It’s still (barely) January of 2018 and I’m doing my best to try to new things, take breaks from old things, be more strategic, practice tiny habits, and spend time with my sweet boys and family. I’ve even committed to a weekly early morning swim with a dear friend to just ritualize something beautiful for the year.
(added 2/1/18: Check out this palliative care physician’s twitter status update [read the whole thread — amazing] for any reminder for why we should just be with our babies when we can and why we should tell more stories, read more books, and perhaps, eat more ice cream!)
Many of you are familiar with my Seattle Mama Doc podcast which typically features parenting advice and pediatric experts sharing ideas for particular health topics. But I’m often asked about all the different hats I wear: mom, doctor, Chief of Digital Innovation at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Chief Medical Officer at Before Brands, reporter at KING5 News and more. So, this is my first attempt at detailing what I’m working on each month — the juggle — why I’m doing it and how it all feels. It was an idea inspired by my dear friend, Susannah Fox who updates her work list publicly, on her blog monthly. I recorded an ad lib take on the podcast (embedded below).
Tell me what you think, share ideas, offer advice or partner with our digital health team if you can!
Power on, People. Thank goodness, here comes February!! Maybe some sunnier days? Think weather and think metaphor, too.
