Accomplish changes you never thought possible
MY FIRST 24

I started dreaming about becoming a life coach for community-minded female physicians when I was still in medical school in 2008. So when I began really methodically, thoughtfully, intentionally crafting and building my dream coaching course for female physicians in 2020, I literally poured EVERYTHING into it.

And that's how MY FIRST 24 came to be.

MY FIRST 24 Mission:

  • TO TEACH: the life skills we all need but were never taught and to un-learn the toxic patterns we learned through childhood and our medical education
  • TO BUILD COMMUNITY: among committed female physicians across specialties, countries, across the spectrum of life and leadership in a super real, super intimate group, with a powerful, shared experience that continues after graduation into the MY FIRST 24 Alumni Community
  • TO PROPEL: smart, caring lady docs toward and into the experience of life they really and truly want. No more feeling stuck. No more tug-a-war. No more spreading yourself too thin. It's a life with healthy boundaries, connection, self-confidence, clarity, and bountiful joy.
What is MY FIRST 24?

It is my flagship 12-week CME coaching program for female physicians.

MY FIRST 24 includes:
weekly group sessions as well as weekly individual coaching sessions all with me (your experienced, certified life coach specializing in women physicians who care).

Want continued support and accountability?

All graduates are invited to join the MY FIRST 24 Alumni Program following graduation for consistent, structured, warm, personalized guidance & support.

Every graduate also automatically has access to the MY FIRST 24 Alumni Community for peer support, networking, community, in-person alumni events including our CME retreats (pictured here), and more.

I call this MY FIRST 24 because these are the first 24 hours of the rest of your life. These 24 hours span 12 weeks where the group curriculum builds on itself and where our individual coaching sessions are customized to your individual needs.

*The AAFP has reviewed My First 24: a 12 week life coaching CME program for physicians, and deemed it acceptable for AAFP credit. Term of approval is from 08/28/2024 to 08/27/2025. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

There doesn't have to be a tug-a-war between patient care vs self care. Or screen (EHR) time vs family time.  In MY FIRST 24 we learn to create & maintain healthy boundaries, to improve relationships. We address imposter syndrome, worry, overwhelm, self-doubt, and finances. We develop self-confident leaders and launch careers to the next level.

People accomplish changes in their lives and in their relationships they never thought were possible. All within our individual sessions and our intimate group of amazing, loving, supportive peers over a relatively short period of time.

Overcame burnout & overwhelm and got back to doing what they love

"I can’t think of anybody better to work with for me personally. Everything has changed! I can't even remember now what issues I was having before with my mom, with work. My husband is watching this process in me. It has been amazing."

MY FIRST 24
Dermatologist
VA Regional Director, Telederm

"Now I'm able to show up. And the boundaries I've put into place are helping. I have the bandwidth to be the mom I want to be, the partner I want to be.

I'm on top of the wave now instead of floundering under it. I'm in control of where I'm going."

MY FIRST 24
Family & Integrative Medicine Physician
Chief Medical Officer

"The best gift I gave myself and to my family was coaching with Emily. I now know that I can eat without sabotaging my weight loss, my relationships have upgraded to another level especially with my teen daughter, and my life has become happy, peaceful and powerful. I am no longer an angry, grumpy mom but a cool, loving mom 😄. My only regret is not doing this sooner. Thanks to you Emily from the bottom of my heart. I highly recommend this program with the added bonus of CME."

MY FIRST 24
Pediatrician

"My coaching experience with Emily was awesome. I looked forward to our sessions and appreciated the basic structure, the tools, the flexibility to customize sessions to what would most benefit me as an individual. If I could go back in time I would have done this right out of residency rather than 6 years later!"

MY FIRST 24
Family Physician

"As a full spectrum Family Medicine physician, a mother, and a human with many interests, I have struggled to identify my own priorities and goals. This program with Emily has helped give me the skills and confidence to live in tune with my true self. It has reinvigorated my passion for my work, and taught me to claim time and energy for the rest of life. Emily is intuitive and insightful, and often offers thoughts that feel like revelations."

MY FIRST 24
Family Medicine + OB Physician
Medical Director, Practitioner Wellness

"I used to feel despondent. Despite having everything I could ever hope for - mission driven job, loving parter, amazing children, financial security, etc. I was still unhappy and found ways to gripe about the people I love and my job. Coaching with Emily has helped me feel empowered and to have more enjoyment in my personal and professional life."

What You Will Get... TRANSFORMATION
Weekly Group Sessions

13 group sessions over 12 weeks with a curriculum designed specifically for female physicians who care deeply about the communities they serve. But who are struggling in some way.

Participants hear the material, engage in active group discussion, read the information in the workbook text, and complete brief weekly homework to process it all. I designed this program to encourage real cementing of the coaching concepts for people of all learning styles and to support stretching, growth, and change.

Weekly Individual Coaching Sessions

Along with group sessions, we meet one-on-one weekly for the 12 weeks. This makes it so that I can customize coaching to each participant's individual journey.

CME Credit and Workbook

Up to 25 hours of AMA PRA Category 1 CME Credit! And the MY FIRST 24 Workbook for reference, reading, and processing the material.

A Supportive Community

You'll develop a community with other clinicians that are growing in similar ways. The 1st session you'll come as an individual and leave as an inspired member of our family.
