A small, honest community for women at midlife, in medicine and beyond.
This is the room.
Join the Founding Room →Many women in medicine describe feeling lonely despite being surrounded by people all day. Hospital culture rewards the appearance of being fine. Public wellness spaces expect you to perform. Facebook groups mix the professional and the personal in ways you have spent twenty years keeping apart.
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. Led by a board-certified physician and professional coach. Its members are women at midlife who understand this season without needing it explained.
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 want to change medicine from within — with honesty, with biology, with nervous-system safety, with community, and with a definition of success that does not require sacrificing ourselves.
We are learning to stay, lead, or move on — on our own terms. And we rise together.
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. Many women, and women in medicine especially, spend years overriding themselves, masking, pushing through, performing competence while privately struggling. The Circle works when telling the truth is normal — *"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 changing how they work and live while still in the middle of it. 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, and women in medicine especially, 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 how the community works, year after year. They are what make a private peer forum useful at every stage of your career.
The Circle welcomes women in all four of these situations and does not push anyone toward a particular one.
Realigning, calibrating, or rebuilding — and want a community that understands what your week is actually like, 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 treats this as medicine done differently, not medicine left behind.
Open to: Any woman at midlife, in medicine or beyond — including women in health care at any specialty and career stage, clinical, academic, allied health or administrative, practicing or transitioning out. Globally accessible — fully online.
Membership is the community itself, with monthly Office Hours with me from January 12, 2027.
The community itself, plus monthly Office Hours — the simplest way to join.
Individual masterclass tickets will be available once the masterclasses begin in 2027, to non-members as well — useful if you want to attend a specific session without committing to membership. Members receive priority pricing on tickets.
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 practicing while depleted. Live with replay.
Topic schedule confirmed quarterly.
The Founding Room is open now. It is free, and until January it runs on peer conversation and truth threads, with no live sessions. On January 12, 2027, monthly Office Hours begin. Billing starts that day too, because nobody should pay for a community before its live sessions start.
What you get the day you join, for an email address and nothing else. The six nervous-system practices the program 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. You receive all of it at once, not in instalments. We work through one practice a week, together, for six weeks — so you can join and start wherever we are.
Everyone who joins before January 12 is a founding member — $19 a month, or $190 a year, locked in for as long as your membership stays active. No spam, and nothing sold to you in the meantime.
No. The Circle is one membership for all women, whether or not you have done the program.
If you enroll in Feel You Again™, The Circle is included at no extra cost for 12 months. After that you continue at the founding member rate, locked in while your membership stays active. That holds for every way in, Self‑Guided included. The membership pricing on this page is for women joining The Circle on its own. See the three ways in →
On Kajabi’s built-in community, inside the same private space as the program, with a mobile app. Not Facebook, not LinkedIn, not under any hospital’s HR system. It was chosen with members’ confidentiality in mind, including the particular concerns of women in medicine.
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 wellness community; we are a community for women at midlife 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 situations we welcome. 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.
