From Teen Mom to Dr. Karla, DNP — The Mentor Who Turns Grit into Growth

I didn’t just build a business — I built myself.
From a teenage mom juggling bottles and textbooks to a Doctor of Nursing leading her own practice, I learned one thing: no one’s coming to save you — but you can build something that saves others.

By 25, I had three degrees, a record of academic excellence, and the kind of discipline that doesn’t quit when things get hard. That same grit took me into nursing, where I found my purpose: helping others transform their health, their mindset, and their confidence.

I went on to earn my master’s degree, open my own medical practice, and build a brand that helps people reclaim their lives through medical weight loss, hormone therapy, and aesthetics — all while completing my Doctorate.

Now, as Dr. Karla Gochenour, DNP, a board-certified nurse practitioner, I’m showing other nurse practitioners exactly how to do the same — without the confusion, burnout, or trial-and-error that nearly broke me.
Through The Practice Blueprint™ and Belle Dynasty Education & Consulting, LLC I give you the systems, strategy, and support you need to launch and scale a profitable, compliant practice that gives you freedom.

You don’t need more motivation — you need a model that works.
And I built it for you.

In 2023, I was crowned Mrs. USA — not for perfection, but for perseverance. Because confidence isn’t given to women like me; it’s built, earned, and owned.
And that’s exactly what I teach inside The Practice Blueprint™.
