Welcome back to *Stethoscopes and Strollers*! In this episode, I discuss the importance of taking the win when it’s presented to you. Often, we can overthink our partner’s responses and miss out on the positive moments. Let’s dive into why embracing a yes, even if it’s not enthusiastic, can make a huge difference in our relationships and mental health.

Episode Highlights:

- Setting the Stage: Picture this: you ask your husband to join a playdate with your son. He hesitates, asks a few questions, makes a face, but then says yes. What’s your reaction?

- Overthinking Yes: Are you like me, questioning his reluctance, wondering if he really wants to go, or feeling hurt by his lack of enthusiasm?

- The Impact of Expectations: Wanting our partners to respond exactly how we envision can be unfair and lead to unnecessary tension.

- Choosing the Win: Sometimes, it’s better to take the yes and move on rather than pushing for the perfect response.

Key Messages:

- Understand and Accept: It’s important to recognize that people express themselves differently. Just because the yes isn’t enthusiastic doesn’t mean it’s not genuine.

- Avoid Unnecessary Conflict: Pressing for a specific type of yes can create more conflict and diminish the positive aspects of the agreement.

- Focus on the Positive: Embrace the yes you received and focus on the shared experience rather than the manner in which it was given.

Encouragement for Listeners:

Think about the times you’ve overanalyzed a simple yes. Could accepting it at face value have led to a better outcome? Choosing to accept and appreciate the yes can lead to more harmonious and fulfilling interactions.

Text me to ask a question, leave a comment or just say hello! Hey doc, Today I'm sharing a deeply personal story about my journey discovering the transformative power of finding the right community. I open up about my experience in two very different coaching programs and what they taught me about trusting my intuition. I'll walk you through: Why community often matters more than the actual coaching How being in the right group setting creates growth through osmosis The importance of psychological safety when building deep connections What happens when you trust vs ignore your inner knowing The value of seeing others both ahead of and behind you on similar journeys This episode goes far beyond just announcing my new group coaching program (though yes, The Connected Motherhood Experience is officially launching!). It's about the profound impact of finding spaces where you can show up fully as yourself - where you're truly seen, validated and pushed to grow. I share the hard lessons I learned about trusting myself and choosing carefully where I invest my energy and vulnerability. Most importantly, I discuss why having people around you who genuinely understand your experience as a Physician mom is invaluable for your growth. If you've ever felt unsure about which communities are right for you, or questioned whether you should trust your gut about a space not feeling quite right, this episode is for you. The Connected Motherhood Experience is more than just another coaching program - it's a sanctuary where Black Physician moms can find true sisterhood, cultivate lasting peace, and create the lives they deserve.

Text me to ask a question, leave a comment or just say hello! Hey doc! In this special Christmas episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I share how my unexpected red hair taught me a valuable lesson about letting go of perfect - a message especially relevant during the holiday season. We explore: Making peace with imperfect solutions Choosing convenience over expectations Finding joy in unexpected outcomes Prioritizing peace during busy times Key takeaways: Perfect plans often lead to unnecessary stress Sometimes the "wrong" choice brings more peace Small compromises create space for joy Self-preservation matters more than perfection Doc, this holiday season, remember that perfect isn't always better than peaceful.
