Physician Moms can have it all - Guilt Free!
Do you feel stuck in an endless cycle of burn-out at work and even at home? Do you get home from work exhausted and feeling like you have nothing more to give? Do you then become easily frustrated with your kids and spouse ultimately feeling like you are failing at everything?
I help physician mothers with:
Parenting
You created your dream family to only find yourself not enjoying parenting as much as you think everyone else is. Wondering what you are going to do and how you can possibly be the parent you want to be. The parent you think you should be.
Physician Burn Out
You have worked so hard and sacrificed so much to have the job others dream of, yet you are overwhelmed, confused, angry, and at times even broken. Feeling as if you have no choices and are not able to practice as you had imagined. This is not a rite of passage, it can be different.
Relationships
Are you feeling like somethings gotta give and unfortunately it's been your relationship with your partner, or worse off, yourself? You still want the relationship, but you feel stuck and don't know how to change.
It's time that you fight for YOU.
Help erase the feelings of guilt, perfection, people pleasing, and the social pressure that makes it seem that you have to have everything "together."
I see you mama!
I dreamed of becoming a doctor since I was a young child. So, like you I jumped through all the hoops thinking that when I got there I would feel magical. Yes it was and then it wasn't. So I set my sights on the 'next' horizon thinking that once I got there, I would finally have the life and happiness I'd been working for so long.
Increased demands on our time and unrealistic expectations of endurance wear us doctors down. Add moral distress, systemic issues within healthcare, and cultural differences that are sometimes misunderstood; this is a recipe for self destruction.
Along the way I married my best friend and we had 3 gorgeous children. Now to find I'm too tired and irritable when I get home to enjoy my family, then feeling guilty because work seemed an easier place to be then at home with them.
Life coaching completely changed this for me. So I became a certified life coach to be able to help other doctor moms rediscover the joy that medicine and family once brought.
