Why I Created This Course

I know how hard the start of a career is. New job, new practice, and no one teaching you how the business of medicine actually works. And I know the overwhelm of a demanding job sitting on top of a full personal life.

I have been where you are. I felt the pressure of unclear expectations, the frustration of scattered mentorship, and the exhaustion of trying to excel while keeping a life I loved. Outside of medicine and mentoring, I am a wife and mother who finds joy in bird watching, jigsaw puzzles, and a good bourbon.

Through two decades of mentoring early and mid-career physicians, I have seen too many talented ones struggle at the start. They do not lack skill. They lack a clear plan. I have watched colleagues burn out and lose time with their families while working out the unwritten rules on their own.

That is why I created this course. I want to give physicians like you a clear plan to start strong without sacrificing your time, your energy, or your well-being. You deserve a clear path, and you should not have to figure it out alone.

Real Stories of Transformation

Navigating your first years in practice on your own is slow and frustrating. Limited time, little guidance, and a lot riding on decisions no one prepared you for. You are expected to run a practice, read a P&L, and negotiate a contract, with no blueprint to follow.

There is no done-for-you service that sets up your career for you. Most coaching built for physicians is priced out of reach. I know, because I spent $50,000 on a two-month coaching program and another $15,000 on a physician-run mastermind.

BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY TO FAST-TRACK YOUR SUCCESS WITHOUT DRAINING YOUR RESOURCES?

With the Physician Career Kickstarter, you get a tried-and-true plan I refined over years of mentoring physicians. Learn from my experience to move faster, save time, and avoid costly mistakes, all for $260, normally $1,300.

Ready to shorten your learning curve without draining your resources? This is your chance to invest in a proven system and build a career and a life that hold up.
