Empowering Women Physicians
About Empowering Women Physicians
Founded by Sunny Smith, MD, Empowering Women Physicians is a pioneering physician-led community dedicated to transforming how women in medicine see themselves, their possibilities, and their power. Dr. Smith — a family physician, coach, and advocate for physician well-being — blends decades of clinical experience with her mission to elevate women’s voices in a healthcare system that wasn’t built with them in mind. Through her own journey from burnout to leadership, she offers a model of what becomes possible when women physicians are equipped with mentorship, mindset tools, and a supportive community that understands their unique challenges and aspirations.
Empowering Women Physicians goes far beyond motivation — it delivers a clear, actionable path for women doctors to step into leadership, reclaim their autonomy, and design careers aligned with their values. Through programs that integrate coaching, community, and evidence-based personal development, participants learn how to navigate systemic barriers, silence self-doubt, negotiate confidently, and cultivate sustainable success in — and beyond — medicine. Whether through the flagship coaching program, in-person retreats, or the robust online community, Empowering Women Physicians provides women doctors with the structure, strategies, and sisterhood needed to grow, thrive, and reshape the future of healthcare on their own terms.
About Empowering Women Physicians Coaching Guide
The Empowering Women Physicians Coaching Guide is a practical, physician-centered resource designed to help women doctors address the unique challenges of medical practice, burnout, and self-sacrifice while creating a more fulfilling professional and personal life. Created by Sunny Smith, MD, this guide offers clear strategies and tools that empower women physicians to assess where they are now, recognize what’s possible, and begin making intentional changes that prioritize well-being and purpose. It’s structured to be accessible for physicians at any stage, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by workload, questioning your career direction, or seeking actionable steps toward greater joy and balance in life and medicine. The guide complements the broader Empowering Women Physicians mission by providing insights that bridge personal reflection with tangible growth practices.
What distinguishes the Empowering Women Physicians Coaching Guide is its emphasis on blending self-awareness with practical coaching tools tailored specifically for the rhythms and pressures of medical careers. Rather than offering generic advice, the guide encourages readers to deeply consider their values, identify limiting patterns, and implement strategies that support more sustainable engagement with both their work and personal lives. Rooted in Dr. Smith’s vision of helping female physicians stop sacrificing themselves for others and finally create the life they’ve worked so hard to build, this resource acts as both a reflective roadmap and a springboard to further coaching, community, and transformation.
