Season 2 Episode 13: Finding Joy in Motherhood and Career

The Successful Healthcare Working Mother Podcast

In the 13th episode of Season 2 of the Successful Healthcare Working Mother Podcast, I’m diving into a topic that many of us struggle with: Finding Joy in Motherhood and Career. As healthcare working moms, we often feel like we have to choose between the two—either we’re thriving in our careers but feeling guilty at home, or we’re prioritizing family and feeling like we’re falling behind at work. It’s exhausting, overwhelming, and it can leave you feeling stuck in a joyless cycle. This episode is about breaking that cycle and reclaiming your joy in both spaces.

This episode includes:

Main Points:
- Redefining Success—For YOU
- Build Joy Into Your Routine
- Balancing Your Energy, Not Your Time

Actionable Steps:
- Create a personal definition of success
- Ditch the perfectionism
- Set micro-goals
- Schedule “Joy Breaks”
- Be present
- Mindfulness in the everyday
- Know your energy peaks
- Energy recovery
- Set emotional boundaries

By focusing on these areas, you’ll be able to shift from survival mode to a more balanced, joyful experience in both your career and your home life. Because let’s face it—you deserve joy just as much as your patients and your family.
