73. Hey Hubby: What Your Wife Wishes You Understood...

Stethoscopes and Strollers ·

2025/06/25

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...

72. Let Him Be Great: Releasing Control in Your Home

Stethoscopes and Strollers ·

2025/06/18

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 ep...

To My Husband: Thank You for Doing the Work With Me

Stethoscopes and Strollers ·

2025/06/15

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 gr...

Hey doc, In this episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I’m revisiting a live I did called: "The partner you thought you had😩 How gender roles turned your progressive hubby into a 1950s a-hole" Because let’s be honest: even the most modern, educated, emotionally intelligent men can slide into outdated gender roles once kids come into the picture. You’re a physician. A mother. A leader. So why do you feel like you’re living a version of your mother’s or grandmother’s life, except now,

Hey Doc , This month, I’m doing something a little different. Every episode of Stethoscopes and Strollers in June is for the dads. Not because they deserve a standing ovation. But because they’re part of the story. Your story. And I know, this might bring up some feelings. Especially if you’ve been carrying more than your share of the load. Especially if it feels like you’ve had to do the emotional labor for everyone, including the person you thought would be your partner. In this episode, I’...

Hey Doc— Let’s talk about what it really costs to perform strength. Dr. Tolulope Olabintan is a family medicine physician, a private practice owner, and a woman of deep faith. She’s also someone who—like so many of us—was raised to be “the strong one.” The Proverbs 31 woman. The helper. The one who keeps going, no matter what. Because “strong women” don’t sit still. They endure. Power through. Serve. But what happens when that identity clashes with your actual humanity? In this conversation, ...

Hey Doc — Mother’s Day is coming up. And whether you're excited, dreading it, or just… indifferent, I want you to hear this clearly: You deserve what you want for Mother’s Day. If you want brunch and balloons — I hope you get them. If you want a quiet day to yourself with no one touching you, asking you for anything, or expecting you to perform joy — I hope you get that too. Let this episode be your reminder that: ✔ You don’t need to celebrate Mother’s Day the way others think you shoul...

Stethoscopes and Strollers ·

2025/04/30

Hey Doc — So… are you a Meghan or a Mindy? This episode was inspired by With Love, Meghan on Netflix — and one very honest moment between Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and her guest, Mindy Kaling. Meghan? Fully in her element: cooking, entertaining, feeding people with joy. Mindy? Fully supportive — and also like, “Yeah, I pay someone for that.” Both women were showing up with clarity. And that got me thinking: Why do so many Physician moms feel like they have to pick a side — and the...

Hey Doc — When was the last time someone gave you permission to just want what you want? To go after comfort, joy, ease, or pleasure — without guilt, without justification?

Hey Doc — Let me ask you something: Who raised you? For me, it was Selwyn and Lucille Luces — two hardworking people from Trinidad and Tobago who gave me and my sisters a childhood full of love, structure, and support. They had help. They worked full-time. And still, they absolutely raised us. This week on ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I’m unpacking the guilt we’ve been taught to carry as working moms — especially as Physician moms — when we seek the support we need.
