I learned an unexpected lesson launching my pharmacy consultancy - lasting external empowerment requires courageously owning our inner power first.

You see, going from burned-out hospital pharmacist to passionate remote care entrepreneur felt exhilarating...yet doubt creeped in constantly during the early days.

We all can feel imposter syndrome wondering “Do I actually have anything valuable to offer? Can I really do this?” Perfectionism has a way of making us second-guess basic decisions instead of focusing on what we can do to make progress toward the life we want.

I knew I had to do this, and that there was a better way. I always know it's worth it when I see my clients succeed in enrolling new physician offices, and when I hear stories of patients health actually getting better - not just treating symptoms.

Owning our worth opens up incredible power to then amplify others now free from people-pleasing and external validation traps.

The world needs more empowered pharmacists uplifting communities from oxidized roles. But first, we must boldly empower ourselves from within. Everything shifts when we courageously bet on us.

So who is ready to join me as we empower ourselves and the entire pharmacy profession? Our patients deserve nothing less.
