Four years after leaving clinical medicine, I finally let my medical license expire.
Not because I had to. 
Because it was time.
This wasn’t an easy decision at all.
Fear told me I needed a backup plan.
What if my husband died? What if he was disabled? What if my coaching practice needed to cover all our bills, two kids in college, and unexpected medical expenses.
In this very special podcast episode, you get the behind the scenes of clipping the last ties to my medical license.
IMPORTANTLY, this episode isn’t about leaving Medicine (necessarily). It’s about loving your life, inside or outside of the hospital.
It’s about doing less of “what you have to do” because of fear and panic.
And more about doing what your soul is called to do, even if that’s staying in Medicine. 
Here’s what you get:
The insurance pivot: How I solved every catastrophic "what if" scenario with actual financial planning instead of clinging to credentials I'd never use again
The identity shift a friend saw before I did
The Red Balloon Ritual
The move to California with zero fallback plan
 
Take it all in and tell me what this sparks inside! Christina

One physician walked into my program convinced she couldn’t negotiate. 
She’d never been trained in Negotiations.
She worked at an Academic center.
They already said they were in a budget crisis and hiring freeze.
The economy.
She had convinced herself that a raise was out of the question for her.
THEN, she watched replays of my bonus Negotiation trainings. Twenty minutes of listening was all she needed.
She walked into the meeting feeling confident and prepared. She left the meeting with the absolute maximum raise her institution could offer.
 
This episode breaks down exactly how she did it: 
✔️the mindset flip that turned a budget crisis into the best time to ask
✔️the preparation step that erased her fear of pushback
✔️the five part negotiation process she followed word for word
✔️the simple script that made her meeting wildly successful
 
Twenty focused minutes. One meeting. Maximum raise.
Listen now and use the same strategy to create your next win.
