74. Part 2 | No Map, No Mentor, No Regrets: Dr. Alexandra Stockwell’s Bold Path in Medicine and Motherhood

Stethoscopes and Strollers

We’re back with Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Alexandra Stockwell, and this half of her story is just as rich and revealing as the first.

If Part 1 was about identity and navigating early motherhood in medicine, Part 2 is all about intention in childcare, career, and designing a life that actually supports who you are.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The “internal invisibility” of returning to medicine after baby and why no one seemed to notice she had changed
• Why she chose not to be an intern at the same time as her husband, and how that decision created real alignment for their family
• The unheard-of residency opportunity she received eight weeks postpartum and how she strategically negotiated her non-negotiables
• Her unconventional medical career: part-time, home-based, holistic, and completely values-aligned
• The quiet inner knowing that eventually led her to close her practice and reinvent herself again this time as a coach
  

Dr. Stockwell’s journey is a masterclass in courage, clarity, and honoring what matters most, even when the world around you doesn’t understand it.

✨ Press play to hear how she built a career and family life that never asked her to choose between the two.
