Hey Doc —
Dr. Toya Coaching is turning two! 🎉
Two years ago, I had a newborn, a burnout hangover, and an idea that didn’t make much sense on paper, but made perfect sense for my life. What started as a postpartum support concept has evolved into a global coaching brand, a thriving community, and an impact that‘s undeniable.
In this anniversary episode, I’m reflecting on the year everything changed — the burnout, the baby, the business, and what I’ve learned about building boldly when the plan doesn’t make sense to anyone else.
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s about the real lessons behind the glow-up:
how I certified my way into a trap, how clarity showed up when I stopped trying to be “qualified enough,” and how every detour — even the useless ones — got me exactly where I was supposed to be.
We talk about:
- The trap of overqualifying yourself before you start
- Why “just start” is more powerful than another certification
- How every misstep can still move you forward
- The mindset shift that turns fear into freedom
- And why you don’t need to see the end to take the first step
This is a celebration, but it’s also a reminder: you can build boldly, even when you’re unsure, or a little scared.
Every dream needs a starting point. Two years ago, this was mine.
🎧 Go listen now, and share this episode with another physician mom who needs the reminder that her bold move doesn’t need permission — just a beginning.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
