    10. Personal Development with Elise Fox

    As medical spouses, we spend a lot of time supporting our partner’s dreams and helping them succeed through the demands of training. While that support is important, it’s also important to remember that we have goals, interests, and talents of our own. Making space for personal growth isn’t selfish—it’s an important part of thriving during this journey. I would love to hear from our listeners on what outlets have helped them through this season! Give us an idea in the comments below! Hopefully that could give someone else an idea that may help them.  Follow along on Instagram for more info @WhiteCoatLife_ThrivingWife

We talk about expectations versus reality, sleepless nights, burnout, marriage, faith, and the small things that have helped them navigate some of the craziest seasons of life.

    7. Is Med School Right for Me? Exploring Other Options with Kendra Kynaston

    If you’ve ever found yourself on the fence about applying to medical school, this episode is for you. Medical school is incredibly demanding, and having a strong “why” is what carries you through the hard seasons. If medicine is truly your passion, you absolutely can do it! But there are also so many other meaningful careers in healthcare where you can make a lasting difference in people’s lives. In this episode, I’m joined by Kendra Kynaston, who recently finished Physical Therapy school, while her husband, Taylor, just completed dental school. Together, we explore a variety of healthcare career paths worth considering and talk honestly about the realities of medical training, lifestyle, and purpose. My hope is that this conversation either strengthens your resolve in pursuing medical school or opens your eyes to other fulfilling options within the medical field. So grab your chocolate, get cozy on the couch (or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts), and join us for the conversation!

    5. Thriving or Just Surviving?

    Have you ever wondered if you’re actually thriving… or just surviving? In this episode, I share how my definition of “thriving” has changed—especially through some of the hardest seasons of my life, like after having my second baby while in school and our current situation. I used to think thriving meant everything was smooth sailing and bliss. But what if thriving actually means growth… even if it feels like you're drowning? I walk through the four areas I use to measure growth in my own life—spiritually, physically, socially, and intellectually—and reflect on what thriving has looked like in both past and current challenges. If you’ve ever felt like you’re barely keeping your head above water, this episode is for you. You might be thriving more than you think. I’d love to hear from you—what’s one way you can tell you’re thriving right now? Or what is something you are currently doing, or something you want to do to grow?
