“Thanks for everything Sharon.
I have learned so much from you and the other ladies in the program. You created a wonderful community as well.
I am stronger and more confident too. Thank you.”
Thriving After Burnout
Harnessing the strength of unity, I leveraged the force of community to amplify our voices and extend support to women experiencing burnout.
I skillfully led a collective of more than 50 women physicians, encouraging them to open up and share their personal narratives on overcoming burnout and discovering effective coping strategies. Our book became a best-seller on Amazon.
The profound impact of our collaboration manifested in the form of a bestselling book on Amazon. It is a testament to the potency that lies within the collective strength of numbers.
“Sharon’s group has been a lifeline for me. Starting an entrepreneurial journey as a full-time practicing physician can feel like trying to climb a mountain alone. Being in FPE is like being guided by someone (SHARON) who has been up the mountain several times with a team of like-minded women physicians who support each other along the way! I’m so grateful for encouragement from all the women in this group!”

In my earlier days as a plastic surgeon, I grappled with a lack of confidence that hindered my ability to assert myself and establish clear boundaries, eventually leading to burnout. I did the inner work and became a certified executive coach. Today, I am passionate about empowering other women to help build a life that has both purpose and peace.
I oversee the Female Physician Entrepreneurs Group, dedicated to providing women physicians with a nurturing environment to acquire knowledge in the field of business. Our community of over 10,000 women physicians fosters networking, learning, personal growth, and empowerment.Whether you’re interested in technology, healthcare, book writing, coaching, or consulting, we have a wide range of resources to support your endeavors.
