Dreams are fuel; plans move the car. In this episode, Dr. Gail guides single mom physicians and executive moms through a 90-minute sprint to turn one dream into a Q1 plan you can keep—even during call weeks. You’ll choose a “Big Three” focus, map 12-week milestones, design Base/Standard/Stretch habits, and add If–Then scripts so progress survives real life.

What You’ll Learn

• How to run a 10-minute reality check that actually changes your plan
• Pick ONE high-leverage focus (Money, Time, or Support) for Q1
• The 3-layer breakdown: Outcome → Monthly milestones → Weekly moves
• Build an on-call-proof habit ladder (Base/Standard/Stretch)

Use If–Then scripts, a friction audit, and tiny rewards to keep momentum
