  • You get distracted and jump from task to task, leaving projects incomplete.

I'm Vanessa Calderon, MD

I was the ultimate hyper-achieving, ambitious leader. 

I graduated with two professional degrees, including a Master's degree from Harvard (because an MD wasn't enough).

I did everything to optimize every second of my day. Within one year of my residency training, I was appointed chief of my department and was offered my first executive role as Chief Medical Officer soon afterward.

I was also a mom of two young kids, which meant I was up working before my kids would awake and back to work they went to sleep. I overworked consistently and with pride. Even though I'd say my family was my first priority, my calendar was overbooked with work commitments, leaving little time for anything else. Though I was hustling, I wasn't achieving the results I wanted in all areas of my life.

I knew there had to be a different way.

Using the tools I now teach in my webinars and courses, I was able to tap into new parts of my brain that helped me improve my productivity and do more with less time.

I'm still ambitious and creating big things, but I am doing so with ease and joy. And, I now have more free time and mental space to be present for the people I love.

Testimonials

"By far the best program I’ve ever done. There was data; there were tactics; there was an ability to connect with my fellow colleagues in a truly authentic and meaningful way. The camaraderie, openness, and support for one another was palpable."  

Jessica S.

"I was concerned about joining because I thought I wouldn't have time and I didn't want to get behind on the coursework. But everything was manageable, and nothing felt overwhelming. I also didn't want to pay for something that I wouldn't actually incorporate into my life. But I absolutely got the full value. I use the emotional regulation tools everyday to help me shift out of negative thought patterns that used to slow me down. Everyone should do this course.

Debbie M.

"This program was CME and coaching on steroids. The combinations of different frameworks was awesome, and the addition of the coursework that was based in science amplified what we learned and helped me retain and apply it to my own life. I would 100% recommend this course to a friend or colleague."

Katherine R.

"I used to think I could do everything on my own. Physician heal thyself! But you don't know what you don't know. These 12 weeks have been eye opening. I've learned mindfulness techniques and have been incorporating them into my daily life. I'm happier, less stressed, more productive, and I've rediscovered my joy in medicine! I'm grateful to Vanessa for putting on a great program."

Jenny C.

"I didn’t just get an entire new way to manage time, Vanessa also helped me with something much deeper. I have a child who is medically complex, and I had been carrying a fear of loss for a very long time. Even though I've been working with a therapist on this, I didn't realize how the grief and fear were embedded in the things I did on a day-to-day basis. Vanessa helped me understand and heal. She helped me create a newfound sense of peace and acceptance. I'm now so much more present with my daughter without the stress. I couldn't have done this without her."

Tasha F.

"I felt guilty about investing in myself. I thought I could deal with all of this on my own. But time is our most precious resource, and I wanted a solution that was going to be efficient because I didn't want to waste the little time I had trying things that wouldn't work. In just a few short weeks, I clarified so much mental drama. I used to think stress, guilt and overwhelm were just part of being a busy person, but now I see how those feelings are optional. I’m now effective and productive, and I'm now doing it without the stress. I also have more physical and mental energy for my kids after work. I'm so grateful I chose to invest in myself."
