Sarah and Laura open up with a discussion of winter doldrums (or lack thereof), and strategies for getting through February, which can feel like a long month (even though it's not!). Then, Sarah interviews Marlise Pierre-Wright, a 3rd-year medical student at Northwestern University and mother to a 5-month-old. Marlise made the decision to start her family during medical school and wrote an excellent article about it to help others. We chat all about the knowledge she has shared, what she has learned, and what the experience has been like. In the Q&A, Laura and Sarah answer a set of questions from a professor due with her first baby this spring about maternity leave, summer childcare, and more.
