Find the full transcript and bonus resources at inspiredmommds.com/72.
There’s a unique resilience you learn when a toddler has a full-scale meltdown in the grocery store, or when a perfect beach day is derailed by a sudden fever.
You learn to pivot. To breathe. To adapt.
The field of medicine, however, teaches you to be regimented, precise, and in control.
So, what if the secret to thriving was found not in a textbook, but in the nursery? What if the skills you learned as a mom are your greatest professional asset?
Today, Dr. Santina Wheat joins us to share her story. She’s a physician, a mom, and a coach who has walked this path. She gets real about her journey of overcoming physician burnout by removing the mask, setting small but mighty boundaries, and rediscovering her purpose.
This conversation is your guide to turning flexibility into a superpower and finding fulfillment in the beautiful, messy blend of medicine and motherhood.
