2025/05/07

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.

65. No Judgment, Just Joy: Be the Mom You Want to Be

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...

2025/04/16

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. I share: 🔸 Why this...
