178. Moving Towards A Life You Love with Dr. Preetika Sidhu

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

Dr. Preetika Sidhu has been coaching with me since July 2020.

In 2024, she lives a completely different life than when we met three and half years ago.

When we first met, she worried that she wasn’t “helpable.” Since then, she has changed her thoughts on money, medicine, relationships and even her vision of what a life well lived looks and feels like.

In this next episode in the successful coaching journey series, Preetika shares how coaching helped her learn to listen to her intuition and trust herself - as a physician, mom, wife, and real estate investor.

She shares how having a coach is like a gym membership for her and why she plans to continue to work with a coach ongoing.

In 2020, she felt hopeless, stuck, broken, and miserable in her ObGyn private practice. She knew what she didn't want to do and what wasn’t working but she didn’t know what she wanted to do. She catastrophized about leaving a toxic job without another job in place and struggled to imagine a different life.

Within 5 months of coaching, she had pivoted to a hospitalist position which gave her enough white space to discover other passions. Over the last three years, she has continued coaching and grown a daily mindfulness practice. She has discovered she loves real estate investing. She has recently also connected with a passion for menopause telemedicine.

Preetika has been weaning her monthly hospital OB shifts over the last 18 months. In late 2023, she gave notice at her hospitalist job. She will have her last in-house overnight Labor and Delivery shift in February 2024.
