Do you ever find yourself “working” before work just so you can have a smoother day? Because, once the “real” workday hits, it’s nonstop.

• Patients. 
• Students and residents.
• Meetings. 
• Emails. 
• Fires to put out.
• People just asking you for things.

It’s easy to feel like I’m sprinting from start to finish without ever taking a moment to pause.

For so many reasons, women physicians tend to jam pack their days from sun up until they finally hit the pillow at night.

It’s a habit deeply ingrained in us.

Then we step into leadership, often without formal training… and if we do receive leadership training, the focus rarely lands on this one pivotal thing:

Caring for ourselves directly improves the way we lead.

The truth is, leadership is not just about what we give to others, it’s also about how we sustain ourselves.

One of the simplest ways to do that is through gratitude.

Not the big, performative kind… but quiet, intentional moments that take seconds, yet can shift the tone of an entire day. 

Dr. Stephanie Yamout helps women physician leaders get their time back, own their value, and command the room as they were born to do. For coaching support, apply for Stephanie's Signature Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you to a call.
