Swallowing the mom guilt and going on the work trip and enjoying oneself while away is… hard but possible. Important. Do the thing, it’s good to be a real person sometimes outside of parenting responsibilities. San Diego you’re lovely 🌴

1/ Pearls from yoga class...
In between the poses in my Hatha yoga class that I went to this morning, we do Savasana
The teacher is really good about emphasizing the importance of rest as equally, if not more important, than the asanas themselves

Almost two years ago I made a major career change
It's take a long time to figure out who I am again, and I won't even pretend that I've gotten to the bottom of it
But I'm rediscovering who I am and what I love outside of medicine

When a postop patient held my hands
And told me
“You have golden hands
Which in my language means
Your hands do what they were made to do well”
I felt my restlessness melt
And I smiled in gratitude behind my mask
Her words healing me as well
🙏🏽

Woke up the last two days 30 mins earlier than usual to try to write before work and my daughter like clockwork woke up before I could sit down to write. HOW do people with little ones get up early and write? I swear the little ones have an internal alarm 😂

Only after my miscarriage do I start learning about other women in my life who have had miscarriages. It seems like there were so many women around me for years who suffered in silence.
