If you're a doctor mom who has spent any time in survival mode,
You may have had thoughts like:
- Am I messing up my kid(s)?
- I wish I could shake this guilt.
- I should be able to handle this.
- If I slow down, it will all fall apart.
- I don't even know who I am anymore.
- Why do I feel like I'm constantly drowning?
- This isn't what I thought my life would feel like.
If any of that resonates, you are not alone.
But those thoughts don't define you or your life.
There is another way.
Hi, I'm
Lindsey
I'm a doctor, a wife, and a mom. Among other things.
I became both a mom and an attending anesthesiologist at the same time. As you might imagine, I became overwhelmed - quickly.
In those early days of being a new physician mom, I was preconditioned to be everything for everyone. To excel in every role. To not let anyone down. To never show weakness. To not be too much. Or too little.
The weight of both internal and external expectations became so heavy that I got completely buried beneath medicine and motherhood. There was no more Lindsey. Only the roles she played.
Somehow, one day I realized:
No matter what kind of life I choose to live, I am simultaneously modeling for my daughter how to live hers.
That realization shook me.
Determined to be the kind of woman my daughter deserves to have as her role model, I began the hard, but life-changing work of self-exploration and growth.
I didn't know where I was going, but with each step, I could feel I was getting closer. When I learned about the concept of emotional intelligence, everything came into focus.
The scientifically-backed benefits of emotional intelligence (EI) training just made sense in my brain. Growing my EI felt doable. And most importantly, it gave me a framework for creating real, sustainable change in my life.
I grew my emotional intelligence and my life grew into something worth being present for.
And I want the same for you.
I refuse to accept that we should spend our lives sacrificing ourselves only to feel like a shell of what we could be.
So, once I felt the space to be able to do so, I willingly decided to take on one more role - an emotional intelligence coach for physician moms who are ready to stop surviving and start living.
