Coaching & A Cuppa with Dr. Cindy Van Praag, Coach for Physician Moms
In this Coaching & a Cuppa episode, we sit down with Dr. Cindy Van Praag, MD, NBC-HWC, anesthesiologist and founder of Inspired Mom MDs. Over a cup of tea, they talk about what it really looks like to be a physician mom who is “doing it all” and how coaching can help her reclaim energy, time, and agency.
Cindy shares her own story of trying to have it all look perfect on the outside while feeling overwhelmed and depleted on the inside. She describes how working with a coach helped her step away from toxic situations, protect her well-being, and ultimately inspired her to become a coach for other physician moms.
At the heart of the conversation is one powerful question: “Am I enough?” Cindy’s answer is a resounding yes.
In this episode you will hear about:
Why physician moms often feel they need to handle everything alone
Cindy’s journey from “I do not need coaching” to becoming a coach herself
The impact of toxic work and life situations on empathic, introverted physicians
How a neutral, unbiased coach can say what family members may have been trying to say for years
The connection between energy and time, and why feeling better can make time feel more spacious
A success story of a busy physician mom who shifted her mindset, changed her habits, and kept growing long after the coaching program ended
How Cindy structures her virtual one on one work, including a new 10 week program focused on energy and time for physician moms
