Dr. Milene Argo started her journey with coaching 3 years ago, which started with 80 lb weight loss, she then applied this work to optimizing her clinical practice, to managing her inbox, finally leaving work at work, no more charting at home, self acceptance,  COVID, and even recent anti-racism awareness.    She is one of the best I know in using coaching techniques with her patients during routine office visits and helping them get real results. She is now not only a client of mine for well over a year, but is now also a colleague and coach in the EWP program in addition to having her own coaching practice. Check out her physical transformation in this video, which now matches the internal changes she has created through applying this work to all aspects of her life. https://thedoctor-coach.com/start-here [https://thedoctor-coach.com/start-here] Milene's coaching can be found in her own practice at https://thedoctor-coach.com/ [https://thedoctor-coach.com/] and as a part of EWP coaching at https://empoweringwomenphysicians.com/coaching/ [https://empoweringwomenphysicians.com/coaching/] Dr. Nora Vasquez can be found at https://www.renewyourmindmd.com/ [https://www.renewyourmindmd.com/]

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Sonia Wright about her journey, continuous transformation from her time in college, postbacc, residency, fellowship, parenting, mentoring, coaching, sex, intimacy, racism, and her experience living in the Twin Cities, MN during recent months and the anti-racism movement. https://soniawrightmd.com/ PDF guide: bit.ly/sexualintimacyguide

Dr. Stella Evans reflects on the last few months and how our paths crossed when she reached out while she was on quarantine for fever and cough.   She then found herself at the epicenter of the world's attention as the recent anti-racism uprisings literally came to the streets in front of her home and clinic.  She reflects on how examining her thoughts, feelings, and actions  during this historic time impacted what she did with her children and her family, and how she showed up in her neighborhood, her clinic, and her community.

Dr. Sarah Watler is one of my former medical students who has spent the last year as an Intern in New York City in the largest medical center in the area hardest hit by COVID (the Bronx). She speaks openly about her experiences this year.  As a Family Medicine intern focused on social justice she never expected to be doing months of critical care at the epicenter of an international pandemic.  She shares her thoughts about being a Black woman physician during this time, raising awareness, and advocating for change.
