You don’t need to hustle harder—you need a better ladder.
Ladder5 Coaching is a transformational framework designed specifically for women doctors who are ready to stop surviving and start leading with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Your journey unfolds in five powerful phases:
Pillar 1
Clearing the Chaos: Where Are We Going?
Clarity is the foundation of intentional living. This pillar guides you in defining what success looks like short and long term, personally and professionally, so you can lead with purpose.
Pillar 2
The Compound Effect: How Do We Get There?
Confident leadership requires confident decisions. This pillar helps you understand and track your financials, so you can use data, not emotion, to guide your strategy and protect profitability.
Pillar 3
Leading With Impact: Who Is On The Journey?
The way you show up as a leader directly impacts your culture, your results, and your peace of mind. This pillar teaches you how to lead from your values, communicate with clarity, and build a team that carries your mission forward.
Pillar 4
Rooted In Resilience: Learning To Trust Your Decisions
Resilience is about staying grounded. This pillar helps you shift from reactive to rooted leadership by trusting your own clarity, responding with discernment, and anchoring in your values.
Pillar 5
Legacy In Motion: Creating A Legacy Of Lasting Impact
Your legacy isn’t a future milestone, it’s built in your daily mindset and decisions. This pillar invites you to step into the vision of the woman and leader you’re becoming and to lead with intention, impact, and lasting purpose.

"She trains you to elevate your thinking"

Working with Summer has been a game-changer. She brings a refreshing perspective as a woman in the field that’s grounded, insightful, and deeply empowering. She helps you think strategically and big-picture, always moving with intention toward your goals. Her experience shines through every session, and the way she trains you to elevate your thinking has blown my mind. I’ve gained tremendous clarity and purpose.

"Grew my production by $100k a month"

I can’t recommend Ladder 5 enough. When I met Dr. Kassmel, I was a burned-out dentist struggling with a start-up while running my practice. She helped me find the courage to go all in with my start-up. Within a year, I grew my production by $100k a month. She also helped me find balance and systematize my business so I can be a more present mom and wife. This program changed everything.
Dr. Emily Dennison
"She has a no BS approach"

I’m forever grateful I met Summer. Her mentorship transformed my business and lifestyle. Working with her, I increased profits and gained the flexibility and freedom I have today. Summer listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and truly understands problems before offering solutions. She has a “no BS” approach that’s clear, direct, and immediately actionable. She truly understands the challenges of being a female dental owner.
Dr. Mila Cohen
"Great at understanding people and leadership"

What makes Summer special is how she recognizes what it takes to solve problems. She asks the right questions and gets to the core of issues with a solution-focused approach. Summer is great at understanding people and has an ability to connect with anyone. She asks questions in a non-judgmental way, cares deeply, and follows through. She’s confident yet humble, and knows both the dental business and the business of leadership.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the 5 Pillars Program?
The 5 Pillars Program is a guided framework designed to help women dentists reconnect with their purpose, lead with clarity, and grow their practice in a way that feels aligned—not overwhelming. Through mindset coaching, strategic tools, and leadership development, we walk you through five core areas: Vision, Data, Leadership, Resilience, and Legacy.
I’m already successful—how do I know this is for me?
This program isn’t about teaching you how to “get more done.” It’s about helping you realign with what truly matters. Many of our clients are already high-achievers who feel unfulfilled, disconnected, or burned out. If you’ve built a life that looks great on paper but feels off inside, this is for you.
How much time will this take? I’m already maxed out.
We get it—you’re busy. That’s why this program is designed to fit into your life, not take it over. Each module is focused, intentional, and built to create meaningful change without requiring hours of extra work. This is about working smarter—with more clarity, not more hustle.
