The Epidemic of Busy 01/27/2026

The Epidemic of Busy “Busy” has become our default identity—but at what cost? In this episode of Medicine, Motherhood & Magic, Lauren explores why busyness is so deeply tied to worth, especially for physician moms, and how chronic overdoing quietly erodes our health, relationships, and sense of presence. She unpacks the cultural conditioning behind hustle, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, and why slowing down can feel terrifying—but necessary. This conversation is an invitation to question the busy badge, strengthen boundaries, clarify priorities, and reimagine rest as a radical act of self-trust. If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in the cycle of always doing more, this episode offers perspective, honesty, and a path toward something steadier. Listen if you’re ready to stop surviving on busy and start choosing what actually matters. /episode/index/show/81b17452-6fa2-4c29-ae4f-2d5621b0988b/id/39891815

Motherhood is Magic 12/23/2025

Motherhood is Magic In this episode of Medicine, Motherhood & Magic, Dr. Lauren Trimeloni explores the quiet, complicated, and deeply human reasons women become mothers—and the many paths that lead us there. From pregnancy and adoption to foster care, step-parenthood, and unexpected beginnings, motherhood is not a single moment or definition. It’s an identity that forms and reforms over time. Lauren reflects on the transformation that happens when a woman becomes a mother—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. She challenges the inherited narrative that motherhood must equal exhaustion, self-sacrifice, and disappearance, and invites listeners to consider a different framework: one rooted in presence, permission, and choice. /episode/index/show/81b17452-6fa2-4c29-ae4f-2d5621b0988b/id/39491900

Medicine is Magic 12/16/2025

Medicine is Magic Why did you choose medicine in the first place? In this episode of Medicine, Motherhood & Magic, we slow down long enough to remember. Through personal stories rooted in family medicine, emergency care, and neonatal ICU work, we reflect on the moments that first pulled us toward this profession—and how easily that sense of calling can get buried under charting, coding, committees, and the constant mental load of modern medicine. This episode is a reminder that what you do every day is not ordinary. You bring life into the world. You sit with grief, trauma, addiction, anxiety, and hope. You walk patients through their most vulnerable moments—and then go home to care for your own families, often carrying the weight of both worlds at once. If you’ve been feeling burned out, disconnected, or quietly wondering if you’re doing enough, this conversation is for you. It’s about honoring the magic of medicine, the reality of motherhood, and the compassion we so often forget to extend to ourselves. /episode/index/show/81b17452-6fa2-4c29-ae4f-2d5621b0988b/id/39405260

If you’ve ever achieved everything you set out to do and still felt like you were falling short, this conversation will feel like coming home. /episode/index/show/81b17452-6fa2-4c29-ae4f-2d5621b0988b/id/39323665
