Your credentials are solid. Your impact is real.

So why does the career feel impossible?

Build an academic career

ou actually enjoy—and thrive in

You had the plan.

You had the time blocked.

Then something urgent came up.

And the important fell to the back burner.

AND THEN...

... the 4 a.m. emails. The nights and weekends you spend catching up. The leadership role nobody trained you for, that you're figuring out on the fly. The exhaustion that never quite lifts. The feeling that you can never actually step back.

This isn't a 'you' problem, by the way. Every academic physician experiences this. There's one reason why:

You're managing competing priorities that nobody designed for.

Clinical demands. Teaching. Research. Leadership. Your own life. They're all happening at once, and the system wasn't built to help you navigate that. It was built to extract as much as possible from YOU and hope you figure out the rest on your own.

And here's the truth nobody tells you: the institution doesn't love you back.

You need a coach

who has actually lived this.

Not someone who read about academic medicine in a textbook. I'm a pediatric oncology attending. I've navigated the clinical demands, the nights you spend catching up, the leadership roles nobody trains you for. I know what it feels like when institutions extract without giving back.

That's why I built the Physician Success DNA Method around three things that actually move the needle toward the outcomes that matter to you..

“Julie + Cathy absolutely nailed the launch of Future Fund.”

“Julie + Cathy absolutely nailed the launch of Future Fund. Even though it was my very first launch,

everything from the branding to the emails was pure fire. We hit six figures in five days. I highly recommend.”

A 6-month coaching experience where I'm with you every step

The Academic Physician Success Coaching Program

We focus on three things:

Performance habits that move you forward without burning out, leadership identity so you show up differently in your role, and mental mastery to make faster decisions with less second-guessing.

You get a partner in this, not another to-do list.

What's Included in the Program?

1

step one: Work‑Life Success Blueprint

This happens during your 90‑minute intake session, where we cover coaching basics, logistics, and expectations, then map a simple, personalized Work‑Life Success Blueprint for the 6‑month engagement so you stay grounded, focused, and sane.

2

step two: Monthly Coaching Sessions

Each month we meet for a focused 60 minutes to apply your blueprint to real life. We’ll navigate institutional dynamics, clean up boundaries, make faster decisions, and move the right deliverables forward so your week stays sane and your career momentum holds.

3

step three: Weekday Voxer Access

Real‑Time Support: As things unfold, you get weekday on-demand coaching for quick questions, course corrections, and momentum. No waiting a month for help.

4

step four: Weekly Check‑In

Short, focused accountbility touchpoint to lock priorities, remove blockers, and keep deliverables moving without nights and weekends.

wondering if this

program is for you?

This 6-month coaching program is designed for academic physicians who are ready to claim their career on their own terms. Whether you're early in your attending years or leading a team, you're probably managing competing demands: the publish-or-perish pressure, leadership responsibilities, and your own life outside the hospital. And somewhere in there, you've lost sight of what you actually want this career to look like.

The Clinician-Researcher Juggling Two Worlds

Leading clinical responsibilities while protecting time for research. You need a strategy that works for both, not a choice between them.

The Early Attending Finding Her Footing New to the attending role, figuring out leadership, politics, and what sustainable actually looks like. You don't want to burn out before you've started.

The Division Chief or Leader Wanting to Lead Well

You've got the title and the weight. You need clarity on priorities, boundaries, and how to lead without sacrificing yourself.

The PHYSICIAN MOM Balancing Two Full-Time Jobs Academic medicine plus motherhood. You're not looking for balance myths. You're looking for honest, doable strategies that work in reality.

The One Preparing for the Next Move Whether it's a promotion, a new position, or a complete pivot. You need to know what you actually want before you take it.

The One Stuck on the Hamster Wheel

Publishing deadlines, committee work, and grant cycles own your calendar. You're accomplished, but nothing ever feels done. You need a system that breaks the cycle.
