From Overcommitted to Empowered: A Life-Changing Practice for Women Physicians

Women—especially women physicians—are high-functioning, capable, and deeply committed. We take on too much, believing everything is our job.

 While this benefits others in the short term, no one wins in the long run.

The result? Exhaustion, overwhelm, and over-functioning.

But what if you let go of unreasonable expectations? What if you stopped carrying what isn't yours to hold?

In this episode, Dr. Jessie Mahoney explores a transformative coaching practice to help you clarify what is actually your job in every role you play.

What Is Not Your Job?

🚫 Keeping everyone happy and comfortable 🚫 Making people feel a certain way 🚫 Fixing everything 🚫 Judging others 🚫 Owning others' challenges or outcomes 🚫 Changing anyone's behavior 🚫 Convincing people

What Is Your Job?

✅ Loving ✅ Modeling ✅ Supporting ✅ Listening ✅ Facilitating ✅ Advising ✅ Connecting ✅ Teaching ✅ Inspiring

For physicians and leaders, this conversation holds additional layers: awareness, diagnosing, educating, and being present—but not fixing, defending, or meeting the impossible expectations of broken systems.
