You’re a woman physician.

You care deeply.

And you’re tired of feeling like you're the problem.

You didn’t fail the system—the system never made space for your humanity.
It’s time to reclaim your energy, your boundaries, and your life.
Coaching and community for women physicians who are done breaking themselves to hold everything else together.

👉 Let’s talk about what you actually need.

You’re a woman physician.

You care deeply.

And you’re tired of feeling like you're the problem.

You didn’t fail the system—the system never made space for your humanity.
It’s time to reclaim your energy, your boundaries, and your life.


Coaching and community for women physicians who are done breaking themselves to hold everything else together.

I’m Dr. Megan Melo.

I’m a family and obesity medicine physician, an expert in metabolic and menopause health, and a coach for women physicians trying to stop gaslighting themselves into burnout in a broken healthcare system.

For years, I thought if I just worked harder, charted faster, set better reminders, or cared more—I could finally “catch up.”

I couldn’t.

Like many of my clients, I was overwhelmed, people-pleasing, disconnected from my own needs. On the outside, I looked “fine.” Inside, I was unraveling quietly (ok, sometimes NOT so quietly...), and resenting the job I once loved.

What changed? I stopped believing the system’s story. I started writing my own.

Now, I help other women physicians reclaim what matters most: their peace, their bodies, their time, and their own inner voice. My work blends real medicine, real rest, and radical self-permission.

👉 Meet with me – no pitch, just permission.

 Let's talk about you and what you need for a change....

💬 What I Do 

💡 This is not therapy. This is not generic coaching. This is coaching by someone who’s in the trenches.

Whether you’re navigating clinical chaos, perimenopause symptoms, professional burnout, or the aftermath of a toxic system—our work will center around this truth:

You are not broken.

You are carrying too much, with too little care.

Let’s change that.

đŸ©ș This Work Is for You If You’re a Physician Who is


  • Looking like she's got herđŸ’©together —but secretly burned out

  • Used to being the reliable one, the good girl, the overachiever—even when it costs you

  • Fielding 20 inbox messages after your clinic day ends

  • Carrying the emotional weight of frustrated patients, demanding administrators, and your own guilt

  • Resentful of how your job feels now—but afraid to admit it out loud

  • Starting to notice your body changing (weight, sleep, cycles, anxiety), and wondering if you’re falling apart

  • Looking for clarity about whether it’s the system, the season, or you

  • Unsure if you need therapy, coaching, or just a damn break

You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

What you’re experiencing isn’t a personal failure. It’s the predictable outcome of being trained to overfunction, overgive, and override your own needs inside a system that rewards martyrdom.

This coaching isn’t about fixing you—it’s about freeing you.

 

🔁 What Changes (That You Can Actually Feel):

Before Coaching:

  • You wake up already behind.

  • Your to-do list spills into evenings and weekends—and your brain never turns off.

  • You’re helping everyone but yourself, and certainly no one is helping you.

  • You know the EMR isn’t the only thing draining you—but don’t know where to start.

  • You're not even sure what your needs are anymore.

After Coaching:

  • You pause before saying yes; and mean it when you say no.

  • You feel more grounded, even when the chaos doesn’t stop.

  • You start protecting your energy like you protect your patients.

  • You learn how to take care of yourself without apologizing or overexplaining.

  • You recognize the system’s gaslighting for what it is—and stop internalizing it.

  • You realize you’re not alone. You’re part of a quiet revolution of women physicians taking their lives back.

This is not about leaving medicine.

 It’s about leaving behind the version of you who thought self-sacrifice was the only way to be a good physician (and human).
Let’s build something steadier. Something saner. Something that feels like you.
