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.

Why Your Coaching Business Stalled: The Truth About Unintentional Breaks
In this episode of the DCS Podcast, we unpack a pattern that shows up over and over again with students inside DCS and in the journey of so many coaches: taking breaks from your business without even realizing it.
You’ll learn the difference between intentional and unintentional breaks in your coaching business, and why unintentional breaks quietly erode your confidence, consistency, and results. You’ll hear a personal story about a season where the business looked “consistent” on the outside—posts were going up, clients were being coached—but the energy, leadership, and enthusiasm were completely offline. That was actually an unknown, unintentional break.
Using simple analogies (like a clothing store that says “Open” but has no merchandise inside), this episode helps you see where this might be happening in your own business and how to get back into aligned, belief-shifting action. You’ll also get a practical “break diagnostic” you can use right now to identify what kind of break you’re in and how to convert an unintentional break into a healthy, intentional one.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing rest, or confused about why you’re “doing all the things” but not seeing the results you want, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a reset.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The three types of breaks in your business:
- Intentional breaks
- Known unintentional breaks
- Unknown unintentional breaks
- Why intentional breaks are not only healthy but necessary when your brain is the primary “equipment” in your coaching business
- How unintentional breaks:
- Often start as “just procrastination”
- Quietly become emotional avoidance
- Lead to more shame, guilt, and avoidance over time
- The powerful analogy of:
- A store with a “Closed” sign (known unintentional break)
- A store that says “Open” but has no clothes inside (unknown unintentional break)
- The three core thoughts that usually fuel unintentional breaks:
- “This isn’t working.”
- “This should be easier.”
- “No one wants what I have to offer.”
- How these thoughts, when avoided, harden into beliefs and start to define your identity as a coach
- What it looks like to be:
- Busy and “doing all the things”
- But not actually selling, leading, or shifting beliefs
- The Break Diagnostic:
- How to scan your behavior (Are you actually showing up? Are you selling?)
- How to scan your story (Are you grounded, or stuck in confusion/blame?)
- How to scan your self-coaching (Are you going deep, or only asking surface strategy questions?)
- How to convert an unintentional break into an intentional one, build clean boundaries around it, and return to your business feeling grounded, clear, and refreshed instead of ashamed or behind
If you realized you might be on an unintentional break, or you want to lead your coaching business with more clarity, mastery, and emotional congruence — make sure you’re subscribed to the DCS Podcast and share this episode with another physician coach who needs it.
