    The Invisible Load: Solo Parenting, Medicine, Military Life & Advocating for Your Child with Aimee

    In today's episode, I’m sitting down with Aimee for an honest conversation about the realities of parenting when your spouse has a demanding career in medicine and the military. We talk about what it’s like to carry the responsibilities of parenting on your own during long shifts, deployments, and seasons when your spouse simply can’t be there for the everyday moments. Aimee also opens up about raising neurodivergent children and the journey of learning to advocate for your child, navigate challenges, trust your instincts, and make sure your child’s needs are heard and understood. We talk about the emotional side of advocacy and what it looks like to keep showing up for your family even when you’re exhausted. Lastly, we dive into Aimee’s role as President of AAOA and the importance of advocating for American Osteopathic Association. This episode is a reminder that behind every physician, service member, and demanding career is often a family navigating their own challenges. We discuss asking for help, finding your voice, taking time for yourself and advocating for your family can make all the difference.

    When Match Day Doesn’t Go as Planned: Navigating SOAP, Marriage & Motherhood with Tiana Peterson

    Match Week is often portrayed as one of the most exciting and joyful moments in medical school but what happens when it doesn’t go according to plan? In today's episode, I’m sitting down with my dear friend Tiana to talk about her family’s experience navigating the SOAP process after her husband didn’t initially match. We’re getting real about the uncertainty, disappointment, and emotional weight that comes with not knowing where your family will end up next. Tiana opens up about what it was like to support her husband through one of the most difficult moments of his medical journey while also processing her own grief behind the scenes. We talk about what it means to be the spouse who is trying to stay strong, how SOAP works from a family’s perspective, and how to navigate the pressure of pursuing a highly competitive specialty. But this story is about so much more than Match Week. With four children and major decisions about their family's future, Tiana shares the realities of making sacrifices for medicine. Including the incredibly difficult decision to leave her older children behind during a recent move. We talk about motherhood, marriage, distance, grief, resilience, and finding hope when your carefully planned path suddenly changes. If you’re a medical student, physician spouse, parent, or anyone navigating an unexpected chapter, I hope this episode reminds you that a different path doesn't mean a failed path.  I’m so glad you’re here 🫶🏻 Apply to be on the podcast |  https://forms.gle/JzRPXWi1fb4H2vLy7 THE MED COMMONS | https://themedcommons.com/ UPSIDE APP | https://upside.app.link/cf39NBorXxb USE CODE: MORGAN45393 PODCAST MERCH| https://www.bonfire.com/life-of-a-dr-wife/ MY LTK |  https://www.shopltk.com/explore/Lifeofadrwife?tab=posts COMFRT |  https://comfrt.com/MORGAN1123 MONARCH |  https://www.monarch.com/referral?r_source=copy&code=vbxf53xf27 FABLETICS SCRUBS | https://www.fabletics.com/?irclickid=SnAWKDx8rxyZTA3TnI3Wn3kcUkuya5UVR0cAVI0&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&utm_medium=influencers&utm_source=impact&utm_campaign=flwomen&irmp=FLW001 Follow the Life of a Dr Wife: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/lifeofadrwife Tik Tok | https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeofadrwife Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573291431207 Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCwzHHkRBz6XuzEfKZW36SHRG6x3askHk Send us Fan Mail Support the show
