what clients are saying...

"I’m internal medicine at a major academic center that prides itself on a culture of always working. I didn’t think change was possible for me without going to part-time or leaving all together. A friend recommended Christina’s Happy in Medicine podcast and I quickly signed up. I realized I was already working 1.5FTE between the overworking and thinking about work around the clock. I learned how to drop working on weekends, how to shorten my long clinic days, work remotely from my vacation home when I can, NOT take work with me on vacation, and I even have time to go out to dinner with my girlfriends while on call. I have so much more free time. I’m starting French classes and taking luxury vacations. You don’t have to work 1.5FTE or go to part-time to enjoy your career. Inside this program you’ll learn how to cut back to part-time hours and keep your full-time pay.”— HN 

“I really loved many parts of my pathology job. I love the people, the staff, the work, my leadership roles. But I noticed I was staying later and later over the years with more and more responsibilities. I often left around 9pm. I’m so glad I found Christina. Her process showed me how to work part-time hours WHILE being Medical Director and keeping my full-time pay. Unbelievably to me and my husband, I got home 3-5 hours earlier EACH DAY. This program is LIFE-CHANGING.” —RS

“This Allergy & Immunology position is my first job out of fellowship. I didn’t think I could negotiate for anything as a fellow, I was desperate to just get hired in the same city my husband had a job in. I arrived at the job already feeling like I was underpaid compared to my peers. I felt like a perpetual fellow. Christina helped me negotiate for a $60,000 raise AND a 4-day workweek. I don’t feel like a fellow anymore! This program pays for itself over and over and over again!” —ZY

"I love being an anesthesiologist but I didn’t love my job. I’m the only mom in my group- they expected me to do the admin duties, gave me a hard time about maternity leave, and I often had the worst call schedule. This had me thinking about and resenting the job. With family in town, switching jobs wasn’t an option. In the program I learned how to get my time & energy back by learning how to advocate for my preferences and support myself no matter what.” —BK

“I am running a very busy solo OB-GYN practice. Staff turnover was high. I had no mentors to show me how to make this successful. Figuring out the payroll and systems was challenging. I was working around the clock trying to make this work and feeling like this was all on my shoulders. Christina worked with me on stabilizing my staff, growing my practice, & connecting me to other physician mom CEOs for support and strategy. I realized selling my practice wasn’t my only option. I could use mindset tools and strategic plans to keep my full-time pay, work fewer hours, and make the practice even stronger.” —DS

"My husband is a high-earner. We realized I didn’t need this job and it was making me miserable. Just as I was about to submit my request to go to part-time, a friend recommended this program. I couldn’t believe how simple it was to get to part-time hours by eliminating all the overworking. I have my full-time salary, benefits, retirement, and I work part-time hours. Make the overworking history inside this program.” —KK

"I finally got the senior leadership position I had dreamed of since I was a fellow. I wasn’t prepared for the tense budget meetings, having to fire docs, and the intense pressure from leadership. I was working all of the time. Christina helped me unpack all of it. We focused on what I loved (advocating for the docs to hospital leadership), negotiating out of the parts of the job I just hated (firing docs), and being home more. I work remotely 2 days a week— I get to put the kids on the bus in the morning and see them get off the bus in the afternoon, I work out & take the dog for a walk. I feel in control over my schedule. I’m working part-time hours. I kept my full-time pay. Worth every penny to join this community!” —VD 

"I wanted to be a mom and a doctor. I didn’t see how to make that happen with the hours I worked at my private practice. I had budgeted out the option of going part-time. I could make it happen but I didn’t want to take a 50% pay cut to be a mom. This program was the solution. I’m working part-time hours, enjoying my full-time salary, and being the mom I’ve wanted to be. No pay cut required.”—CM

"When I joined, I felt like I was on call 24/7. My boss emailed at all hours of the day and night, even on weekends and when I was on vacation. The admin was asking me to do admin work. I didn’t think I had any options. Christina showed me how to make small adjustments that had big payoffs. The out of office memo email and text solved 90% of the problem. And learning how to negotiate like a physician mom solved the rest. Best investment ever.” —LW 

"I joined on a Sunday. I listened to the Negotiations module right away to prepare for my annual review on Tuesday. By Tuesday afternoon I had negotiated for a $65,000 raise. That was just the start. Then I negotiated to work for a 3 day workweek (with 2 days remote from my vacation house). You don’t have to drop to part-time pay to get the work-life balance you want.” —PP

“I was fresh out of fellowship. I was told the offer was standard— there was no negotiation room, everyone gets this pay, no one in academic pathology is paid well. I was just about to sign when a friend suggested I check out this program. Christina’s program helped me GET A $100,000 RAISE as a fresh fellow in pathology. I’m so glad I didn’t believe those stories. This is a million dollar program. There’s NOTHING like it.” —PM

"My husband was begging me to go part-time— he was worried about all the hours I was working. My Vice-Chair hired a university coach for me and it didn’t work at all. He basically told me to work harder and he reported details of our conversation to my boss. I’m so glad I found Christina’s podcast. I joined her program and finally felt like I had someone on my side at work. She helped me get down to part-time hours WITHOUT taking a paycut. I just needed the right person and the right process.” —YT

"I thought a raise was impossible with the hospital emailing about the budget crisis and 5 faculty leaving last year. Christina helped me negotiate for a $138,000 raise. I shared the tools with my spouse and he got the same raise. Together we make more than the boss. I found a whole new energy around this job. I give so much more. I feel so much more appreciated. I stopped scrolling for other jobs and daydreaming about going part-time. There’s no need- I’m working the hours I want at a salary I didn’t think was possible.”— BA 

“I was in tears on my first coaching call. I was desperate for something to change. We couldn’t move because my family is in town and I’m the breadwinner. I’ve never heard of the Success-Joy Matrix— it blew my mind. Christina helped me reorganize my work with the Success-Joy Matrix so that I could keep my full-time pay and cut back to part-time hours. No more tears!” —CM

“$80,000 raise in academic medicine while cutting back to part-time hours!!!!”—SK

“I hired Christina to help with my job. In two sessions the job was on track! I then realized my marriage was really struggling and my relationship with my mom was just sad. Christina helped me fix all of this. I never thought this was possible. The change was so needed and it happened fast. Lives are saved in this program.” —ST

"I hated my job so much. I was way past being burned out. I considered working at the grocery store. But as the primary breadwinner in a small town, that wasn’t an option. Christina worked with me on this job and I can’t believe the results: I realized this job isn’t perfect but I negotiated to make it perfect for me. I have fun at work now! Keeping my full time pay means I retire early, we’re renting an RV for a summer of road trips, and I can treat myself to luxury gifts like weekly massages and all-inclusive beach vacations with hubby. I’m working part-time hours with lots of time and money for hobbies, travel, house renovations, and helping aging parents. Everyone women should be in here”—JY

“I stopped working weekends!!! I use all my vacation days! Going part-time was NOT the only solution.”—KY

“I liked my job a lot. But I found out my male colleagues were being paid a lot more than me. I didn’t think I could ask for anything. I also had so much resentment for the pay. I didn’t need the pay; and that wasn’t the point. Christina helped me negotiate for a competitive salary. I told the other women in the group about this program and they also got raises, too! Then I negotiated to drop 2 clinic days a week. I LOVE this job now!”—ZM

“I negotiated to take the summer off with my kids!!” —MI

"I joined because my job was feeling out of control— I was working all the time and it didn’t feel like enough. My male fellow was hired at a higher salary than me even though I trained him! I was told I didn’t qualify for a raise because I wasn’t productive enough. Christina asked me if I was willing to be wrong about all of it. She helped me create a $139,500 raise WHILE cutting back to part-time hours by dropping the overworking. Every woman needs a coach!”—SS
