    Episode 122: Conquer Your Life Masterclass

    You can conquer your life
    !In my years as a woman, professional mom, and wife, I have realized that we almost always lose ourselves, thanks to the ever-happening life seasons and demands. Many times, we seem not to have our lives, health, and wellness together.
    The major shift came after I sunk into undiagnosed post-partum depression after my twins. From the mom who had her well-fitting jeans with her life and career going, to a mom-of-four suddenly trying to figure out how to get through just one day. I thought the experience was going to be seamless like it had been with the other two. But no...
    The duplicity of twins took an emotional toll on me. I had help all around me but couldn't ask because I was trying to be supermom...Superwife, Super-physician, without breaking. Lie!
    My health spiraled downwards, and I found myself faced with a chronic illness that required steroid injections and multiple doctor visits. The doctor in me hated this so much, and don't get me started about the cost.
    I couldn't be fully present for myself and the kids. My life became cyclic. I had to make the tough decision to take charge of my health, and life in general, otherwise it would control my entire life.
    But how was I to do that?
    I had to confront the limiting beliefs and thoughts, and the norm I had allowed to dictate my life, family, and career. I had to shift focus to what I needed...To operate with a full cup to pour into my days and my people. I had to be my number 1...Not a by-the-way, because I couldn't pour empty.
    I became a radical proponent of self-care...Not the usual bubble bath, shopping spree, mani-pedi, etc...But daily practices that fill your cup inwardly, not externally.
    It took a behavioral change; I taught myself to be a morning person, embracing mental, spiritual, and physical fitness. It made me feel great that I could now do things I previously thought I couldn't do. I created new habits that were building me up at multiple levels.
    What will it take for you to take charge of your life?
    What do you need to do?I am offering a 6-week program that will be the start of the change you want to see. You will join a thriving, vibrant, community, that will keep you accountable as you make these all-important life changes.

    Episode 121: Unmasking: Healing the Mom in the Mirror Part 2

    Hey Thrive Tribe,
    Today's episode is a continuation of last episode. Dr. Dee provides the basis of healing her season of depression and introduces the concept of carrying a backpack of bricks to portray when we take on all the problems that exist around us (including our own).
    Dr. Dee breaks the down the healing process she has utilized into 3 components:

    spiritual (devotional, prayer, meditation)

    physical (exercise, stretching, moving your body)

    emotional (journaling)

    Episode 119: Should You Be Grateful and Settle?

    Episode 119: Should You Be Grateful and Settle?

    Show notes - May 19th

    What does it mean to be grateful for what we have? Does gratitude only find expression when we suspend everything else and focus on the gift of children and/or family?

    I have come to believe and live the reality that I can have both and operate in full gratitude and full pursuit of becoming the best version of myself, especially professionally. Many of us live in the 'box' that if we are one thing, we cannot be another. Yet, we are equipped to become the very best that God created us to be.

    You are free to enjoy your profession of choice and seek to attain the highest level of excellence in your line. Imagine what a disservice it is to your children if you live a life that's way below your capacity.

    Feel free to share your thoughts. Let's engage.

    Episode 118: Mama, to Dream you Need Sleep with Natalie Diaz and Kim West

    Episode 118: Mama, to Dream you Need Sleep with Natalie Diaz and Kim West

    Show notes - New book podcast

    What do Twins, Sleep, and a professional Twin Mom have in common? 😅🎉

    Mamas, this week's episode is the ultimate treat. I get to host two incredible moms who collaborated to write ''The New Born Twins Sleep Guide.' Finally feels like we're not a by-the-way in all those parenting books and blogs. These women have outdone themselves, and they share their experiences, and how they have overcome the challenges to raise kids and thrive in their professional careers?

    Sleep deprivation is, no doubt, one of the reasons for our overwhelm. While every mom's dream is to have their child sleep through the night, we also need to manage our expectations on how twins/children of every age sleep achieve this. Understanding that will help you and your family navigate the journey of getting your twinnies to sleep, while keeping you sane through the process.

    Sleep training twins does not have a one-size-fits-all and this book contains unique and tailor-made guides for you and your duals. Amazingly, you'll find an exciting chapter on self-care in there, which could not have been better placed, me thinks.

    Join Kim, Natalie Diaz of Twiniversity, and myself as we talk about all things twins, sleep, and our professions in the latest episode. Please give us a 5-star review and share with a friend. 😊

    Enjoy!

    Episode 117: Mama, It's Time to Color OUTSIDE the Lines

    Episode 117: Mama, It's Time to Color OUTSIDE the Lines

    There are so many rules to follow, but coloring in the lines does not have to be one of them.

    Mamas, we spend so much time trying to make our lives or ourselves "fit in" the lines someone else has drawn. Well, this episode Dr. Dee encourages you to stop.
    Staying in the lines prevents you from achieving your full potential, being your authentic self, and most importantly prevents you from accomplishing the dreams/dream life you desire to create.

    This episode will provide you with the practical tips to color OUTSIDE the lines and feel good about it.

    And if you still need help getting started in that process:

PBS lover 2012 ,

Like listening to your best friend!

Dr. D speaks truth and wisdom! She is a spiritual practicing physician, wife and mom to twins who is honest and owns the daily struggle, but sees the kindness around her and has an underlying positive message without telling women to be a supermom. I listen to her while getting things done around the house. I am a mom, physician, wife, and I need to hear a girlfriend and colleague tell me to get over my need to keep up a facade of being able to handle everything. Thank you for being so real about things, thank you for your advice. I appreciate you!! - Dr. K.
