The Insane Truth About

life-work balance in pediatrics

No one told you that every hour of every day you spend as a pediatrician brings another coin toss.

Sometimes you cross the threshold of the exam room and are met with the loveliest families who appreciate and respect your expertise and trust your intentions as a champion for children's health and well-being.

But the coin doesn’t always flip in your favor.

Other times, you enter with a friendly knock and a smile but are met with surly suspicion, your every recommendation met with a rebuttal, compliments of WebMD or the Facebook wellness influencer-of-the-month.

But at least you’re well-paid, right?

In terms of humans, yes, and eternally grateful. That is until you have a lunch date with a surgeon friend and question your life’s choices, or remember that at any moment the clearing house could get hacked *cough* again *cough* leaving you wondering when or how healthcare employees will get paid.

It's not about the money or the admiration — the real reward is knowing you’re

making a difference in children’s future

which is an investment in all of our futures.

Time is the most valuable currency anyway which is why it’s so frustrating that:

You’re knee-deep in charts

Your kids say you miss out on everything

Your spouse says you're always distracted

You’re stretching the definition of “downtime”

You’re avoiding your own thoughts (and begging everyone else to share theirs)

You’re counting down to your yearly family vacation where you’ll think about work all week

You’re only 11 pages into the time management book you purchased that you know will be the answer to all of your problems (you just need smaller habits)

Sure, you could buy another book or online course, or book a ticket for AAP again, but how has being one of thousands fared for you so far?

You could even try attending a users’ conference, or take some time to sharpen your practice management skills, but will you have the mental strength to follow through on all you learn? Really?

It’s ok to be honest because

it's not your fault.

Pediatricians are as wealthy in minutes as anesthesiologists, dermatologists, and oncologists.

It’s time to take back your time at the first and only conference created for female pediatricians, by a female pediatrician.

Learn to Avoid Burnout

in just 3 days

What if there was a way to...

Start each day feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to tackle your professional and personal responsibilities with clarity and purpose

Claim the time and space to focus on yourself without feeling guilty or overwhelmed by competing demands from your family, or the families you serve

Set boundaries that protect your time and allow you to recharge and rejuvenate, because self-care is not a luxury but a necessity that you prioritize without hesitation

Advocate confidently for your needs and priorities, fostering healthier relationships with your colleagues, patients, and stakeholders

Pursue your passions, nurture your interests, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and balance

“This was so much better than expected. Very needed and appreciated. It was just the right mix of learning, thinking, connection, and rejuvenation.

There’s a Better Way to approach life as a pediatrician

true support means...

"...re-introducing meaningful professional non-patient time for education, reflection, and planning.

we hear you:

It has taken all my energy to provide social-emotional centering for my family in addition to the practical work I provide as a mother, default family caretaker (as a physician), and general problem-solver. My ability to troubleshoot logistical changes and create new routines for my family has limits

You’ve reached and exceeded your limits

too many times to count.

Find the freedom you seek within the 24 hours you already have in a supportive group of fellow female pediatricians who truly get it.

i get it. Because I live it.

Hi There

I'm Katrina

the founder of Women in Pediatrics

I've always been passionate about caring for children and supporting families. However, I realized that while I was giving my all to my patients, I was neglecting an essential aspect of my life - myself. The constant demands of the profession were taking a toll on my well-being, leaving me feeling drained and overwhelmed. I searched for help but came up short, everything felt too big, too impersonal, and too general to foster change.

Driven by the desire to make a better way for myself and other female pediatricians, I founded Women in Pediatrics.

This platform is not just about empowering female pediatricians—it's about reclaiming our time, nurturing ourselves, and advocating for our own well-being. I believe that by taking care of ourselves, we can continue to be the strong advocates for our families, patients, and communities that we are meant to be.

Through Women in Pediatrics: Empower Express 2024, I aim to create a supportive community where we can share our experiences, learn from each other, and grow together. With strategies and sessions on life-work balance and self-care and practical tips for professional development,

this event is designed to equip us with the tools we need to thrive in both

our professional and personal lives.

Pediatricians reporting increases in flexibility and support show the strongest increase in work satisfaction. (AAP.ORG)

That’s exactly why I created

Women in Pediatrics

to help you cultivate well-being & success in a conclave of inspiration and strategy.

In just three days, discover the power of prioritizing your well-being and replenishing yourself so you can stop rationing the final drops of an empty cup.

I feel better than I have in years. I really needed this time with other doctors in a similar place in life, especially other women!”

— Elissa R.

Yes! I Want to be empowered!

Join me in this transformative journey of self-empowerment. I’ll share the methods I use myself to find time to knit and nap while balancing family, patients, and several businesses.

Together, we can take back our time, make space for ourselves, and continue to make a positive impact in the world of pediatric care.

- where we advocate for ourselves so we can better advocate for others.

frequently asked questions

How much time is required?

Only one day out of office! There is a way to keep yourself and your practice healthy—learn how in less than 48 hours at Women in Pediatrics: Empower Express 2024. We’ll have opening remarks in the afternoon on Friday, October 25 and we’ll close around noon on Sunday, October 27.

Will you help with travel/flights/shuttles?

Our hotel is located less than an hour from both Chicago O’Hare and Chicago Midway International Airports. Happy Hour will be held at the hotel on Friday and Girl’s Night Out will be within walking distance on Saturday. The conference sessions will be held at the hotel, so give yourself time to make it to breakfast, but there will be no need for transport once you arrive.

I’ve already been to a Women in Pediatrics Retreat. How is this different?

Thanks for being a loyal member of the Women in Pediatrics community! This event is shorter and is located in an easy-to-access mainland US city so reaching us will be a breeze. This is the fly-in version of the event you know and love.

I’m not a female pediatrician. Will this event help me?

This event is uniquely designed to address the needs of female pediatricians. Our guest list, speakers, and agenda have all been curated with the female pediatrician, and only the female pediatrician, in mind. That said, all are welcome. If you’d like to bring your practice administrator or a friend with a different medical specialty, we’ll be happy to have them.

Will you be releasing more in the future?

Looking for something more luxurious? Join us for Retreat 2025 in Riviera Maya, Mexico!

Can I use this for CME credit?

Yes! This experience is powered by CMEfy – an AI-powered platform that directs learners along a pathway to capture reflections at the point of inspiration, point of care. Clinicians may earn CME/CE credit via ReflectCE, the accredited activity portal. Learn more at about.cmefy.com/cme-info

Can I share this with a friend?

We’ve included prices for both single and double-occupancy attendees. If you choose double occupancy, just let us know who your roommate will be in the post-purchase survey. We can also assign you a roommate if you prefer. However, even if you arrive not knowing a single person in attendance, we’ll create plenty of opportunities for you to connect with fellow female pediatricians.

Are meals included?

What if I have allergies? All meals, snacks, and breaks are included during the conference. Please let us know about your allergies in the post-purchase survey, so we can accommodate your meals and snacks.

Will you offer digital access?

We don’t have plans to offer live digital access at this time. However, we may offer audio access in the future. Stay tuned for release details in future emails. Join our list to stay in touch.

What are the key takeaways that attendees can expect after participating in this 3-day live event?

Women in Pediatrics: Empower Express 2024 was created to help female pediatricians take back their time and prioritize self-care with plenary sessions, activities, and mealtimes packed with tools and tactics to help you overcome the perceived lack of time that often hinders your success. You’ll return home agreeing with this previous attendee: “This is the second Women in Pediatrics retreat I have attended, and each time I’ve been reminded why I chose medicine and specifically pediatrics. The road has been long and hard and feels defeating some days. This event is a way to become reinvigorated to do important and meaningful work.”

Will there be opportunities for networking and connecting with other female pediatricians during the event?

Absolutely! We’ve built connection into every part of the event to ensure you leave feeling seen and supported like a previous attendee who shared, “I think WIP is amazing and feels like a group that has my back whether they know me personally or not which is powerful.” Women in Pediatrics is where you find your people.
