Dr. Sara Ayers: A Pediatrician, Mother, and Mindset Mentor Helping Women Thrive
In a world where women physicians often carry the invisible weight of caregiving, leadership, emotional labor, and perfectionism, voices like Dr. Sara Ayers are essential. A dedicated pediatrician and mother of three, Dr. Ayers brings not only clinical experience but also lived wisdom about navigating professional and personal demands with intention, strength, and self-compassion.
A Pediatrician With a Heart for Families—and for Women Who Care for Them
Dr. Sara Ayers has devoted her medical career to pediatrics, a field known not only for its scientific rigor but also for its emotional demands. As a pediatrician, she supports families through moments of uncertainty, triumph, fear, and transformation. Her work requires patience, adaptability, communication, and deep empathy—skills she now brings into her work supporting women as well.
But beyond her role as a physician, Dr. Ayers is also a mom of three, balancing the complexity of raising children with the responsibilities of medical practice. She understands firsthand the daily momentum, mental load, and boundary challenges that so many women juggle.
It is this unique blend—clinician, mother, and mentor—that makes her work so meaningful to the women she now guides.

Coaching as the Catalyst for Personal Transformation
Dr. Ayers shares openly that she has been part of Dr. Ali Novitsky’s coaching programs since nearly the beginning, experiencing their evolution and transformative impact over time.
Her journey began with a simple desire:
to feel better, live better, and show up more fully as both a physician and a mother.
From group coaching sessions to reflective curriculum work, the tools she learned fundamentally reshaped how she approaches:

Burnout prevention
Body image and self-compassion
Identity beyond roles
Leadership and communication

Reclaiming energy and intention
What she discovered was both powerful and deeply personal:
Coaching isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about remembering who you already were before burnout, guilt, and expectations layered over your identity.
This internal shift, built over years of commitment and community, now informs everything she shares with others.
