Stethoscopes and Strollers

125. The One-Minute Reset I Use During the Worst Days


Listen Later

Hey Doc,

This episode is a little different.

First, a content warning. I talk about miscarriage and describe one of the most difficult calls I've had as an OB/GYN, so if that's not something you want to hear today, I completely understand.

I also share one of my favorite tools for getting through stressful moments. It's a technique I've used for years with anxious patients during pelvic exams and on labor and delivery, but it wasn't until that call that I realized how much I needed it myself.

If you're skeptical of anything remotely "woo-woo," this episode isn’t for you 😂

I hope you give it a try the next time life, medicine, or motherhood feels like a little too much.

In this episode I discuss:

  • Why the goal isn't always to eliminate stress
  • The difficult call that reminded me to use my own tools
  • A simple visualization I use during overwhelming moments
  • How this technique can help both inside and outside the hospital

🎧 I hope you enjoy the episode.

What did you think of the episode, doc? Let me know!
