92. Stop Studying, Start Doing: Lessons from 2 Years of Dr. Toya Coaching

Hey Doc —

Dr. Toya Coaching is turning two! 🎉

Two years ago, I had a newborn, a burnout hangover, and an idea that didn’t make much sense on paper, but made perfect sense for my life. What started as a postpartum support concept has evolved into a global coaching brand, a thriving community, and an impact that‘s undeniable.

In this anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on the year everything changed — the burnout, the baby, the business, and what I’ve learned about building boldly when the plan doesn’t make sense to anyone else.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s about the real lessons behind the glow-up:

how I certified my way into a trap, how clarity showed up when I stopped trying to be “qualified enough,” and how every detour — even the useless ones — got me exactly where I was supposed to be.

We talk about:

• The trap of overqualifying yourself before you start
• Why “just start” is more powerful than another certification
• How every misstep can still move you forward
• The mindset shift that turns fear into freedom
• And why you don’t need to see the end to take the first step

This is a celebration, but it’s also a reminder: you can build boldly, even when you’re unsure, or a little scared.

Every dream needs a starting point. Two years ago, this was mine.

🎧 Go listen now, and share this episode with another physician mom who needs the reminder that her bold move doesn’t need permission — just a beginning.
