An 8-week coaching program for women physicians who want to feel better in their work and their life.

If you’ve ever opened the EMR
and just stared at the screen…

because your brain is so fried
that typing one more A/P feels impossible.

And thought:

“Should I just quit medicine and go work at Starbucks?”

You’re not the only one. But the good news is you don't have to.

As a doctor, you’re always moving.

Rushing between patients. The mental post-it notes. Solving everyone else's problems.


That nagging fear of dropping balls.

And when your job takes so much from you…

free time.
sleep.


patience with the people you love...

It can start to get in your head, too.

You’re used to being the one who figures things out. You don’t usually need help.

So when you haven’t been able to solve this yet…

after a while it’s hard not to start wondering if maybe it's you. 

That’s exactly why I created Feel Better.

An 8-week CME accredited program for women physicians.

Where you learn practical skills most of us were never taught in medical training… but should have been.

These skills help you move through demanding days without getting constantly derailed…


and they don’t just stay at work.

They show up in how you handle stress at home without snapping or shutting down,


How you make decisions without second-guessing everything afterward,
how you relate to the people you love without feeling drained or resentful,
and how you move through the bigger moments in your life without spiraling for days.

Inside the program, you learn how to:

• stay focused even when work is chaotic
• handle difficult interactions more readily
• finish notes more efficiently
• leave work earlier more often
• come home feeling like yourself again

So you’re not lying in bed replaying the day, not carrying work into your evenings, and not starting the next morning already behind. 

 Imagine your life when...

You feel rested and have more energy.

You get through your day knowing you made a real difference....

Without being so mentally and physically drained.  

You have energy and can actually enjoy time with your family without guilt or distraction.

You have time for the things that make you feel human again.

You don’t need your life to be perfect.
You just want it to feel better.
Less stressful.
More doable.

And it really can.

Hi! I’m Karen Leitner MD.

I live outside Boston with my husband, three school-age daughters, and our mini goldendoodle, Oscar.

For years as a practicing physician, I was rushing through my days, bringing work home, on edge about missing something, and wondering why my life felt so hard.

I also thought other women physicians were handling it better.

Most weren’t.

There’s just not a lot of room in medicine to say any of this out loud.

What I needed was to understand that it wasn’t just me + practical solutions and strategies to manage better in real time instead of staying stuck in overwhelm.

That’s the work I do now with other women physicians, over 500 and counting.

Satisfaction 
Guarantee

This experience will be transformative but we want you to feel completely comfortable saying yes. Attend the first 4 sessions, and if you don’t feel it’s a fit for any reason, just let us know. We’ll refund your full payment. No hard feelings, no hoops to jump through. We only want raving fans. 

What About the Money?

Let’s start with the hidden cost of staying stuck.

A slow leak of your time, energy, relationships, and joy heading towards burnout is also expensive.

You’ve already invested years of training, six figures in education, and so much of yourself in this career.


This program helps protect that investment by helping your career feel sustainable again.

Included Bonus: Personal Negotiation Support

Use it whenever the right opportunity comes along.

When you’re ready, you’ll receive:

- Customized MGMA salary data for your specialty, region, and practice type.

- A one-on-one strategy session with Karen plus follow-up support to plan your approach and know what to say (and what not to say).

- Coaching on mindset and communication so you don’t default to “I’m just grateful to be here” energy.

For many physicians, one successful negotiation more than covers the cost of the program.

Whether you're negotiating:

a raise

a four-day workweek

protected admin time

less call

better maternity leave coverage

you’ll have the clarity and language to advocate for yourself.

This doesn't expire. Tuck it away until the timing is right - or let it be the nudge you needed.

"Already getting a return on my investment in time spent at home with my family instead of working on my inbox or ruminating over a patient outcome." 

"In the grand scheme of my $350K med school debt, this felt like the right investment at the right time." 

"It helped me negotiate a raise, better schedule, and more respect."

FAQs

I’m already stretched thin. Do I really have time for this?

You’ll get practical tools you can use immediately, even in five-minute pockets. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about making what you already do feel easier and lighter. We help you maximize your efficiency get your charting down,  make decisions faster, reduce procrastination. set better boundaries so you're doing less out of guilt and obligation all of which gives you more time back. 

What happens if I miss a session, will I fall behind?

Nope! Every session is recorded and available to watch in your secure member portal for an entire year. Watch (or listen) anytime, from anywhere.  These sessions don’t build on each other like Organic Chemistry so you don’t have to worry about falling behind. 

That’s why there are infinite ways to get coaching and support: Live coaching calls with me, live small group coaching calls, via text in the Slack community, via voice message using Voxer, and even email support if you prefer.

Even if you miss a call, you can always get coached. This program is built to fit your schedule, not the other way around. You can go at your own pace.

Plus, the treasure trove of materials and resources in the Vault is yours to watch on demand, forever.

What if I already see a therapist and or psychiatrist, will this still help?

Yes. This is a powerful complement to therapy. Therapy uses a medical model, works under diagnoses and pathology,  and tends to be past- focused.

Coaching is future-focused, goal oriented, and actionable. So you can help yourself more readily with tools outside of the sessions. 

Many clients who have done therapy have LOVED adding coaching to their toolbox. 

Do you accept payment plans?

Yes, if you scroll back up there is a payment plan option. Otherwise we just need a deposit to reserve your spot and you can send an email to [email protected] to work out how you would like to make the rest of the payments. 

Will I fit in with the other women in the program?

Women physicians have a large common experience. That said, you also bring your unique identity and lived experiences with you which is what we want. Inclusivity is a hallmark and a priority.

You might be single or married, have kids in diapers or going off to college or not at all, be in practice or taking time off, be early career or just have retired. It is normal to wonder if you will be belong. That is ok. 

Whether you are Black, Indigenous, Asian, Latinx, Middle Eastern, Jewish, LGBTQIA+, a parent, single, partnered, or navigating any unique journey—we embrace all identities and continually work to create an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

How much access will I get to Karen?

This is a super high-touch program. I never want you to feel like a number in a sea of faces. Or that you’ve been forgotten about. 

From the get-go, there’s an optional 1:1 onboarding call with Suzanne (the operational mastermind behind How To Feel Better), every week you can join me for the live coaching calls, I’ll be there for you every day in the community Slack channel, and… I’m in your pocket, ready to coach you via Voxer voice notes in between calls (so you never have to wait to work through a challenge). 

I’m there for you every which way.

So, no matter if you prefer speaking in large groups, small groups, writing when you have a minute, or recording a voice message with your burning questions…

I’m extremely invested in partnering with you to ensure you get everything you need.

How soon can I expect to start feeling better?

the honest-to-goodness truth is this…

Many women feel lighter, more hopeful, and happier as soon as they begin.

That’s what happens when you have a community of allies rallying around you and tons of knowledge to help you feel better.

As a client from the last cohort said, “Don’t put this off. I saw benefits in my mindset and charting efficiency in week one”. 

As always, progress goes to those who engage with the program and make use of the resources.

Real talk: This isn’t an overnight fix. Together, we’re changing the way you think. That takes some time. 

What I will say is that 8 weeks is, by far, the fastest transformation of its kind compared to alternative methods (like therapy that could take months, or even years, to see a significant improvement in wellbeing and happiness, for example). 

How does the money-back guarantee work?

Show up for yourself in the first 30 days by attending/watching the reply of the first four sessions. Don’t love it? Shoot us an email and we’ll refund your full payment. No hard feelings, no hoops to jump through. Just an honest-to-goodness 100% money-back guarantee.

Does my specialty or practice setting matter?

It matters because you have different interests and concerns but the tools and skills will help in the areas you want to apply them. Regardless of what corner of  medicine, hospitalists, surgeons, outpatient docs, academics, private practice, dpc, non-clinical...find the skills this program offers very applicable and beneficial to their unique situations.

Can I learn more about the Canadian CME?

Many Canadian physicians can apply AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ toward their continuing professional development (CPD) requirements.

For specialists: The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) generally recognizes AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ as MOC Section 1 credits through a reciprocal agreement.

For family physicians: The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) may allow AMA credits to be converted to Mainpro+ credits. Physicians should check with their provincial regulatory body or CPD program for specific eligibility.

Can I hear from more women who have done the program?

Sure! Here is a live recorded Q and A  from many past participants talking about why they loved the program. 

Can you help me feel great about my decision whether or not I should join?

Of course! Here is a video to help you decide.

I am not an attending MD/DO. What resources do you have for me?
