From Pissed Off to Poised- A Podcast for Busy Women Professionals
This podcast is designed to help overcommitted women, physicians, and
professionals move from being reactionary—often feeling anger and
resentment—to becoming more intentional and responsive. The goal is to
help you enjoy life while still getting everything that needs to be done,
done.
In this show, we’ll dive deep into how to shift from reacting to responding
when it comes to anger, while recognizing that the first step to making a change is building our awareness. I’ll also share practical tips on how to say "yes" only to what truly matters to you and create a calendaring system that works—one that honors your commitments to both yourself and others.
As a retired pediatrician, the co-founder of Virginia iSpine Physicians, and
a trauma informed certified mindset coach I have navigated multiple career transitions in life and am still evolving as I apply these concepts in other areas with grace and vulnerability. I want to share what I have learned over the years so that you can start to create more peace in your day to day life,
as you begin to shift from reaction to response.

Ep 36: Why We Panic: Procrastination vs. ProActivation
Imagine if a simple shift in your mindset could change how you approach deadlines, projects, and even the way you think about rest. Today, we’re unpacking a concept called ProActivation, which will help you do just that.
ProActivation is the opposite of procrastination. This idea has become a cornerstone of my life because I’ve discovered its power in tackling not just work-related tasks, but also the everyday chores and personal projects that I would dread starting or struggle to complete. It’s become a game-changer for me, enhancing both the quality of my work and significantly reducing my stress levels.
If you've ever said something along the lines of, “I do my best work under pressure,” or if you're sitting on a big important goal that keeps getting bumped back to the next week, this episode is for you. I’ll give you examples of how I have used this concept in my day-to-day life, and you'll get the tools and strategies to help you implement it in yours, too. ProActivation isn't just about getting things done earlier; it's about showing up as the most focused, creative, and present version of yourself that you have the potential to be. You don't have to earn your peace while panicking and rushing to get things done--let's dive in and unlock your potential together.
What You'll Learn:
- How approaching your big goals–think writing a book or launching a business–with ProActivation will provide you with the clarity and energy to follow through.
- A framework to guide you through using ProActivation when faced with a project.
- Why scheduling your deadlines two weeks in advance will eliminate panic and procrastination.
