About the show

Dr. Kimmy is a double Board Certified Pediatric Hospitalist, CEO of The Doctor Coach School™️, and host of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast. This podcast was created in order to help doctors, particularly women doctors of color, create, market, and confidently sell transformational coaching programs. Dr. Kimmy first built her business as a Procrastination Coach in 2019, helping professional women break the cycle of self-sabotage so that they could level up their lives, after she was able to push through procrastination and develop systems and processes to overcome her own overwhelm. She built a multi 6-figure coaching business from scratch and while working full time. Dr. Kimmy then began helping women doctors master their messaging and learn how to sell. She was able to help several of her clients develop thriving coaching businesses and sell high-ticket, high-impact coaching. This led to the creation of The Doctor Coach School™️. In DCS, Dr. Kimmy recognizes that the very tools that she developed to coach herself and her clients are also effective to market and sell. DCS is the only coaching school created specifically for physicians and dentists: in it, she helps doctors utilize their unique training of diagnosis and treatment in order to help them achieve results for their clients, market their coaching business, and sell their coaching with confidence. On the DCS podcast, you will learn how to pivot your story into your intellectual property, master your messaging through StorySelling, and sell with confidence. You will learn how to overcome your own mental and emotional blocks, and to teach those very skills to your clients.

Why Successful Women Still Struggle with Weight, Marriage, and Money (And How to Fix It)

In this powerful client-takeover episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, Dr. Tiffany Marie Lindsey shares a bold and transformative perspective on why high-achieving women still struggle despite their success. If you’ve ever felt like you “should have it together” but still find yourself battling inconsistency in your body, disconnection in your marriage, or instability in your income, this episode will challenge everything you thought was the problem. Dr. Tiffany introduces a deeper root issue: self-governance . Through her personal story, from a health scare and emotional exhaustion to losing 125 pounds, restoring her marriage, and elevating her income, she reveals how true transformation does not come from more strategies, but from mastering your internal world. This is not about another diet, productivity hack, or business tactic. This is about becoming the woman who can lead herself. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why success in your career does not automatically translate to self-discipline in your personal life The hidden reason high-achieving women struggle with weight, marriage, and money How lack of self-governance shows up as emotional eating, insecurity, and inconsistent income Why weight loss, confidence, and financial growth all stem from the same root The difference between external success and internal leadership The R.E.I.G.N. Framework Dr. Tiffany breaks down her signature framework for transformation: R – Reject the Lie Identify and shut down the thoughts driving your behaviors and emotional spirals E – Establish Truth Anchor into identity-based truth that reshapes how you show up I – Implement with Discipline Build self-trust through consistent, aligned action G – Guard Your Standard Stop negotiating with your old patterns and protect your new identity N – Navigate by Peace Make decisions from grounded certainty, not urgency, fear, or pressure Key Takeaways: Your body is not the problem. Your internal leadership is Anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout often begin with unchecked thoughts Discipline is not restriction. It is self-respect in action You do not need more motivation. You need structure and obedience to your standards When you master your internal world, your external results follow Connect with Dr. Tiffany: Email: wisdom641@gmail.com Instagram: @tiffanymariewellnessco LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-marie-lindsey-rph-cip-cpt-lwv-334155aa/ Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

How I Accidentally Became an ADHD Expert

In this episode, I’m sharing the surprising full-circle journey that led me to realize I had been creating tools to support my ADHD long before I was ever diagnosed. What started as a personal struggle with procrastination, self-trust, and feeling like a “high-achieving hot mess” eventually became the foundation for frameworks that helped me transform my life, grow a 7-figure business, and support countless women in doing the same. I’m opening up about the grief, relief, and revelations that followed my ADHD diagnosis, and how looking back helped me see that the tools I created years ago were actually helping me work with my brain all along. I’m also sharing a major announcement: I’m building Attentii , an AI-powered pocket coach for women with ADHD and procrastination tendencies.

In This Episode, We Talk About: Why I call myself an “accidental ADHD expert.” The hidden struggle of being a high-achieving woman with ADHD How procrastination, snoozing, and broken self-trust were shaping my life The life-changing moment after my mother’s passing that pushed me to change everything Why affirmations alone did not work for me How “I can do hard things” became the belief that transformed my identity The origin of my signature framework, the Action Belief Process The tools I created to help myself move through procrastination and resistance How those tools helped me build a multi-7-figure business before my ADHD diagnosis Why stopping snoozing changed the trajectory of my life and career The grief and affirmation that came with finally receiving an ADHD diagnosis My vision for Attentii , an AI-powered companion for women with ADHD and hot mess tendencies Details about the upcoming No Snooze Challenge Join the No Snooze Challenge: I’m hosting a free 5-day No Snooze Challenge to help women stop snoozing, rebuild self-trust, and start creating new beliefs through action.

Navigating Adult ADHD: Embracing Relief and Grief in My Journey

In this episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, I’m continuing the conversation about my recent ADHD diagnosis, but through a different lens. After last week’s episode, someone in my community sent me a powerful question: “What was upsetting about receiving the ADHD diagnosis?” It was such an insightful question. Because while there was immense relief in finally understanding my brain… there was also deep grief. This episode is about both. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why my ADHD diagnosis brought both validation and sadness What it felt like to know exactly what to do — but not be able to do it The neurochemical reality behind task paralysis (dopamine + norepinephrine) The years I spent believing I was lazy, broken, or deficient The grief of missed opportunities and unfinished projects The research study I believed could have moved the needle in medical education — but never published Taking nearly all the coursework for an MPH… twice… and never completing the capstone How structure and external deadlines masked my symptoms during training What changed once I became an attending and had to self-direct everything Why ADHD is often misunderstood (and why the name itself is misleading) How relief and grief can coexist in the same body at the same time Key Takeaways An ADHD diagnosis can bring validation and sadness simultaneously. Executive dysfunction is not laziness — it’s neurological. High achievement does not disprove ADHD. External deadlines can temporarily compensate for dopamine deficits. Unfinished projects often reflect brain chemistry, not lack of intelligence. Grieving missed opportunities is part of healing. The ability to hold both positive and negative emotions at once is a leadership skill — and a life skill. The Bigger Lesson If there is one takeaway from this episode, it’s this: You can hold relief and grief in the same body. You can feel confidence and uncertainty at the same time. You can be an expert — and still feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. That emotional flexibility is the skill that: Helped me build a seven-figure company Helped me step away when I needed to Helped me return with more self-compassion And it may be the skill that unlocks your next level, too.

Hiding in Plain Sight: ADHD, Rejection, and Showing Up While Disappearing

After a two-month break from the mic (and an incredible client takeover series), I’m back on The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast with one of the most vulnerable episodes I’ve ever recorded. In this deeply personal reflection, I share how my December 2025 ADHD diagnosis helped me finally make sense of the last three years of my life and business—and how rejection, unprocessed grief, and self-protection slowly pulled me out of my own marketing while I was still technically “showing up.” This episode is about what it looks like to keep producing, keep serving, keep grinding—while quietly disappearing from yourself. In This Episode, You’ll Hear: Why I stepped away from the podcast—and what changed while I was gone How my December 2025 ADHD diagnosis reframed my entire life story (and my business story) How I went from believing “I’m neurotypical but deficient” to recognizing that I’m neurodivergent The moment of rejection in 2023 that created the core belief: “They don’t want me.” How rejection sensitivity and emotional dysregulation showed up (what I now understand as ADHD/RSD) What “hiding in plain sight” looked like for me: removing myself from my marketing slowly, gradually, unconsciously How my content shifted from story-led to framework-heavy—and why selling started to feel harder The compounding layers of perimenopause, masking, burnout, trauma, and a shrinking sense of safety A raw look at 2025: increasing mistakes, relying on AI for messaging, delegating my authority away, and feeling spiritually abandoned The turning point in July 2025, when I sought God in my lowest moment and experienced deep healing and intimacy with Jesus How TikTok unexpectedly opened the door to ADHD awareness and self-recognition My diagnosis journey, medication changes (Strattera → Adderall → Vyvanse), and the grief work I’m doing in therapy What’s changing now as I rebuild, show my face again, and re-enter my business with my full self If This Episode Resonated: If you’ve ever felt like you were “showing up” while disappearing… If you’ve built success while quietly shrinking… If rejection changed the way you see yourself… You are not alone. Follow me on TikTok where I’m sharing more of this journey in real time. And keep listening—I’ll continue sharing what’s unfolding next. Peace and love.

Clarity Is a Crutch

This week on The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast , we’re going back in time. In this throwback episode, you’ll hear a vintage teaching on a message that still holds true today: 👉🏾 You do not need clarity to start. 👉🏾 Clarity is a crutch. 👉🏾 Clarity comes from movement. In this episode, you’ll be challenged to rethink the common belief that you must “figure everything out” before launching your coaching business. The desire for clarity often masks fear, perfectionism, and a deep need for safety. Waiting for clarity keeps you stagnant. You’ll hear: Why “needing clarity” is often your inner cavewoman trying to keep you safe The difference between sitting in your purpose and walking in your purpose Why faith requires movement, not certainty How clarity is revealed in the doing, not the planning A powerful forest metaphor that reframes entrepreneurship Why courage matters more than confidence We also share a personal story about investing in high-level coaching before having the money fully figured out — and how movement created the clarity (and revenue) we were waiting for. The mechanics of marketing and sales may evolve, but the fundamentals do not change. If you know how to make money, you know how to make money. And one of those fundamentals? Taking action before you feel ready. As you listen, ask yourself: Where am I waiting for clarity instead of moving? What messy first step can I take this week? What would courage look like right now?

Building a Liberation-Centered Private Practice: Unlearning Scarcity, Reclaiming Voice, and Practicing in Alignment with Dr. Ksera Dyette

In this special client-takeover episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, we hear from Dr. Ksera Dyette, a licensed clinical psychologist, private practice business coach, and podcaster whose work centers on liberation, equity, and values-aligned practice for Black social workers and psychologists. Dr. Ksera shares her deeply personal journey from graduate training in predominantly white institutions, through exploitation and harm in group practice settings, to building a private practice rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and liberation. Along the way, she unpacks how scarcity, white normativity, and oppression quietly shape how clinicians are trained to work, think about clients, and run businesses—often at the expense of their bodies, identities, and values. This episode goes beyond the “nuts and bolts” of private practice. It explores what it truly means to unlearn harmful systems , reclaim your voice, and build a business that supports both your clients and your own thriving. What You’ll Learn in This Episode How oppressive training environments shape clinicians long after graduation The hidden cost of scarcity-driven private practice models Why overworking and self-silencing are not personal failures, but learned survival strategies How group practices can exploit clinicians while undervaluing their ideas and labor What it means to build a liberation-centered, values-aligned private practice How racism, oppression, and internalized messages show up in business decisions Why centering identity, voice, and sustainability is essential for long-term practice How redefining success in private practice can restore health, integrity, and joy Dr. Ksera introduces her year-long Boundless Liberation Private Practice Coaching Program , designed specifically for Black social workers and psychologists. This work includes: Private practice foundations and strategy Values-aligned policies, pricing, and accessibility One-to-one coaching and assessment Unlearning scarcity and oppressive internal narratives Strengthening your internal supervisor Rebuilding identity and confidence as a clinician and business owner Creating a practice that supports both liberation and financial sustainability This program is for clinicians who are ready to move beyond survival and build practices that truly reflect who they are and who they serve. This conversation is especially for you if: You feel undervalued or exploited in a group practice You’ve tried to start a private practice but feel overwhelmed or stuck You have a practice that isn’t aligned with your values or identities You want to center liberation, equity, and authenticity in your work You’re ready to stop shrinking yourself to fit oppressive systems Connect with Dr. Ksera Dyette Text or Call: +1 (617) 855-1243 Instagram & TikTok: @theantiableistdoc LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ksera-dyette/ Let's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

Chronic Pain, Nervous System Healing, and Reclaiming Your Life with Dr. Michelle

In this special client-takeover episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, we hear from Dr. Michelle Welch , a physician by training and inner work coach by evolution, who supports women over 35 living with chronic, medically unexplained pain. This conversation is for caregivers and high-functioning women who have done “all the right things,” undergone extensive testing, followed medical recommendations, and yet continue to live with daily pain that disrupts their identity, confidence, and ability to fully participate in life. Dr. Michelle offers a deeply compassionate and nuanced perspective on chronic pain that goes beyond symptom management. Drawing from both her clinical background and her personal journey with unexplained pain, she explores how prolonged stress, caregiving, emotional load, and nervous system dysregulation can shape the body’s experience of pain, even when scans and tests come back “normal.” Rather than framing pain as something to fight or eliminate, this episode invites a new question: What might the body be trying to protect you from? What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why chronic pain can persist even when medical tests show no clear cause How prolonged stress and caregiving can keep the nervous system in survival mode The difference between pain caused by injury and pain driven by nervous system threat perception Why pain is real even when danger is not How chronic pain can quietly erode identity, confidence, and self-trust The role of fight-or-flight physiology in long-term pain patterns Why symptom management alone often isn’t enough How restoring a felt sense of safety in the body supports true healing Why capacity, not productivity, is the foundation for recovery Dr. Michelle introduces her Capacity Framework , a compassionate approach designed to support women over 35 who live with chronic, unexplained pain and long histories of caregiving and overperforming. The framework focuses on: Rebuilding internal safety Increasing nervous system tolerance Processing long-held emotional and physiological load Restoring agency, self-trust, and function Expanding life gradually and sustainably Rather than replacing medical care, this work complements it, helping women move from constant high alert to a state where the body no longer needs to “shout” through pain to be heard. If you are living with chronic pain that has no clear medical explanation, your pain is real. Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with fixing the body, but with listening deeply enough that the body no longer needs to scream.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why high income does not automatically equal financial security The hidden cost of avoiding your finances—even as a physician How coaching accelerates financial progress and reduces costly mistakes The mindset shifts required to move from stress to confidence around money How to take full ownership of your financial future Why clarity, systems, and support matter more than income level Who This Episode Is For Physicians who earn well but feel stressed or uncertain about money Doctors who feel they “should have figured this out by now.” High-achieving professionals who want financial freedom without burnout Physicians who want to practice medicine—and live life—on their own terms You don’t have to stay stuck, stressed, or silently worried about money—no matter how much you earn.
