A small, honest community for women in medicine.
This is the room.
Join the Founding Room →In our own needs assessment, women physicians described themselves as "profoundly lonely despite being surrounded by people all day." Hospital culture rewards the appearance of being fine. The public wellness spaces ask you to perform. The Facebook groups blur every line you have spent twenty years drawing.
The Circle is what comes next. A small, confidential room for the conversations that do not happen anywhere else — about what the work is doing to your body, your values, and your sense of why you started. Held by a board-certified physician and certified professional coach. Populated by women who understand the assignment without being told.
We are the women who refuse to disappear inside the work we once loved.
We are brilliant, capable, high-functioning women navigating a biological and identity shift no one prepared us for.
We are no longer willing to normalize exhaustion, brain fog, emotional numbness, or self-abandonment as the price of purpose.
We believe burnout is not weakness. We believe brain health matters. We believe midlife is not the end of our relevance — it is the beginning of a wiser, more sustainable way to lead, heal, and serve.
We are rebuilding the future of medicine from the inside out — with truth, with biology, with nervous-system safety, with honesty, with community, and with a new definition of success that does not require sacrificing ourselves to achieve it.
We are not abandoning ourselves. We are learning to stay, lead, or move on — on our own terms, without losing ourselves. And we rise together.
A community is only as alive as the rituals that hold it. The Circle is structured around three foundational practices that recur across the year — what we do together, what we name out loud, and what we refuse to keep performing.
The first ritual. Women in medicine spend years overriding themselves, masking, pushing through, performing competence while privately struggling. The Circle becomes powerful when truth-telling is normalized — *"I'm exhausted and I can't keep pretending I'm fine. My brain is different now. What worked before no longer works."*
In practice: truth threads · honest reflections · anonymous shares · burnout reality-checks · "what I'm no longer tolerating" conversations.
The second ritual. The women in this Circle are pioneers rebuilding themselves in real time. The work is not about rigid perfection — it is about intelligent experimentation. Permission to try new rhythms, test boundaries, redefine ambition, evolve identity safely. Adaptation is wisdom, not failure.
In practice: one nervous-system practice a week, worked through together · micro-shift experiments · sustainable workweek trials · boundary tests · "what actually helped, and what did nothing?" check-ins.
The third ritual — and the deepest. Women in medicine are often rewarded for disconnection from self. The Circle becomes the place where the human matters as much as the role. Identity matters. Biology matters. Emotional safety matters. Rest matters. I am a woman first. Not just a function.
In practice: rituals around restoration · "who am I beyond the role?" conversations · identity-rebuilding work · embodied leadership practices · celebrating sustainable success rather than overwork.
These three rituals are not nice ideas. They are the architecture of how this community grows year after year — what turns a private peer forum into a movement that holds you through every season of the work.
The Circle holds all four of these experiences without forcing anyone into a single arc.
Realigning, calibrating, or rebuilding — and want a community that understands the texture of your week, the 3 a.m. wake-ups, the cumulative cost of doing the work well.
Wondering whether the next chapter is the same role done differently, a leadership pivot, a research-and-teaching shift, or something adjacent — and want to make that decision from a regulated nervous system, not from depletion.
Leaving clinical practice, reducing hours, or pivoting to consulting, telehealth, expert witness, advocacy, or writing — and want to do this on your own terms, with peers who have walked it.
And are rebuilding professional identity outside traditional practice. The Circle honours that this is medicine done differently, not medicine left behind.
Open to: Any woman working in medicine or health care — clinical, academic, allied health or administrative, at any specialty and any career stage, practising in or transitioning out of it. Globally accessible — fully online.
Foundation membership is the front door — the community itself, with the rhythm of monthly conversation and a monthly group call. VIP membership adds live masterclasses, recorded library access, and small-group coaching circles.
The community itself, plus the rhythms that hold it — a low-friction way to belong to the room.
Everything in the Circle, plus the deeper material — live masterclasses, the recorded library, and small-group coaching circles.
Individual masterclass tickets, once the masterclasses begin in 2027. Each will also be available as a single ticket for non-members — useful if you want to attend a specific session without committing to membership. Foundation members receive priority pricing on tickets; VIP members receive all masterclasses included.
Beginning in 2027. 90-minute live sessions on the topics this audience asks about most often — drawn from clinical neurology, lifestyle medicine, the women's brain health literature, and the lived experience of practising while depleted. Live with replay. Recorded library available to VIP members.
Topic schedule confirmed quarterly. VIP members vote on upcoming topics.
The Founding Room opens September 14, 2026, free, and runs quietly — the conversations, the truth threads, the women. On January 12, 2027 the rhythm begins: monthly Office Hours and the full shape of it. Billing starts that day too, because nobody should pay for a room that is not yet alive.
What you get the day you join, for an email address and nothing else. The six nervous-system practices the programme is built on — the practice library with the neuroscience behind each one, written for clinically-trained readers and honest about where the evidence is strong and where it is thin; the quick reference card; and a six-week tracker. Given whole, not in instalments. From September 28 we work through one practice a week, together, for six weeks.
Everyone who joins before January 12 is a founding member — $19 a month, or $190 a year, kept for life. No spam, and nothing sold to you in the meantime.
No. The Circle is one membership for all women in medicine, whether or not you have done the programme.
If you enrol in Feel You Again™, The Circle is included — at no extra cost for 12 months, and it does not end when your sixteen weeks do. After that you continue at the founding member rate, for life. That holds for every way in, Self‑Guided included. The membership pricing on this page is for women joining The Circle on its own.

On a private, professionally framed platform of our own — with a companion mobile app. Not Facebook, not LinkedIn, not under any hospital’s HR system. The platform was chosen specifically for the confidentiality concerns of a physician audience.
The HER PRISM Circle is anchored in a specific methodology — the biology of burnout, lifestyle medicine, values-based positive psychology, and the menopause transition. The conversations and masterclasses follow that throughline. We are not trying to be a general-purpose physician-wellness community; we are the community for women in medicine who want this particular lens applied to realignment, leadership, and the next chapter.
You are welcome here — see Who is in the room above for the four arcs we hold. We do not advocate for staying or leaving. We advocate for making that decision from a regulated nervous system, with peers who understand the stakes.
The Circle is a coaching and educational community. It is not medical advice, not therapy, not psychiatric care, and not a substitute for clinical evaluation. The founder's clinical credentials inform the work but do not constitute the practice of medicine within this community. If you are in crisis, please contact a licensed clinician or your local emergency services immediately.
