72. Let Him Be Great: Releasing Control in Your Home


Listen Later

Hey doc,

This one might sting, but it’s worth staying for.

In this episode I am calling out (with love) the high-achieving physician moms who don’t realize the pattern that you’re part of: weaponized perfectionism. Not because you’re mean or controlling. But because you’re capable. Efficient. An intelligent, successful physician mom who knows how to get things done.

But when those same traits spill into your marriage, they can unintentionally block the very support you’re craving.


In this episode, let’s talk about:

  • The ways some of us unintentionally sabotage shared responsibility
  • How the word “let” reveals power dynamics we don’t always see
  • The difference between “letting” him help vs trusting him to lead
  • The hidden consequences for your kids (and your future marriage)
  • And one big question I want you to think about: Are you weaponizing perfection against yourself?


You didn’t ask to carry it all, but you also didn’t stop yourself from picking it up.  

Let him rise.

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