I thought I could never change, but I was wrong.
Hi! I’m Sofia. I am privileged to be a mom to three beautiful and strong willed girls, a wife to a very patient man, a practicing neurologist and a physician life coach. I help physician moms feel better at work and at home.
I know what it’s like to live with a feeling of overwhelm. I started my first job as an attending physician eight months pregnant. I went on to have three kids in three years, one of whom had multiple serious unexpected health issues. Between my family, my work, and my numerous responsibilities, l often felt stressed and exhausted. I spent the next decade living in what felt like survival mode. The stress was weighing me down and I felt like I was losing myself. I almost didn’t recognize the person I had become. I was impatient, short-tempered and resenting the career I had dreamed about for so long.
In early 2020 I discovered life coaching and it changed everything for me. I was very skeptical initially, but decided to go all in. The results were nothing short of miraculous. I lost ten pounds that I had previously tried losing for ten years. I was closing my charts faster at work and had more time for my family and outside interests. I stopped dreading my call weeks and started enjoying my days at work much more.
My most meaningful result, however, was reducing my reactivity with my kids. Before I started getting coached, I was losing my temper with them almost daily. I felt so stressed by the end of the work day that by the time I got home to start job number two, any little thing would make me explode. Then Covid hit, and now I was managing a new version of medicine with my kids at home all day. I couldn’t handle one more person wanting one more thing from me. My reactions were negatively impacting my relationship with my husband and kids. There was less connection, less laughter and less joy in our home. The guilt and shame were overwhelming.
Through coaching, I learned so many amazing tools to help me manage my mind. I learned the process to go through to set goals and actually achieve them. I started to find myself again and enjoy my life so much more. I started to imagine things that I never dreamed of imagining before. I became calmer, more patient, more connected to my loved ones and overall more satisfied with my life.
Seeing what an impact coaching had for me, I decided to get certified as a life coach and help physician moms just like me create similar results. I’m now the coach I wish I had over ten years ago. I’ve been down this road and I know the path out. I can help you be calmer, less reactive, and more loving to your family and to yourself. I can help you spend less time charting and more time doing the things you love. I can help you feel more confident in every area of your life.
I love working with physician moms who are struggling with the same things I struggled with. I love when you realize that you are not alone. I love showing you that you can change, your life can be different, that you can feel better.
I work one on one in private virtual sessions with physician moms who are ready to take control of their emotions and take the steps needed to feel better. I help you create the results that you want. I help you craft the life of your dreams, the one you worked so hard to achieve.
Why I do this work?
My mission:
When you impact a mom, you impact a family. When you impact a family, you impact a community. When you impact enough communities, you can change the world.
Women are powerful beyond measure. I know we can inspire one another to change ourselves and change the world. So many great women inspired me and now it’s my turn …
