" I am more at peace within myself. Whereas before, I would go into work with a negative attitude 100% of the time, now it’s maybe 30%. I still have work to do, but at least now I have the tools to pause and calm my mind instead of reacting immediately. That’s helped me both at work and at home."

Dr. T.D.
Anesthesiologist

""I am a people-pleaser and don’t want to hurt people, and I would get stressed out trying to do things to please others. But now I have a process where I can recognize and catch myself and set limits—without feeling guilty. And I don’t feel like I’m being taken advantage of. That feels good." "

Dr. N.S.

""Several coworkers have commented that I seem happier and less negative at work. I’m more patient with my fellows and residents, even when they make mistakes or fall short of my expectations.""

Dr. L.C.

""I’ve learned strategies to face conflict without avoidance—and in doing so, I’ve become a more effective leader. I’m more assertive without creating more conflict, and I’ve started resolving issues without feeling like I always get the short end of the stick. That’s transformed all aspects of my life.""

Dr. S.G.

Why I Created Leading from Within

There was a time when I looked like I had it all together on the outside—but inside, I was overwhelmed, stretched thin, and doubting myself constantly.

I didn’t know how to say no without guilt. I didn’t see myself as a leader—just someone trying to survive the day. And even though I was holding leadership positions, I often felt unprepared for the emotional demands of those roles.

I created Leading from Within because I know what it feels like to be highly capable and deeply exhausted. To want to make a bigger impact, but not know how to protect your energy or your peace while doing it.

This course is the roadmap I wish I had earlier in my career. It blends everything I’ve learned as a physician, a leader, and a certified coach—along with the mental fitness tools that changed everything for me.

You don’t need another title to lead.
You need tools, support, and a safe space to reconnect with yourself—and that’s what this journey is about.

About Dr. Asha Padmanabhan

I’m a board-certified anesthesiologist, physician leader, and certified coach with over two decades experience in medicine. I’ve served in leadership roles at the institutional, state, and national levels—and I know firsthand the pressures women physicians face when navigating leadership, boundaries, and burnout.

Through my coaching practice, Leadership Rx, I help women physicians build inner leadership, set boundaries without guilt, and step into their voice—at work and at home.
