The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast
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.

The Resistance Funnel: A Simple Framework for Better Coaching Results
In this episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood parts of the coaching journey — client resistance. And not just how to spot it, but how to coach through it without shrinking, people-pleasing, over-teaching, or “fixing” your clients just to feel better.
Because here’s the truth most coaches never fully understand:
Resistance isn’t a sign something is going wrong.
It’s a sign transformation has begun.
Inside this episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why every human brain experiences resistance — even in the best coaching environments
- Why your job is NOT to “rescue” clients from discomfort
- How your own emotional state determines whether you coach powerfully or retreat
- The real reason clients often ask for strategies… and why strategies alone never create sustainable results
- The danger of “Snickers coaching” — when you soothe the discomfort instead of helping the client genuinely transform
- The framework I use to diagnose where resistance is truly coming from (and 99% of the time, it’s deeper than strategy)
Then, I introduce one of the most important tools we teach inside The Doctor Coach School™: The Resistance Funnel™
A four-layer model that reveals:
- the level at which clients present their issue
- the REAL level the problem lives in
- how to coach to the root instead of just the symptoms
Because coaching is not “giving someone better strategies.”
Coaching is guiding someone through their own internal blocks — even when it triggers discomfort on both sides.
This episode is an invitation to:
✨ Stop rushing to “fix”
✨ Stop making resistance mean something went wrong
✨ Build the emotional capacity to sit with a client’s discomfort
✨ Coach at the level where transformation really happens
When you do that, everything changes — the results your clients create, your confidence as a coach, and even how your business grows.
🎧 Take a deep breath and listen in.
This one is honest, uncomfortable, and freeing in all the right ways.
