I’m so lucky to work with women who are building practices with intention—not just hustle. 💫

When one of my Catalyst Studio mentees said,

“Automations are my happy place!”
…I knew she’d found her flow.

In our mentorship, we’re not just talking big-picture vision (though we love a dreamboard moment)—we’re getting tactical. Real systems. Tangible templates. Streamlined strategies that make space for life outside the inbox.

Boundaries, flow, and freedom baked right into your practice.

Because it’s not about juggling everything—
It’s about designing a practice that supports you, not the other way around.

✨ Bonus? She’s also loving the infographics, snippets, and tools inside Catalyst Studio. (Seriously… there are SO MANY THINGS.)

If this sounds like your happy place too, come join us.

The delivered as promised! Sure, I leveled up my coaching and mentoring skills. But more importantly, I made deep and lasting connections with other women changing healthcare. 👑

This is necessary and sacred work. Coaching and mentoring my peers is a career path that I am proud to walk, and I loved seeing how we each had unique modalities and skills to bring to the table.

If you’re wondering what a physician coach can help you do, here’s a smattering of the ways these physician coaches at PCS25 share their skills to help you:

• walk through burnout
• make big decisions
• develop organizational systems
• stop feeling overwhelmed
• pivot your career
• explore hidden passions and hobbies
• align with your values
• handle work/life stress better
• increase your capacitance

I am looking forward to next year’s summit already!

It's impossible to eliminate stress, so let's practice resourcing ourselves well enough to stay creative through it.

This week, I'd like you to ask yourself:
✨ What small daily choice helps you recover faster when stress hits?
✨ Where are you leaking energy in your calendar or self-talk?
✨ How can you create a little more space between the trigger and the spiral?

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a gut-derived hormone naturally secreted from the intestinal after a meal to help stimulate insulin release in digestion.
➡️ Suppresses appetite
➡️ Slows gastric emptying
➡️ Increases insulin release
➡️ Blocks glucacon release

🙌 Here are some SUCCESS TIPS:
👨‍👩‍👦 Rule out contraindications first: personal or family history of pancreatitis, medullary thyroid cancer or multiple endocrine neoplasia. Use caution if history of gastroparesis or severe acid reflux
✅ Check baseline metabolic labs (liver and kidney)
🥦 Prioritize fibrous vegetables and protein first so you don’t get malnourished. Make sure you’re getting enough calories per day!
🛌 Take at bedtime to minimize side effects (if diabetic, take in the morning for best efficacy)
🗓 Maintain a steady state and don’t lapse more than 7 days off medication
👀 Measure body composition with a monthly body scan instead of pounds on a scale. This helps keep track of muscle maintenance so your weight loss comes from fat (not muscle wasting) so you can benefit from dose adjustments.
🍪 Limit sugar and fast food to help lower the side effects of nausea and diarrhea
💧 Stay hydrated to keep your urine pale yellow
😴 Keep regular sleep/wake times to help your body maintain a healthy circadian rhythm

As Catalysts, we give ourselves permission to prioritize self-expression, curiosity and creativity as vital, and I hope you give yourself permission to color outside the lines as well!

Whether it’s a gym, a course, or a medical practice, we all remember when a welcome felt warm and when it didn’t.

Every onboarding experience tells a story about how we value people.

I’m asking you to reflect on that first impression: what was missing, and how can you bring that awareness into the way you welcome your patients?

The best onboarding experiences don’t just inform, they invite.

Learn how to design your own trauma-informed welcome that truly helps patients feel seen and supported.
