HOPP 6m CME Coaching

Habits on Purpose for Physicians

CME Small Group Coaching Program

Helping high achievers design deliberate habits for life.

Imagine THE END of:

Beating yourself up
Second guessing
Numbing
Overextending
Overcomplicating everything
Saying yes when you want to say no
Worrying about what others think

Imagine the feeling of waking up in the morning, knowing you're living life on purpose, instead of on the same old default.

Say no more, I'm in!

Hi. I'm Kristi Angevine. I'm a board certified OB/GYN and Master Certified Life and Advanced Deep Dive Coach.

I help high achieving women find the root causes of their current habits so they can design new ones- without willpower and without making themselves wrong along the way.

As Mary Oliver wrote, this is "your one wild, precious life".

Habits like all or none thinking, second guessing, overcomplicating, perfectionism, numbing, ruminating- they take more than they give.

I know. I know because this used to be the automatic default I lived by. You may be like I was, and not know any other way.

That's where the the HOPP coaching program comes in.

HOPP is in its third round. With cognitive and somatic coaching, you will learn why you have your current habits. Then, I'll teach you how to apply practical tools and techniques for real world habit change in your day to day life. This way- you develop a skillset you can use all on your own for the rest of your life.

Imagine...

Instead of feeling like you're a perpetual self improvement project, you trust yourself completely.

Your values and priorities are so clear that you make decisions quickly without worrying about external approval.

Even though life has curve balls and gut wrenching things happen, you don't feel totally batted around by what's outside your control.

Loose ends from work don’t invade family time and you know how to enjoy whitespace and time spent just BEING.

Instead of coping by working more, hustling and numbing, you know exactly when you need rest, and how to give it to yourself (without needing to be near collapse to have permission).

The perfectionist refrain, once I’m ______ (thinner, more organized, smarter, program director, a mom who yells less), then I can be happy, is a thing of the past because you know how to love/trust/approve of yourself right here, right now.

Not only do you have your own back no matter what, you actually deeply care about yourself in the same way you love others.

Imagine the 10 year impact of feeling like your life isn't happening to you. Imagine what you get to model when you're no longer so hard on yourself.

In HOPP, you'll cultivate agency and true self confidence, for life.

Divider Text

This is 100% possible...

when you learn how to partner with yourself and actually implement all the personal development ideas that you already intellectually understand.

I'm ready.

Divider Text

Let's take a moment and consider how you got to where you are today. Slowly, over the years, you learned certain rules, adopted certain beliefs, and you developed amazing habits that served you very well.

But these habits came with a cost.

Divider Text

Underneath your high standards and great work ethic, is overextending at your own expense, perfectionism, and people pleasing, with a steady hum of anxiety, guilt +/- doubt. Sound familiar?

Divider Text

Here's the problem:

From the outside life looks great- but inside- you aren’t settled or content.

It's not your intent, but you overcomplicate nearly everything. You often wake up second guessing- what if I'd done it differently? Your inner critic is ALWAYS present and comparison is like a signature hobby.

Your focus on the future makes you miss out on the present, yet you know life is short and don't want to squander it. You’re sick and tired of feeling overwhelmed by the same to do list you've had for 5 years.

No matter how productive you are, you always feel like you aren’t doing enough or excelling as well as you should be/could be. Be it marriage, work, parenting, relationships, exercise, there's never enough time, you're not doing it as well as so and so.

And somewhere along the line, you missed the memo about how to luxuriate in whitespace.

To add insult to injury- you think should have been able to figure it all out by now. And since you haven't, it's easy to make that mean there's something uniquely defective about you.

I get it. I did ALL of it. In all my roles- doctor, wife, mom, athlete, friend, daughter, neighbor- I overcomplicated. I overextended. I judged myself ruthlessly. It never occurred to me to question my habit of ruminating, catastrophizing and second guessing. My coping mechanism was to work more and go harder. Suck it up, buttercup. I had no clue perfectionism was running the show- because I thought perfectionists were perfect and that FOR SURE wasn't me. Despite outside appearances, insecurity and imposter syndrome were my daily reality. I slapped a smile on and made the best of it, but I never felt truly grounded or self confident. And the added layer of suffering was how inadequate I felt for not being able to figure it out.

The root cause seemed totally elusive and nebulous, so I concluded it was because something was inherently and fundamentally wrong with me.

Such a painful way to live.

So, here's the truth: The only problem is that up until now, no one has taught you how you change old habits and create intentional ones.

Divider Text

This is exactly what you'll learn how to do over the next 6 months together.

Divider Text

HOW? With the HOPP Process, you'll:

Develop the skill of in-the-moment awareness of your habits and learn how to anticipate and interrupt them.
Identify perfectionistic tendencies you may not realize you have by doing a Perfectionism Audit*.
Learn to make decisions ahead of time, so you are fully in control of how you use your time.
Learn to set clean, loving boundaries and say no without drama.
Get crystal clear on what matters most with the Values-Priorities-Wants assessment.
Strengthen the skill feeling your feelings and processing your emotions in a productive way.
Learn when and how to change your thoughts.
Develop a kinder relationship with your default thoughts and feelings as well as a clear process for directing your mind on purpose.
Create a practical thoughtwork routine that fits your life.

*Don't think you are a perfectionist because you are so far from perfect? I see you!

Divider Text

When you put all this together and apply it, you'll begin to change your defaults without willpower and without making yourself wrong.

Is it easy? No.
Is it worth it? Oh yes.

How this program is special:

Small, intimate size:

Individual attention and guidance every step of the way. No getting lost in a massive crowd of clients. No feeling like you don't belong.

Group coaching:

In community, we learn so much more. The power of group coaching is getting coaching and insights you didn't even know you needed, just by being in the same room and actively observing the coaching of others.

One Coach:

You know exactly who will coach you: me! In group and 1:1 calls, we work closely together. I'll guide and support you to UNDERSTAND your old habits so you know exactly how to change them into purposeful ones.

Tangible didactics:

High yield, practical content with on and off the page exercises. This way, you APPLY concepts and tools in your real life. Then we spend 6 months refining them.

Connection & Support

A small community of like minded women who love self development as much as you do. Sharing ideas, discussing challenges and progress, helping one another-- is priceless.

Monthly Modules:

The Fundamentals:

Habits are simply habituated thought patterns and behaviors that that result from repetition. In your first month, you'll learn how your thinking drives your habits and develop a routine for increasing your awareness of your defaults and why you have them.

Habits and Self Concept:

The way you think about yourself guides your entire experience. This month, you'll start unwinding your current mindset about yourself and create an entirely new relationship based on love, curiosity and always having your own back. This is the foundation to create habits on purpose instead of habits on accident.

Habits and Relationships:

Discover what is at the core of all your relationship dynamics. You'll explore how your expectations for yourself and others play out in your experience of the relationships. This month you'll discover how to create more ease in all your relationships: work, family, friends, and your community.

Advanced Implementation:

Integrate advanced concepts into your daily life so you can observe and lovingly direct your mind in real time, not just retrospectively. This month, you'll learn how to think about your best future self. You'll use curiosity as a skill, learn how to take a tiny pause from anything, and ensure you aren't using self development work against yourself.

Habits on Purpose:

Intentionally design and solidify habits that serve you, so you can be deliberate about how you think, feel and show up in your life. This means unraveling people pleasing, time management and perfectionism. It also includes a focus on joy, ease and fun- even in the face of life's uncertainty and unknowns.

Goals and Your Future:

In this final month, you'll synthesize all you've learned. We'll discuss massive action without hustle. You'll explore constraint and impossible goals. You'll learn to set and achieve big goals without excess mind drama. This where your self confidence is solidified.

I'm ready!

She an expert in the field of habit change, but that is only a fraction of the coaching value she provides.

""The most transformative part of coaching with Kristi is realizing and BELIEVING that I am not a victim of life circumstances, but the chief architect and engineer of my life."

Divider Text

"Kristi showed me there really is no aspect of my mind or behavior that is not pliable- parts of me that were "just me", or that I regarded as hardwired, I now realize are available to me to reconsider and ultimately address and mold." M.S, MD Emergency Medicine

"Kristi invites you into a session with a warm and genuine smile. She is very easy to trust and talk to."

Divider Text

"She is so upbeat, cheerful, and pleasant. She coaches in a manner that is so encouraging."

"Kristi is a wonderful coach.

She is patient, clear, and funny, and she allows me to examine my mind by holding space for my thoughts to unfold, without judgement. Given the rich learning material about how the mind works, combined with the space to examine my thoughts, this program has completely transformed the way I live my life as a doctor, as a mom, as a friend, as an athlete.

It has been the best thing I have done for myself after getting married and having kids. I have loved it so much that I am now continuing coaching and am involved in becoming a coach so that I can offer others the same benefits."

-Ioana Lupu, MD, Rural Family Medicine/ER

"I had participated in a coaching course before and was doing thoughtwork myself, but felt I needed a more systematic approach to learn the coaching tools. Kristi’s course was exactly what I wanted because she has designed the course in a very strategic way with a structure that allowed me to learn in a more organized way. Each week there is a theme and a worksheet that integrates as the course continues. The tools slowly incorporate into your daily routine without much effort or feeling overwhelmed. I have recommended this course to all my close friends and would recommend it to any women physician."
-Diana Franco, MD Gastroenterology

Let's be honest. Rewiring habits takes work. It is not always intuitive. It requires a willingness to overcome inertia, do things differently, and feel your feelings instead of barrel through them.
But when you take it on, think of what's possible:

You will build an entirely new relationship with yourself. More love and compassion, less judgement and criticism.

You’ll have more time and energy because you won’t be overthinking spinning your wheels in overwhelm and taking responsibility for other people's emotions.

You'll have a solid self coaching practice and know how to keep up your momentum.

You’ll be more present while at home and at work. No more feeling like you’re not doing enough. No more hustle. White space: non-negotiable.

You'll trust yourself to have your own back even when things don't go as planned. Your failure resilience helps you go for bold goals instead of playing it safe.

And because you direct your mind, instead of it directing you, you can handle any emotion. This means real self confidence.

This work is a privilege I take seriously. It would be my honor to coach you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Divider Text

Why is HOPP so brilliant?

This is the only program of its kind: habit work in a small cohort with a single coach and CME. It's a thoughtfully designed experience with just the right amount of teaching and coaching. All in the container with a rich community of other women doing the same work as you.

Coaching is an evidence based intervention that impacts multiple aspects of physician well being: locus of control, burnout, work/life balance, job satisfaction, happiness and empowerment. Coaching with a Certified Life and Advanced Deep Dive coach who has your best interests at heart, helps you see your blindspots more efficiently than doing this work on your own.

What is the benefit of a 6 month duration?

Just like learning a new physical skill or taking a college course, learning and practicing application of tools and concepts takes time. This duration allows you to develop consistent changes as you go beyond the more superficial gains you can expect in a shorter course.

Why a group coaching program?

The best way to investigate your own thinking habits is with a combination of didactics, real time guidance and learning with others. Without the community piece, learning takes place in a vacuum. Some of the most powerful insights into your own coaching come when blindspots are revealed as you observe a group session.

What if I cannot make all the calls?

No worries. They will be recorded for later viewing.

Is there a lot of required reading?

No. You have a rich and busy life. The content is boiled down to the most high yield elements and tangible exercises.

How will the content be delivered?

You will receive content in weekly video files with optional written worksheets. This way you can work at your own pace, when it works best for you and your schedule.

What is the time commitment?

Group calls are weekly for 1 hour and replays can be listened to at a faster speed. Weekly content is short and easy to consume on your commute or as a part of your morning routine one day a week. The optimal time varies person to person. Since many of my clients are often overworking, overextenders, there is intentional white space built into the program specifically so you can synthesize what you are learning.

Will I get individual attention?

Absolutely. HOPP Small Group Coaching is intentionally kept at a super small size to keep the group intimate and ensure that every participant receives personal attention.

I'm a coach. Will this work be helpful to me?

Yes! About 1/3 to 1/2 of my clients are coaches. Coaches who get regularly coached uplevel the value they bring to their own coaching. Refining your own self analysis helps you help your clients at a deeper level. Keeping on top of your own brain's insidiously tricky ways is simply more efficient when you have someone helping you see your own blindspots. HOPP Small Group coaching is perfect for physicians who are coaches.

Can I do HOPP at the same time as Self Coaching Scholars or a coach training program?

HOPP complements Scholars and is excellent for coaches in training who want to take want they are learning off the page and into real life.

I've never heard of thoughtwork or done any coaching. Is this a fit for me?

The work we do in HOPP helps you develop a foundational base and fluency with thoughtwork concepts. No matter where you are with exposure to coaching, we work together to find thought errors, limiting beliefs and habituated ideas, emotions and behaviors. If you have a question about the fit, email hello@habitsonpurpose.com
