Ep. 7 Working Mom Guilt

Today I talk about one of the most common issues women physicians deal with: working mom’s guilt. I remember being told I could have it all, but no one told me how hard it would be to miss out on my daughters milestones and activities.  I want to share some facts proven by studies that children are not adversely affected by having a working mother. I think this was one of my biggest worries.  I share some ideas from research and from my own experience to hopefully make your parenting more enjoyable. Please remember this: “None of us I decided to have children planning to be miserable and punish ourselves”.
