What if the time you’re spending caring for everyone else – your patients, your kids, your parents – isn’t lost time at all, it’s just a different kind of calling?

In Episode 76, I began this conversation about the sandwich generation moms and today I have a special guest, Dr. Krystal Sodaitis, to continue that journey by finding community in the sandwich generation. 

She is a physician leader, certified coach, and author of a book on this very topic. 

Together, we talk about what it’s really like to be both doctor and daughter,
 how perfectionism shows up when you’re stretched thin,
 and how a little vulnerability can open the door to connection.

Dr. Sodaitis shares a gentle reminder we all need, a permission slip to pause. And she shows us that community often begins with one honest moment of “me too.”

Stay with us. This conversation might just help you feel a little less alone.
