Welcome to "Healthy, Wealthy, & Loved - Winning Life Skills for Busy Doctor Moms." I'm your host, Dr. Tanzy Kulman, and I’m so excited to be here with you today! I’m a busy doctor mom just like you, and I'm thrilled to have you join me on this journey of balancing health, wealth, and love while juggling the demands of a medical career and motherhood. Here at Healthy, Wealthy, and Loved, In each episode, we'll explore practical strategies, insights, and stories that will help you thrive as a busy doctor mom.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into the fundamental pillar of success: mindset. As busy doctor moms, we face unique challenges. We have demanding careers that require our expertise and dedication, and we also have the incredible responsibility of caring for our families. It's a delicate balancing act that can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of how to navigate it all.

But here's the secret: Success starts with the right mindset. It's the foundation upon which we can build a life that aligns with our goals and values. Our mindset shapes how we approach challenges, how we perceive our abilities, and ultimately, how we define success for ourselves.

Think about it, when we were in medical school, we had the whole world ahead of us. We knew that if we worked hard enough and followed the blueprint, there is a light waiting for us. We knew at the end of all our hard work we would be rewarded with becoming doctors. We already accomplished the hardest thing we were ever going to do in our lives. And we got through it because of our mindset.

Now that we have reached that rewarded path, now that we have accomplished our biggest goals; something most people couldn’t even imagine trying, why are we struggling? Wait a minute, isn’t this supposed to be the easy part? Now that we have finished school, finished training, we are serving our patients, isn’t the rest of it supposed to get easier?

So, what does success mean for busy doctor moms? It's essential to understand that success is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It's not just about climbing the career ladder or achieving certain milestones. Although those things may be important to some of you. I’m here to tell you it is ok to be you and desire and have goals and ambitions for yourself, while caring for you family. It may not be easy. It may not always feel good. But prioritizing yourself, your time, and your wellbeing is important. I’m here to guide you through a harmonious blend of health, wealth, and love that resonates with you while honor your true self, so that you can lead life mindfully.

As doctor moms, we are constantly prioritizing the well-being of others—our patients, our families, and our colleagues—sometimes at the expense of our own well-being. But true success involves taking care of ourselves. It's about finding a balance. A balance that allows us to excel professionally while nurturing our own physical and mental health, as well as fostering fulfilling relationships with our loved ones.

Developing the right mindset is crucial in this journey. It means cultivating self-belief, resilience, and a growth mindset that allows us to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. I am here to help you grow each step of the way. It means shifting our focus from perfectionism to progress and celebrating small victories along the way.
