Doctors often struggle to separate professional advice from family love

Board-certified pediatrician, certified coach, and mindfulness and yoga teacher Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Pediatrician vs. grandmother: Choosing love over medical advice." Jessie explores the internal conflict she faced between her medical training and her role as a grandmother when her twin granddaughters were born at home. She examines how the physician's impulse to offer risk assessments and warnings can often feel like rejection to loved ones who simply want support. The conversation highlights the transformative power of asking "What would love do?" to navigate complex family dynamics without alienating those we care about most. Jessie shares insights on how to replace the need for control with the gift of presence and trust. Learn how to let go of the need to be right to preserve the relationships that matter most.
