Hey Hubby,

Yep, I said it. This one’s for you. I know most of my episodes are directed toward Physician moms, but this time I’m talking directly to the husbands.

Not to criticize. Not to complain. But to invite you into a deeper understanding of what your wife is going through right now.

Because when you became a dad, everything changed. Not just for your wife, but for you too. And in this season, when the babies are young and the days are long, it’s so easy to feel disconnected, confused, or unsure of how to really show up for her.

So I’m sharing what I wish my own husband had known in those early years… and what your wife probably wishes you knew too.

This episode is not about blame. It’s about connection.

Here’s what I talk about in this episode:

• Why the version of motherhood you think you know might be outdated (and why that matters)
  
  
  
• The invisible pressure your wife is under (and what you’re not seeing)
  
  
  
• How your childhood is shaping your marriage and what to do about it
  
  
  
• Why your wife’s body isn’t “back to normal” and what she needs from you around intimacy
  
  
  
• Real ways to show up and lighten her mental load without being asked

This is a mindset shift, not a to-do list. And if you let it, this episode might just change everything.

Hey doc,

This one might sting, but it’s worth staying for.

In this episode I am calling out (with love) the high-achieving physician moms who don’t realize the pattern that you’re part of: weaponized perfectionism. Not because you’re mean or controlling. But because you’re capable. Efficient. An intelligent, successful physician mom who knows how to get things done.

But when those same traits spill into your marriage, they can unintentionally block the very support you’re craving.

In this episode, let’s talk about:

• The ways some of us unintentionally sabotage shared responsibility
• How the word “let” reveals power dynamics we don’t always see
• The difference between “letting” him help vs trusting him to lead
• The hidden consequences for your kids (and your future marriage)
• And one big question I want you to think about: Are you weaponizing perfection against yourself?

You didn’t ask to carry it all, but you also didn’t stop yourself from picking it up.

Let him rise.

Hey doc,

This one’s personal.
In honor of Father’s Day (even though we don’t “do” the holiday), I wanted to take a moment to honor the man who made this podcast possible, my husband, Adé.

Not because he edits the episodes or runs the backend (he doesn’t). But because of the stories I share here and the tools I teach, they come from real work, and a real partnership that wasn’t always this way.

This is my thank you to him.
For being willing.
For doing the work.
For loving me enough to grow with me.
And for letting his story be part of this movement to help physician moms build marriages that actually work.

In this special episode you’ll hear:

• Why none of this would be possible without him
• The personal rule I follow before ever sharing our story
• How his growth made room for mine
• And why healing together is the only kind I believe in
  
  

To Adé, thank you.

And to every partner doing the work quietly in the background, this one’s for you too.
