A one-day conference for female pediatricians
EMPOWER EXPRESS
November 10, 2025
Dallas, Texas
What if one day could open the door to a completely different kind of year?
One Day. Unlimited You.
Less Hustle. More Clarity. Real Momentum.
From the outside, you’ve got it all together. But inside?
You’re exhausted.
You’re running the practice, managing the team, handling home—and still putting yourself last.
You’re killing it.
But also? It’s kinda killing you.
You don’t need another inspirational quote.
Imagine instead if you had space to think.
A strategy that sticks.
And a plan that puts you back in the picture.
it’s not too late to flip the script.
Before you sprint into another year running on fumes, take one day to get clear on what you want.
EMPOWER EXPRESS
isn't a pep talk.
It’s a reset—with structure, support, and a plan built to hold up in real life.
Not just what you want for 2026, but how to get there—and actually stay on track.
In just one day,
you’ll walk away with:
Clear, meaningful goals for 2026 and beyond—no more vague intentions that disappear by Q2
A calendar that reflects your actual values, not just your obligations
A renewed sense of purpose, grounded in your own why
Simple, supportive systems you can actually maintain
Community and accountability with women who truly get it
The confidence to lead your life, not just react to it
And you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be surrounded by women who get it—who’ve lived it—and are ready to grow alongside you.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and finally in charge of your time, your vision, and your year ahead.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters.
“THANK YOU for this transformational experience.”
“This was an amazing group of women and an empowering time to learn, grow and reflect. I walked away with new friends, new skills for running my business and my life, and a new outlook on how to reach my goals.”
— Dr. Kelly P.

Dr. Morgan is a pediatrician, entrepreneur, and the founder of Pirate Pediatrics. Since opening her practice in 2012, she has created a space where families feel heard, supported, and empowered. Her journey as a physician and mother has been deeply shaped by her own health crisis—a turning point that challenged her belief that success meant doing it all alone. Now, she brings that hard-won perspective to the stage, sharing lessons in vulnerability, sustainability, and redefining what it means to lead well.

Katie Schafer, DO, is a co-owner of Bloom Pediatrics in Birmingham. A Detroit native, she completed her medical training at Michigan State University and the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. Board certified since 2010, Dr. Schafer enjoys being active in the American Academy of Pediatrics and local city boards.

Agenda at a Glance
EMPOWER EXPRESS
Intentional, high-impact sessions designed to help you think clearly, plan confidently, and leave with a 2026 that reflects you.
The Power of Perspective
Dr. Katrina Skinner
We open with intention. This grounding session sets the tone for the day—and reminds you that taking a step back is often the boldest way to move forward.
Yes Is the Answer. What Is the Question?
Dr. Katie Schafer
Dr. Katie Schafer shares how she moved from ideas to impact—turning a vision into a community-centered program addressing homelessness. Her story is a reminder that clarity, courage, and support systems can turn even your most ambitious ideas into reality.
Leading Without Losing Yourself
Dr. Caroline Morgan
What happens when you push through everything—until your body makes the decision for you? In this powerful session, one pediatrician shares how a health crisis forced her to stop doing it all. If you’ve ever felt like the only way to succeed is to hold it all together alone, this session will challenge that belief—and show you a better way forward.
2026 Glow-Up Workshop
Dr. Katrina Skinner, Erin Auer & Natalie Clarke
In this hands-on session, you’ll work with the Women in Pediatrics team to define what you want for 2026—and create the plan and systems to follow through. No more conference notes that never see the light of day. You’ll leave with a vision that fits your life, and a structure that makes it stick—even when things get messy.
Closing Panel + Wrap-Up
We’ll close with reflections from the day’s speakers—plus one final reminder: this time, you’re not going home with ideas. You’re going home with momentum.
Other sessions and speakers to be announced!
“Empower Express is the perfect opportunity!”
“Every professional woman needs regular time to work on our personal values, vision, and goals. Empower Express is the perfect opportunity to do that with accountability, inspiration, and a whole lot of fun!”
— Dr. Nola E.
frequently asked questions
Who is Empower Express for?
Empower Express is for female pediatricians who are ready to step into 2026 with more clarity, more energy, and a plan that reflects what matters most. Whether you're in private practice, academic medicine, or juggling multiple roles, this is your space to reset with purpose.
Is this only for pediatricians?
Empower Express is designed with female pediatricians in mind—but other women are absolutely welcome. If you’ve got a colleague, office manager, neighbor, sister, or best friend who would benefit from a day of clarity, connection, and purpose-driven planning, bring them along. The more, the better.
What’s included with registration?
Your ticket includes the full one-day conference on Monday, November 10, all sessions and workshops, curated materials, refreshments, and tools to help carry your vision into 2026.
What’s the “Sunday Upgrade” I keep hearing about?
The Empower Express Unwind Experience is an optional pre-conference add-on for those who want to enhance their experience. Arrive Sunday for boutique shopping, a private dinner, and a mini spa treatment. It’s connection, conversation, and calm—before the day of clarity begins.
Do I have to attend the Sunday experience to come on Monday?
No, Monday is the main event. Sunday is just a chance to arrive refreshed and grounded if that feels right for you.
I don’t even know what I want for 2026. Is this for me?
Yes. Especially if that’s where you are. We’ll help you figure it out, one clear next step at a time.
Will I get CME credit for this event?
Yes! CME credit will be offered for eligible sessions. Details will be shared closer to the event.
What if I can’t stay the whole day?
You’ll get the most value by attending the full experience, as each session builds on the last. That said, life happens and we’ll support you however we can.
What’s the cancellation policy?
Refunds are available (minus a $50 processing fee) up to 30 days before the event. After that, tickets are non-refundable but fully transferable.
What if I don’t know anyone?
You won’t be the only one—and you definitely won’t feel that way for long. Empower Express is designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and connection-focused from the moment you arrive. Whether you come solo or bring a friend, you’ll leave with new relationships, shared stories, and a sense of community that lasts far beyond the day.
You don’t need a week away to reset your year.
You just need one day that’s truly yours.
Before you plan another year, plan this day.
