Hey doc! In this episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I'm having a vulnerable conversation with Dr. Erica Bove, a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Specialist and fertility coach who shares her powerful journey through motherhood during medical training, unexpected divorce, and rebuilding her life and career.

Dr. Erica opens up about:

  • Having her first child during residency and navigating early motherhood with limited support
  • Experiencing a dramatic birth during Hurricane Sandy and a challenging unmedicated delivery with her second child
  • Discovering her husband's affair with their nanny and rebuilding her life as a single mom
  • Finding her path to fertility coaching after realizing clinical medicine wasn't serving her family

Key takeaways:

  • The critical importance of trusting your intuition, even when it's telling you something you don't want to hear
  • How finding the right support system can transform your experience as a Physician mom
  • The power of boundaries and self-advocacy, especially during life's hardest moments
  • Learning to rebuild your identity after divorce or other major life transitions

Dr. Erica shares why she created Love and Science Fertility, a coaching practice specifically for female physicians navigating fertility journeys, including those experiencing secondary infertility.

Remember, doc, your intuition is a powerful tool - both in medicine and in life. Trust yourself.

Erica Bove, MD, is the mother of two boys who are 12 and 10. At times, she prefers to be called "Mama Bear." She is a double board certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist (REI) physician at the University of Vermont, as well as a certified life coach through The Life Coach School. She is also the founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. She has a keen interest in marrying an evidence-based approach with intuitive knowing in the context of a trusting relationship. She empowers physician women to build their families with confidence, compassion and community. Her mission is to heal and support the healers and to create a legacy she is proud of.
