Relief.Not because I don’t want to be with them. But because I know they are well cared for, loved, and having a full, joyful experience, even when I’m not the one making it happen.In this episode, I’m talking about what it looks like to build a life that actually works with support.We get into:Why the right childcare supports you, instead of replacing youWhat it can look like when your kids are cared for and you can focus on your workThe shift from “this won’t work for me” to “how could this work?”Why so many physician moms hesitate to invest in help, and what that hesitation is costingIf you’ve been telling yourself that getting help isn’t an option, I want you to at least pause and question that.There may be more possibilities than you’ve allowed yourself to consider.🎧 Press play on Stethoscopes and Strollers.And if you know a doc who is stretched way too thin right now, send this to her.What did you think of the episode, doc?
