Comment “anxiety” or register using the link in my bio. I’m the perfect person to teach this class. I turned speaking anxiety into two TEDx talks, and panic attacks in the OR to confidence in the OR! See you inside the class.

Self-Concept Retreat Jan 9-11, Cabo — This isn’t a trip, a vacation, or an escape from your life.
It’s an embodiment experience.

Over three days in Cabo, you’ll expand, connect, and rediscover what it means to be in stewardship of your own life and career. This retreat is designed for women surgeons who want to move beyond survival mode and experience what it feels like to show up fully in work, leadership, and life.

We’ll gather in a high-touch, small-group setting that feels intimate and personal. The truth is, we could hold this retreat in the middle of the U.S. and you’d still receive the value of a full year of personal coaching. But we chose Cabo because the ocean, the sunsets, and the beauty of the environment remind us what expansion feels like.

I’ll be facilitating the “From RVUs to Revenue” workshop, where you’ll learn the mindset and strategy to evolve in whatever direction life takes you next.

The investment is $5,000 for ESG members and $7,000 for non-members (includes immediate access/membership to ESG).
Only five spots remain.

Same pre-OR routine for cases. But instead of deciding your day will be challenging, decide it’s going to be smooth and easy. You show up completely differently.

Whether it’s standing on the TEDx stage, launching a podcast, starting a business, becoming a coach, or whatever creative desire lives in your heart, the most common question I hear from the surgeons I coach is, “How do I do that? I would t know where to start.”
My answer: “That’s the wrong question. The right question is who do you have to become?”

I’ll teach you the process to elevate your self-concept at the “From RVUs to Revenue Streams” workshop in Cabo Jan 9-11 at our inaugural women surgeons retreat. Comment “Cabo” if you want to join us (women surgeons only).
