I’m a Physician and a Mom

Have you ever felt like you were spinning a dozen plates in the air, trying to keep everything from crashing down?

Life is not a straight path to success. It is a winding road with lots of unexpected detours, potholes, and maybe even a flat tire or two. But here's the kicker: sometimes, the biggest obstacles in our way are not the ones we stumble upon out there in the world. They are the ones we set up ourselves...
