If women physician leaders celebrated themselves and their accomplishments more often, the ripple effects could be powerful — not just personally, but for
- their teams,
- their organizations,
- and even the larger healthcare system.
I’ve seen it firsthand — how one small tradition of reflection and laughter brought an entire department closer together.
And I’ve felt it too — the uncomfortable but necessary stretch of learning to celebrate myself out loud, especially in a new season of building something from scratch.
Because celebration isn’t fluff. It’s fuel.
It strengthens confidence, builds culture, and reminds us of the impact we’re already making — even when the work feels never-ending.
So today, we’re talking about what happens when we stop rushing past our wins and start honoring them — out loud, unapologetically, and together.
Dr. Stephanie Yamout helps women physician leaders get their time back, own their value, and command the room as they were born to do. For coaching support, apply for Stephanie's Signature Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you to a call.
