Podcast Feature: Self-Care Starts with “No” for Physician Moms

I’m thrilled to share my recent guest appearance on the Inspired Mom MDs Podcast, hosted by the incredible Cindy Van Praag, MD.


As a physician mom, I know how hard it can be to set boundaries—especially when guilt and obligation seem to whisper, “Just say yes.” But here’s the reality: saying no is often the ultimate act of self-care.


In this episode, Cindy and I discuss:

  • Why boundaries feel different for women—and why that’s okay.

  • How to navigate the guilt of saying “no” to patients while staying true to yourself.

  • Tips for negotiating with colleagues or workplace demands that stretch you too thin.

  • The importance of defining self-care in ways that resonate with YOUR values, not society’s expectations.


This conversation is a powerful reminder to prioritize yourself without apology.
