Parenting as a doctor mom can feel surprisingly hard.

You spend your day calm and focused with patients… solving problems and helping people through some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives.

And then you walk through the door at home.

Suddenly the skills that serve you so well in medicine don’t always translate. 

You’re tired, your kids need you, emotions are high, and instead of feeling steady and patient, you feel reactive and overwhelmed

Some days it feels like parenting as a doctor mom is harder than residency. 

Today I’m joined by Dr. Juhi Raizada, a pediatrician, parent coach, and physician mom of two. With nearly two decades in pediatrics, she now helps parents navigate the space between being an excellent doctor and being the parent they want to be at home.

Medical training wires us to fix problems at work, not necessarily at home. Listen in for new, creative ways to move from reactivity to peace with your kids.
