I'm Dr. Christina Arnold
Â
Â
I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve cried in the parking lot before my work day even started. I’ve dreaded Monday all weekend long. I’ve lived for vacations desperate to escape the work grind. Over my 24 years as a physician, I’ve seen too many physician moms think the only answer to work-life balance is to drop to .5FTE, overwork to belong, change themselves to fit in, quit their job, or leave Medicine. The answer isn’t to change you. The solution is to fix the job instead. In my program, you learn how to create an ethical career where you get to be an exceptional doctor AND the mom you want to be. Your safety is our priority. When you're safe at work, you cut back to part-time hours at your full-time doctor job.
what clients are saying...
“I work at a busy private practice— the workload kept getting more intense. I thought I had to leave medicine. On the very first call with Christina, I felt so much better— I realized I had so many more options that didn’t involve a massive paycut. On the second call, I learned how to have FUN at work. By the 3rd call, my boss and coworkers told me they saw a positive change in me—I seemed more confident, at ease, & was leaving earlier. I’m glad I didn’t  take a salary cut by leaving medicine. I just needed a new way. It’s 100% possible stay in the job and loved it again!” CY
"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.”— HNÂ
“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!” —VDÂ
"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.” —LWÂ
"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.”— BAÂ
“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!”—SSÂ
