I am an executive coach who empowers high-achieving professionals to elevate their leadership, embrace transitions, and thrive through change.

Change is hard, especially for high achievers who hold themselves to exceptionally high standards and value stability while often grappling with fear of failure.  

However, transitions don’t have to be daunting. Coaching can provide the tools and mindset to confidently navigate change with purpose and joy.

As your coach, I will partner with you through life's twists and turns, transforming these transitions into opportunities for growth and fulfillment. Through one-on-one coaching and tailored leadership development programming, I foster holistic personal and professional growth through every step of the journey.

My Story:

My story is filled with many unique chapters. In short, over the course of my career I’ve been a consultant, physician, military officer, healthcare leader, medical education leader, and professional coach -- often wearing three or more of these hats at the same time. Along the way, I’ve found the most joy in providing inspiring leadership through change and helping high-achieving individuals successfully navigate transitions and challenges. I look forward to utilizing my deep expertise in leadership, professional development, and coaching to help you elevate your leadership and thrive through change.

Today marks 13 years of marriage to my husband, Nealanjon (Neal) Das.

Our origin story breaks every workplace romance rule. He was my attending during residency, though the dynamic was far from romantic — I actually considered him the second scariest attending in the entire program. We didn’t start dating until after I graduated and stayed on as staff, and we fell in love against the backdrop of Hawaii.

But this post isn’t about how we met. It’s about a moment that changed everything.

During COVID, when I was physically and emotionally depleted but still pushing through, Neal had the courage to tell me I wasn’t OK. He also suggested I try the free physician peer coaching offered through my institution.

That one conversation opened the door to getting the support I needed and eventually led me to my purpose in coaching.

If not for that suggestion, I doubt I would have sought help on my own. The physician mentality of pushing through at all costs, never showing weakness, and always putting work and patients first, was deeply ingrained — even as a leader who regularly suggested wellbeing resources to others.

Over the years, we’ve navigated two children, two cats, seven moves, parental illness, breast cancer, a craniotomy, six job changes, and two major career transitions, and I can’t imagine a more supportive partner every step of the way.

In leadership circles, we celebrate mentors and sponsors, but we rarely acknowledge the partners who make our work possible — the ones who see us clearly even when we can’t see ourselves, and love us enough to tell us hard truths.

Neal, I’m grateful for you beyond words. Here’s to lucky 13 and many more.

𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝗽.

After a few days of recovery and reflection, I’m finally putting words to an unforgettable weekend.

Our inaugural 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘞𝘢𝘺 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 brought eleven women physicians together from across the country, representing different specialties and career stages, for a meaningful blend of leadership development, well-being, and community in Chadds Ford, PA.

When Diane W. Shannon, MD, MPH and I created this retreat, our guiding intention was this: 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘥, 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵. And based on what participants shared, many did.

The magic happened in the small group conversations, the honest stories shared over meals, and the space to pause and reconnect with what matters most. Many participants shared that they left with more clarity, stronger boundaries, new tools, and renewed confidence. Perhaps most powerfully, they left feeling part of a supportive community of women physicians and reminded that they aren’t alone.

To the remarkable women who joined us, thank you. Your openness and generosity shaped the entire experience. And sincere thanks to the Fairville Inn, InJest Events, and Laura Robinson for helping bring this retreat to life.

We’re already planning the next Lead Your Way Retreat for October 2026 at the same location. ✨ If you want priority updates as we finalize plans, feel free to reach out.

“𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱.”

I recently caught up with a former coaching client, a woman physician I worked with nearly three years ago as she was preparing to negotiate a new contract. Back then, we focused on the fundamentals: knowing what she wanted, asking for it clearly, and trusting her own value.

Fast forward to today. Because of a family move, she needed to navigate another job transition. When we spoke a few months ago, I encouraged her to consider building in some time off between roles (if financially feasible) to create space for her and her young family to settle and reset.

She confidently negotiated for that and so much more, including:
✔️ A start date of her choosing, with several months off in between
✔️ A significantly higher salary than the initial offer
✔️ A signing bonus
✔️ An administrative role and title with protected time to do it well

She was glowing as she shared the news and expressed gratitude for the groundwork we laid together years ago.

She used the skills she built through coaching to design the job that fits the season she’s in now.

That’s the staying power of coaching: an empowered mindset, tools that last, and a career built with intention.

Last Tuesday, my 12-year-old daughter was almost hit by a car while crossing to her bus stop. The stop sits on a busy road with poor visibility, made even more challenging by recent construction that has changed traffic patterns near our home. Needless to say, it was a frightening moment for both of us.

At 7:30 a.m., I called the school. By pure chance, the 6th grade principal, Ms. Katie King, picked up. She listened, empathized, and immediately connected me with the district’s transportation director, Mr. Tom Jenkins.

When I couldn’t reach Mr. Jenkins by phone, I sent an email. At 4:30 p.m., he called me back, agreed the situation was unsafe, and took immediate action. By the next morning, the bus stop had been moved to the end of our driveway.

Two days later, Ms. King followed up to express her concern and make sure everything had been resolved.

Listening, empathy, decisive action, accountability, follow through, and strong communication skills were present in every step of this experience.

The entire situation left my daughter feeling safe, our family feeling heard, and me grateful to be part of a district where compassionate, responsive, values-driven leadership isn’t just talked about – it’s practiced and role modeled.

I am proud to be part of Kennett Consolidated School District and so appreciative of the leadership team at Kennett Middle School.

Last January, my family bought this “unplug” box on Etsy. We came up with the tagline together: 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘞𝘪-𝘍𝘪.

It’s been sitting on a shelf most of the year, but that phrase has become our family code for “Put down the device and be present with us.”

On a recent Saturday, I set an intention to be more present, so we finally put the box to use and ended up having an impromptu digital detox.

What unfolded felt almost magical and reminded me that connection doesn’t always require more time — just more intention.

As an Ambassador, I’ve seen the impact they make through meaningful advocacy, education, and efforts to remove the stigma around help-seeking.

If you're looking to give today, I hope you'll consider this important mission. Because when we care for the people who care for us, we strengthen the entire foundation of healthcare.

𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻?
You might not need more hours — you might need stronger boundaries.

I’ve had boundaries on the brain this week. They’ve come up in multiple coaching sessions and were also a key theme in my recent leadership retreat.

When the topic arises, it can feel a little nebulous. Here’s how I frame it with clients:

Boundaries aren’t about shutting people out. They’re about giving yourself permission to decide who and what gets access to your energy.

𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂:
→ Protect your well-being and mental space
→ Strengthen relationships through mutual respect
→ Increase focus and effectiveness at work
→ Build confidence and strengthen your leadership presence

Without them, we risk resentment, overcommitment, and exhaustion.

𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁?
Pay attention to the moments when you feel resentful or emotionally drained. Those feelings are data points — clues indicating where a boundary may be missing or unclear.

The goal isn’t to build walls; it’s to open doors with intention.

My passion is to help clinicians in healthcare rediscover their why and their mission in order to level up in their personal and professional lives.

I discovered the power of coaching during the pandemic and became a Certified Professional Coach specializing in energy leadership.

What is energy leadership? Energy is what we bring when we have the capacity to be the fullest expression of ourselves. Energy influences how we show up in the world and how we show up as a leader. We all lead all the time.

I believe everyone on the healthcare team can benefit from a coach: physicians, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, executives, management, OT/PT, nutritionists, RT! Imagine a healthcare team and system that actually works for you, the frontline clinician, rather than setting you and your colleagues up for burnout?

Together, we can and will transform healthcare.

Today, I completed one of the hardest things I’ve done in my business and in my creative life.

Today, I completed a 30-day LinkedIn Video Challenge
Here are my 3 biggest wins: 😊 
1. I was able to engage and meet lovely new individuals here on Linked In
2. I showed up for myself and did the work.
3. I took the time to get more comfortable and clear on video.
But it wasn’t the easiest thing to do.

The most challenging thing I encountered within the 30-day challenge was:
🔴 Fitting in some time to get the video done, edited, and posted.
🔴 Making it a priority on top of all the other things I do: meeting with clients, clinical shifts, academic administrative work, being a mom, working out.
🔴 Figuring out tech: lapel microphone, Captions app, Descript video editing.

It’s in the action of learning where the confidence comes from.

Believe it or not, this is my 3rd 30-day video challenge. 

What was different this time?
🙋‍♀️ I raised my hand for feedback.
✋ I didn’t make excuses: I showed up for the morning huddle and even showed up from my Peloton bike without makeup.

❓ What’s next for me?
🔵 Maintaining talking to all of you on video: 
I love engaging with you in this way! 
I read all your messages and in the DMs. 
Thanks for connecting, introducing, engaging, and sharing. 
Together, we can transform healthcare, one person at a time.®
🔵 More LinkedIn/ medTHRIVE® Connect Live Events: Next Challenge accepted. Don’t worry! I’ll let you know all about them here.
🔵 Getting ready for our many offerings for the different ways we help healthcare professionals:

Did you know we have:
🔵 medTHRIVE® Connect: our free area on the Circle app/ software where we host quarterly book clubs and monthly events on topics relevant to wellbeing for healthcare professionals

🔵 medTHRIVE®: our paid private group coaching community for healthcare professionals wanting to level up their leadership + wellbeing (Transform Health Relationships Inspire Vision & Energy)

🔵 medThriving Virtual Summit: in collaboration amazing other lifestyle medicine, relationship, and health coaches who are all healthcare professionals helping healthcare professionals (Get your early bird VIP ticket by December 1!)

It's no wonder that I resonated immediately when I met the incredible Amy Lafko.

It's an honor and pleasure to collaborate with a healthcare leader that is aligned with values and mission to keep people first, front and center.
We totally agree.

I help high-performers access presence and flow - the mental states where peak performance and better living actually happen

The happiest people don't have more.

They notice more.

The unhappy billionaire has it all:
The jet
The cars
The mansion

But if they never notice the good in their life,
they’ll still feel poor.

I’ve travelled to places where people have very little
yet seem far happier than most in London.

Why?

Because they notice the good they do have:
Their friends and family
Their health
Their meals

This isn't just "positive vibes".
It’s neuroscience.

The more you focus on something 
(especially with emotion),
the more your brain will notice it. 

Focus on what’s wrong,
and you’ll spot more of it.

Focus on what’s right,
and your brain will find more to appreciate.

The good news?
It's never too late to retrain your brain.

Here's how:
Think of 3 good things you have.
Really feel the thanks.

Can't think of any?
Think of 1 bad thing you don't have.
Really feel the thanks for being spared that. 

Thich Nhat Hanh called this
being grateful for "the non-toothache".

There’s always something to be grateful for:
Something you have
Or something you’ve been spared.

Train your brain
To notice it today.

What's one thing you're grateful for?
Share below- it might inspire someone else.
