic harm—and how that shaped my business.
- 👩🏾⚕️ The trauma of being told “you can’t take off work if your kid is sick” while working Q4s with a newborn.
- ✍🏾 How finding my mother’s unpublished manuscript after her passing lit a fire under me to stop playing small.
- 💰 The messy first year of launching my coaching business (and the $2K decision that changed everything).
- 🧪 My unique, clinical take on sales—and why I treat sales calls like a diagnostic assessment.
- 🧾 The real numbers: what I made in 2020, 2021, and 2022—and how I’m scaling beyond hustle.
🧠 Favorite moment:
The same podcast that gave me the audacity to believe I could build something beyond my white coat…is the one I’m now featured on. (Yes, I cried. No, I’m not sorry.)
