What's your business, and who are your customers?
I help physicians overcome medical malpractice and find their peace, confidence, and joy back. I help them step back into their greatness as a physician.
Tell us about yourself
Several years ago, I was hit with a medical malpractice lawsuit. I felt shame, loneliness, anger, doubt, fear, and helplessness. I tried many things to heal and as they say, "just get over it." But nothing seemed to work until I decided to get help and invest with a life coach. Which, of course, I thought wouldn't work and was not really my thing. BUT it was the one thing that showed me how to regain my power. I learned the tools to overcome the anger, fear, isolation, shame, and self-doubt that were ever-present. I was able to control my intrusive thoughts and the fight or flight emotional roller coaster that occurs when getting sued. I was able to find peace and confidence again before my lawsuit ended.
After getting RESULTS, I woke up one day knowing I had to help other physicians going through the same thing. We are a profession that mixes up who we are with what we do, and the personal and moral injury that occurs after a lawsuit can be devastating. I am so passionate about this. I am motivated every day by the testimonies of all the physicians I have helped.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Taking my pain and turning it into a purpose. Helping others to be able to step back into their greatness and knowing what incredible physicians they are.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Doing things that are uncomfortable and when you don't feel like it.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Follow your passion.
- Believe in yourself - work on this daily.
- Hire a coach.
