Picture this: It’s Saturday morning. You’ve carved out a rare two-hour window with no rounds, no emails, no pages. You settle into your favorite armchair with a warm cup of coffee… and immediately, that familiar whisper kicks in: “You should be doing more.”

As a physician mom, your default may be full throttle. Even when life pauses, your minds race ahead checking boxes or planning next steps. Sound familiar?

Today’s episode is about learning how to downshift without guilt, and still feel satisfied.

I’ll guide you through rewriting your personal rulebook so you can downshift without guilt.

You’ll learn to silence that ‘not enough’ voice and root yourself in the present moment. 

Ready to transform your precious downtime into guilt-free sanctuary? Keep listening!
