65 Working Pediatric Moms: The Myth of Work Life Balance

https://302.buzz/PM-WhatAreYourThoughtsDr. Whitney Casares is a private practice pediatrician, American Academy of Pediatrics author, and a mom to 2 young girls in Portland, Oregon.  She says that her kids are her best teachers, but that she also went to school for forever. After completing her undergraduate degree in journalism, she completed her medical school training at the University of Vermont and pediatric residency training at Stanford University. She also holds a Masters of Public Health in Maternal and Child Health from the University of California, Berkeley. Whitney said that after her daughters were born, she got lost in their needs and let hers fall to the wayside. When she went back to work postpartum, life got even more complicated as she layered on more responsibilities and added more to-dos. She had to dive deep to redefine what it means to be a successful mom.  By flipping the switch and investing in her own social and emotional health, she stopped just surviving motherhood and started thriving. [00:01] Dr. Whitney Casares Shares Her Story With UsWhitney talks about her story as a privately practicing pediatricianHere’s why she started blogging and podcasting[07:11] Achieving Work-Life BalanceWhitney gives us a sneak peek into the life of a pediatrician momThe pressure of being a working mom--regardless if you’re a patient or notIf pediatricians are always stressed, this is what will happenIs work-life balance really possible?[17:48] Dealing with Trauma and StressHere are some practical tips from Whitney to de-stressHow to deal with trauma as a pediatrician?What listeners can learn from Whitney’s podcastThe priorities that working pediatrician moms should always haveWhitney’s life framework[31:45] The Special Part of Working in the Pediatric SectorHoliday hacks from Whitney that you should not miss!Whitney has a message for her resident self The special part of being a pediatrician according to Whitney [39:27] Closing Segment  Final takeaways:The reality of being a working momThe harder we work, the less we have to giveWhat people should realize about work-life balanceYou just can't be present if you don't feel goodPractical steps for working moms to improve their livesResources you can access in Whitney’s websiteWhitney’s life framework that you can follow too2 holiday hacks you can tryWhy pediatricians should take care of themselvesThings to reflect upon this holiday seasonKey Quotes:“We can control how we show up for our own lives.” - Dr. Whitney Casares“You are enough.” - Dr. Whitney CasaresEmail [email protected] to connect with Whitney.
