    Moving in Medicine: The Chaos

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes reality of relocating for residency while balancing marriage, parenthood, homeownership, and all the emotions that come with closing one chapter and beginning another. From moving trucks and endless to-do lists to saying goodbye to the community we've built over the last four years, this transition has been equal parts exciting and overwhelming. I’m talking about the stress, the unexpected challenges, the moments that tested us, and the lessons we've learned along the way. If you're preparing for a move in medicine, supporting someone who is, or simply navigating a season of major life changes, this episode is for you. Because while medicine often focuses on the next step in training, there’s an entire family moving through the chaos, too. Join me as I share the highs, the lows, and why sometimes the most meaningful growth happens in the middle of the chaos.

    PA vs DR: Different Roads to the White Coat

    In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with my older sister, Meghan, to talk all about her journey becoming a Physician Assistant / Physician Associate and how her path compares. We dive into the real differences between the PA and physician routes. From schooling, clinical training, work-life balance, to the day-to-day realities that people don’t always see behind the white coat. As sisters, this conversation is honest, unfiltered, and full of perspectives from both sides of medicine. And of course… we end with a hot-topic debate: Should PAs and Residents receive the same salary? Meghan shares her thoughts, and let’s just say… this conversation gets interesting. Whether you’re in healthcare, considering PA school or med school, or just curious about the differences between these professions, this episode gives an inside look into two very different paths with one shared goal.

    Welcome to the Life of a Dr Wife

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing my story. How my husband and I met right after high school, navigated long distance through college, and eventually finding ourselves building a life around medicine.  From weekend visits and FaceTime calls to medical school, residency, and now life in Lynchburg, VA as a wife and mom. This episode is a real, honest look at what it’s like to grow up alongside someone chasing a career in medicine. We’re talking about: • What no one tells you about being in a relationship with someone in medicine • The shift from “normal life” to the unpredictability of med school + residency • Learning to build your own identity while supporting your partner • The emotional, funny, and very real moments behind the scenes This podcast was created to give a voice to the people behind the doctors — the spouses, partners, and families living this life every day. If you’ve ever felt proud, overwhelmed, lonely, or just confused by this lifestyle… you’re not alone. And you’re in the right place.
