QUIET YOUR INNER CRITIC
A Mini-Course on Self-Trust for Women in Medicine
Learn how to quiet your inner critic, rebuild self-trust, and make decisions from calm inner leadership.
You’re accomplished, capable, and highly trained, but your inner critic didn’t get the memo.
If you’re a woman in medicine, you know this cycle…
You replay conversations, worrying you missed something important.
You hesitate to speak up unless you're absolutely certain.
You over-prepare, overwork, or overthink instead of trusting yourself.
You carry guilt for wanting rest, boundaries, or ease.
You feel like everyone else sees your competence more clearly than you do.
You’ve tried being more organized, more efficient, more “positive.”
But no amount of color-coding or productivity hacks touches the underlying self-doubt.
Here’s the truth:
You’re not the problem.
The way you’ve been trained to think about yourself in a broken system is.
This mini-course is your reset button to interrupt those patterns and begin building self-trust from the inside out.
Imagine if you could…
Notice self-doubt as a pattern, instead of believing it’s proof that you’re inadequate.
You can pause the inner critic instead of being run by it.
Interrupt the spiral before it hijacks your evening or weekend.
Make decisions from calm inner leadership rather than fear of criticism.
Feel more grounded, even when the system around you doesn’t change.
You move through work without carrying the day home with you.
This isn’t about forcing confidence.
It’s about reconnecting to yourself in a way that feels calm, grounded, and deeply truthful.
That’s what Quiet Your Inner Critic is designed to help you start doing — in three focused lessons.
What You Get Inside
You’ll get immediate access to three concise video lessons, handouts with summaries, prompts, and tools, and a Student Roadmap; all designed to fit into the demanding rhythms of clinical practice.
Lesson 1: Seeing the Pattern
Theme: Awareness & Understanding
You’ll learn:
Why your brain defaults to self-doubt (and why this is not a personal failing)
The Self-Doubt Cycle women in medicine get stuck in
The Pattern Recognition Map: Are you an over-worker, over-preparer, avoider, permission-seeker, or “stay small” type?
How to notice your pattern in real time — with compassion instead of criticism
Includes: Pattern Recognition Map handout + reflection prompts
Lesson 2: Shifting the Inner Narrative
Theme: Acceptance & Adjustment
You’ll learn:
Why fighting your inner critic head-on often makes it louder
How to work with your nervous system instead of against it
Simple, evidence-informed practices (like hand-on-heart grounding and nervous system cues) to reduce intensity in the moment
A script for talking to yourself the way you’d talk to a beloved patient or trainee
Includes: Self-Talk Reframe Guide + “Small Actions” practice worksheet
Lesson 3: Acting from Self-Leadership
Theme: Action & Identity
You’ll learn:
Why hustle culture keeps you stuck in self-doubt and over-responsibility
How to tell the difference between fear that means “danger” vs. fear that means “this matters”
The four seasons of self-leadership — Rest, Reflection, Growth, Integration — and how to identify your current season
How to choose one values-aligned small action that builds real confidence (without adding more to your plate)
Includes: Self-Leadership & Seasons Guide + One-Action Confidence Plan
Bonus: “Where to Go Next on Your Confidence Journey” Guide
You’ll also get a short next-steps guide to help you:
Integrate your quick wins into daily life
Decide your next level of support (self-guided, community, or coaching)
Know when you’re ready for deeper work, like my RECLAIM Your Life program

You’re exhausted from overthinking, overworking, and second-guessing.
You want tools grounded in science + self-compassion, not hustle culture.
You want to start rebuilding confidence in a way that feels sustainable, not performative.
You’re ready for a gentle reset — not more pressure.
WHO IS THIS NOT FOR:

You prefer traditional productivity tools over inner leadership work.
You’re seeking therapy or crisis-level mental health support (this course is educational, not clinical care).

About the instructor, Christine KemptonI’m a hematologist, Professor at Emory University, and a certified coach for women in medicine.
For over 20 years, I did what many of us do: collected degrees, climbed the academic ladder, took on leadership roles, and tried to prove my worth through achievement. From the outside, it looked like success. On the inside, it felt like walking a tightrope; one mistake away from it all crashing down.
When my work spread into every corner of my life, I realized the cost of living in constant self-doubt and over-responsibility. Recognizing my own burnout, I received coaching and began studying nervous system science, mindset, and self-leadership. I applied those tools to my own life and realized I had been making life more difficult than it needed to be.
Now, through Christine Kempton Coaching and my RECLAIM framework, I help women in medicine interrupt the burnout cycle, rebuild self-trust, and lead from the inside out.
This mini-course condenses some of the most accessible, high-impact tools I teach my private clients — so you can start shifting your relationship with self-doubt right away.

FAQs
“I’m already overwhelmed. How much time will this actually take?”
The mini-course is intentionally short and digestible, with three lesson videos totaling about 60 minutes and handouts after each video to help you integrate and take action. Although it is recommended to do one per week over three weeks, you can set the pace: do one lesson per evening, one per weekend, or binge them in one sitting.
“Is this just for physicians?”
The examples are drawn mainly from my experience and my work with women physicians and clinicians, but the tools are relevant to women across healthcare (APPs, PhD scientists, pharmacists, psychologists, etc.). If you resonate with the patterns described, you’re welcome.
“Is this therapy?”
No. This is an educational and coaching-informed mini-course. It’s not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical care, or crisis support. If you’re in significant distress, please reach out to your physician, therapist, or local emergency resources.
If you're ready to ditch self-doubt and quiet your inner critic so you can lead with confidence, clarity, and inner steadiness, I’d love to have you join us inside Quiet Your Inner Critic.
Because the way you speak to yourself shapes everything: how you show up, how you lead, and how you live.
