Hey Doc—
Welcome back to Part 2 of this conversation.
In Part 1, we talked about why so many physician moms end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning whether this is simply what motherhood and medicine are supposed to feel like.
In this episode, we shift to what comes next.
We talk about the beliefs many of us carry into motherhood without ever examining them, why trying to do everything yourself often leads to resentment, and the practical shifts that allow physician moms to thrive without complete self-sacrifice.
From building a village to strengthening your marriage to putting yourself back on your own priority list, this conversation is about creating a version of motherhood that supports your life instead of consuming it.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why you need to define motherhood based on your own values
- The myth that good mothers should do everything themselves
- How building a village creates stronger families, not weaker mothers
- Why investing in your marriage benefits everyone in your home
- How prioritizing yourself makes you a better physician, partner, and mother
Medicine teaches us to put everyone else first. Motherhood often reinforces the same message. It's no surprise so many physician moms feel like they're disappearing in the process.
My hope is that this conversation helps you think differently about what thriving can look like—and reminds you that you get to build a life that fits you.
🎧 Listen now, and if this episode made you think of another physician mom, send it her way.
