Even though my white coat taught me to power through, my heart knows a different truth.

Pausing isn’t a weakness, it’s survival.

But the dilemma is how to rest as a physician mom when everyone needs you – from your patients to your family, to your dog or cat!

It can be a challenge to slow down as a type A mom, and doctor, I know. (I am one.)

You feel like you’ll lose your edge, your credibility, that things will fall apart.

But there are ways to reclaim that time and protect your energy with rest.

Today, I share simple shifts that let you pause without falling behind.

I’ll introduce you to the “Snow Globe Effect” and micro-practices that turn stolen seconds into reset points.

You can stop fearing the break and lean into it.

Give yourself permission to pause today because rest is not a luxury, it’s a secret superpower!

I’m a board-certified physician, but this content isn’t connected to my clinical practice, and no doctor-patient relationship is formed here. Please always talk to your own health professional about any mental or physical health concerns. And as always, take what helps and leave the rest.
