I am here to support you.
I am a working mom. I know what it is to be pulled in a thousand different directions. I know what it feels like to give all day at work and then keep giving more at home. I have struggled with mom guilt, with trying to find a work-life balance.
I am a female physician. I know what it is to go through under grad, medical school, residency training and fellowship all to get to the end, look up and wonder, is this it? Spending my 20’s and some of my 30’s trying to prove myself in a male dominated world. Trying to make myself small but also stand up for myself.
I am an athlete. I have trained for marathons, I have done yoga, pilates, barre and when I couldn’t run, I learned to swim and cycle. I have had multiple injuries and done a TON of physical therapy for my knee, my shoulder, my hands, my hip.
I have struggled with infertility. I have felt the fear and uncertainty of not knowing if I could have my own children. And I know what it is to lose a pregnancy.
I am a woman. I know what it is to be overlooked, underestimated and not taken seriously. I know what it’s like to feel like you have to prove yourself.
The truth is, you don’t have to prove yourself. You are perfect exactly as you are.
I can’t wait to help you discover that.
Why did I scale back from medicine?
In one word: perfectionism.
Which led to burnout. However, I take part of the blame. It wasn’t just the high demand, long hours, never ending work load, tedious paperwork and lack of control on my day to day. A huge part of it was actually my fault. I had to learn that I was (and still am in ways) a pathologic perfectionist.
Perfectionism doesn’t sound so bad on the surface, but it eats away at you from the inside. I had to find a way out. At first I thought I had to leave, I didn’t see any other way. Then I discovered coaching. It was time to turn that frustration into curiosity. I had to get curious about what I was feeling and thinking. Why was this not working for me?
That’s where coaching fit in so perfectly. Not only has coaching helped me work through my perfectionism and understand why I was so burnt out, but it has also helped me have more clarity and joy in every other aspect of my life. I know it can help you too.
