Are You a Woman in Healthcare Who’s Hard on Herself —
Even When You’re Doing Your Best?
In the fast-paced, high pressure world of healthcare, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself — your needs, your boundaries, and your voice. You’re highly skilled, deeply compassionate, and driven by purpose — yet you may still carry the weight of self-doubt, relentless inner criticism, and emotional exhaustion.
​
Does any of this sound familiar?
​
-
You hold yourself to impossibly high standards, believing perfection is the only path to respect or worth.
-
You silence your own needs while caring for others, assuming there’s no room for vulnerability in leadership.
-
You judge yourself harshly when things don’t go as planned — even though you’re giving your all.
-
You compare your leadership journey to others’ and still feel like you’re falling short.
-
You long to lead yourself with more authenticity and connection, but you’re unsure how without feeling exposed or weak.
The truth is when we’re critical and disconnected from ourselves, it subtly bleeds into how we lead, communicate, and relate to others.
Research shows that the more judgmental we are toward ourselves, the more distant and disconnected we become — both at work and at home.
​
That’s why I created this workshop: to give women in medicine and dentistry a safe, supportive space to quiet the inner critic and reconnect with the grounded, compassionate leader within.
You’ll walk away with practical tools and embodied practices that transform how you lead — at work, at home, and in your relationship with yourself.
What We’ll Explore Together
Meet Your Inner Critic
Understand how the “inner critic” — shaped by early experiences and reinforced by the culture of healthcare — shows up in your day-to-day life. Begin recognizing the subtle ways it shapes your decisions, leadership style, and even how you care for yourself.
​
How to Quiet the Inner Critic
Learn how to shift out of self-judgment and into a grounded, supportive inner dialogue — one that strengthens your confidence, emotional well-being, and leadership impact.
​
Experiential Tools for Real Change
Engage in guided, evidence-based practices designed to create real internal shifts — not just insights. Through interactive exercises and meaningful conversations, you’ll build skills you can immediately apply in your work, your relationships, and your daily life.
​
Connection With Like-Minded Women
Leadership growth doesn’t happen in isolation. Share reflections and insights in a supportive space with other women who understand the unique pressures of healthcare — because transformation is deeper when we do it together.
