Paging Dr. Mom with Julie La Barba, MD, FAAP

Stop saying yes to things you really don’t want to do, to make time for the ones that really matter. AKA: How to say “No!” ARRIVAL FALLACY: Is this all there is? When will the tasks/to do list ever end? They won’t. ABSOLUTELY YES or NO! Figure out your priorities based on your values…your calendar should directly reflect this. What does it look like to be a good enough wife, mom, doctor, friend? How can we stop saying yes to what we think we SHOULD do based on others expectations and choose to prioritize what’s truly the most imp to us. Have to really look downstream to figure out...

Paging Dr. Mom with Julie La Barba, MD, FAAP

  by Dr. Martha Kenney, creator of Time Matters Today We are half-way through 2022, and, I have a quick question for you. Have you achieved your New Year’s resolutions? My guess is that most of you would say "no," because research shows that 80% of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by the beginning of February. Why? Because although New Year’s resolutions may be the closest that most people will get to planning their goals in life, resolutions are more an expression of desires rather than "true goals."  Vaguely stated goals that lack relevance to your values and are...

Tune in with Dr. Martha Kenney who knows how much your time matters. Time management isn’t just about productivity, not is it about doing MORE things. It's about freeing up your time and energy to do the RIGHT things. And “the right things” are those things that line up with your personal values. Martha references Alice in Wonderland: If you don’t know where you’re going then why should it matter which path you take? Any one will do if you don’t have a true “destination” in mind.

@thefamilydinnerproject (Harper Collins, 2015)  (Familius, 2019). WHY THE FAMILY DINNER PROJECT?  Research shows most think eating family dinner is a good idea, but fewer than 1/2 of American families do so. 70% of meals are eaten outside of the home and 20% in the car!    The Family Dinner Project is all about the not perfect but “good enough” meal to inspire families to get back to the diner table.    Bottom line: studies show regular family dinners reduce high-risk teenage behaviors such as: substance abuse, smoking, eating disorders, behavioral...

How is Covid affecting families, especially working moms in healthcare who can’t do their jobs remotely?

 

In this anxiety-filled time, there's so much we cannot control. What we can do is connect to ourselves and connect to each other.

 

Rather than more Covid data which is readily available, we want to provide a different conversation today, steeped in hope and real social strategies for both work and home in terms of navigating it all. 

 

Dr. Wooton focuses on the hope that we will get through this together, shares her own personal challenges, and highlights steps to make it through each long day, including personal experience in navigating everything from birthday parties to family reunions. 

 

  • Doctor moms with kids under 5 and how stressful Covid has been to not be able to work from home/ all the pivoting it has required
  • Strategies to stay sane and avoid burnout in the process: exercise, sleep, nutrition, asking for help
  • Future outlook: historical knowledge and confidence that by definition, pandemics end at some point.
  • Navigating invitations to gather with unvaccinated friends and family

 

As the Co-Chair of the Women Faculty Forum, she also shares helpful advocacy resources for moms in medicine.
