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.

Client Takeover Series: Leadership, Purpose, and Power with Dr. Marzena Buzanowska
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this special Client Takeover episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, we spotlight Dr. Marzena Buzanowska, an interventional spine physician, medical director, physician leader, and founder of Leadership Breakthroughs Academy.
Dr. Marzena shares her deeply personal leadership journey, from years of frustration and invisible effort to building a purpose-driven leadership coaching practice that helps physicians and healthcare leaders lead with clarity, confidence, and alignment.
This episode is a powerful exploration of what leadership really requires, why traditional leadership paths often fail high-achieving physicians, and how true influence is built through self-mastery, emotional intelligence, and purpose rather than titles, projects, or credentials.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why this episode is part of The Doctor Coach School™ Client Takeover Series
- Dr. Marzena’s path from physician leader to leadership coach and entrepreneur
- Why traditional leadership advice often leads to slow, painful progress
- The invisible rules of leadership that many physicians are never taught
- How frustration and burnout can signal a deeper leadership awakening
- Why leadership development is not about achievements, titles, or credentials
- The role of self-awareness, self-worth, and identity in powerful leadership
- How reclaiming purpose transforms confidence, decision-making, and influence
- Why vulnerability, fear, and internal struggles are essential leadership conversations
- How unresolved inner work limits leadership effectiveness
- The difference between control-based leadership and influence-based leadership
- Why engagement, connection, and trust drive high-performing teams
- How conflict can either destroy teams or become a source of transformation
- Why leaders must master themselves before they can master teams
Physicians are often told leadership is about saying yes to more projects, collecting credentials, and waiting to be recognized. Dr. Marzena challenges this narrative and offers a new model of leadership rooted in identity, emotional intelligence, and intentional influence.
This episode is especially powerful for doctors who:
- Feel called to leadership but unseen or misunderstood
- Are tired of playing by rules that don’t work
- Want to lead teams without burning out or sacrificing themselves
- Feel pulled toward coaching, leadership development, or organizational impact
