MY FIRST 24
12 Week Coaching Program For Community-Minded Physicians
11hrs of AAFP Prescribed CME credit
(equivalent to 11hrs of AMA PRE Category 1 CME Credit)
MY FIRST 24 Mission
To help mission-driven female physicians get the life and relationships they want without sacrificing their time, energy, their service, or financial goals. I do this by helping them build community, nurture their self-confidence, take back control, set healthy boundaries, improve their relationships, remember how to dream, and get organized so that they can accomplish everything they want to in life. That's what MY FIRST 24 is all about! I'm the rocket ship. You decide where to go!
Your Life Can Change!
Why Coaching For Physicians?
Because they didn't teach us in med school how to navigate the tug-a-war of career vs family and patient care vs self-care!
Other resources, including therapy, can be helpful but I've had numerous clients say that coaching with me has been more effective for them.
There is no substitute for an experienced physician coach helping other physicians get the lives they want.
You can have that. I can help you get there.
I help caring, community-minded physicians get the relationships they want, the joy in service they miss, the home life they desire, and the personal growth they crave.
Coaching for physicians is even backed by Randomized Controlled Trials!
Here's the kicker...you can get a better quality of life. AND this counts as CME?!? What are you waiting for?
"This program has been above and beyond what I expected. So I’ve been really happy with everything. The Saturday mornings work perfectly. The individual sessions, the workbook. I’m doing great! This has been a rudder. A North Star."
~ Urologist
"This has all been super amazing! It’s been life changing. Honestly it has been fantastic working with you. I can’t think of somebody better to work with for me personally."
~ Pediatrician
"My husband was watching me coach myself on this since you taught me and he was like, 'this is AMAZING' so I had to tell you. You've really helped me so much Emily."
~ Dermatologist
"I started working with Emily as a 3rd year resident. Self-confidence was low. Within 1 month I could feel my perspective & approach to my work & life shift. I noticed how I limiting myself with my own thoughts. Emily gave me concrete tools to approach this next chapter & an opportunity to break free from restrictive thoughts. Coaching is so transformative! I love who I am becoming!"
~ Antoinette
Integrative Medicine & Family Physician
"Working with Emily has been an amazing experience. Her energy and optimism in meeting you where you're at, encouraging you to set goals for the future and creating a framework to help you achieve them has been empowering and inspirational. After 12 short weeks, I have renewed vigour, confidence and grace for myself, my family and my patients. Thank you!"

Emily’s coaching program was undoubtedly worth the financial and time commitment; if you’re reading this, sign up for the program already! Emily is a kind, caring, positive person who expertly leads you through the individual and group sessions, and teaches you ways to productively approach any number of professional and personal situations. I was skeptical about doing group sessions, but it was really helpful to hear other people’s struggles, questions, progress, and insights. At every group session, I learned not only what was in the “curriculum” for that day, but extra tips, often based around what specific topics the other participants were getting coached about. Individual sessions allow you to apply the tools to specific scenarios in your own life. After working with Emily, I feel more confident and more prepared to handle the inevitable stresses that happen both at work and home!

Family Physician
"I was remembering about how we were talking before [in group] about wishing we could have Emily in our pocket...and I started thinking about all the other people in my pocket who I don’t want to have in my pocket. Who I’ve been carrying around. There’s this girl and I’m always hearing her voice and judging myself based on what she would say. And she's not even in my life anymore. I don’t want her in my head anymore. So now I'm just thinking, about who I really want to have in my pocket."
~ Family Physician
"Emily helped me find myself again... the version from the start of med school who was eager and excited and unafraid. She helped me learn how to breathe a little easier, whether it's daily challenges we all face or something bigger. I feel like I have tools now to help me keep moving forward and I'm better able to hand and approach challenges that come in my way (and now things that previously looked like "challenges" don't really feel like challenges anymore). I really can't tell you what an incredible difference you have made in my life. Thank you for everything you do!"
~ Dermatologist
“[After 3 weeks of coaching] I’ve definitely noticed that there’s a shift in my satisfaction at work and my attitude showing up at work and being there for patients. I’m calmer, even if I’m running late, I’m like 'lets make sure that this patient gets all their questions answered'. And I’ve gotten really nice feedback from patients and what I realized is that I didn’t do anything but listen to them and it was really incredible for them to say to me that that was really important and what they really needed. And that I was able to do that for them. [Coaching] is definitely helping and things are shifting for me."
~ Tahereh Naderi

You have changed my limiting beliefs into empowering habits; reminding me that whatever the results my goal is to be a more connected, playful, present person regardless of the story that came before. Thank you."
~ Cristina Mota
Family Physician
This has been exactly what I've needed. I just didn't know it. I've woken up a lot. Not a little."
~ Family Physician
~ Pediatrician
Emily’s coaching began with looking at my life up to now, and visualizing my life from the near term to twenty years into the future. I formulated my desires into goals and my goals into plans. Committing these ideas to more concrete steps and timelines brought me back down to Earth, which I at first resisted, but now that things are underway, allow me to experience happiness again.
I recommend life coaching for a person who wants change or growth in their personal and professional life that seems to keep being deferred by competing obligations and priorities. What you receive is not advice but a methodology that yields a more productive habit of thought. Of course, you still have to do the work, but you can take satisfaction in the accomplishment of intermediate goals along the way."

Eventually, my goal is to use coaching to help lift up entire communities by helping the helpers. Coaching allows people to take back control over their lives and design the lives they want on purpose. Every aspect. Really. Coaching is the most effective tool for this.
Most life coaches are not physicians. And most physicians are not life coaches. There is a growing, surging tide of us physician coaches and I'm hopeful that we will empower physicians and stakeholders across the United States and all over the world and usher in the change that is needed to redesign our healthcare system and the culture of medicine.
I am the change I want to see. I am my own first patient. You can be yours too.
