In this episode, a rambling 52 minutes, I chat with new friend Dr. Rebecca Tapia, physician, Mom and caregiver for her 89 year old grandmother. She has stood at the intersection of life-altering events and family dynamics for nearly 15 years as a PM&R physician, and now shares her combined personal and professional experiences to help others manage their mindset about supporting aging parents.

The issue of caring for aging relatives or others with limited mobility or cognitive issues is something many of us  will wrestle with and the two of us swap personal recollections of family challenges through our lives.  It was a lot of fun to record, and, on my part , cause for some soul-searching.  I hope you find food for thought.

In my opinion this subject should be a mandatory class in medical school. No doctor is exempt from the possibility of illness or injury and all but the very wealthy need to make sure they can protect their income.

The subject is close to my heart because at I was disabled at 48 and, although it took 10 months was able to keep my house and educate my sons because I had insurance.  This episode's gues ,Dr . Stephanie Pearson, describes her personal experience, following a work injury, with disability insurance .  After fighting for her own rights she now has a  new career as an insurance broker helping to make the complicated business of insurance more plain.

Listen closely, you may not be as well protected as you think.

PearsonRavitz was founded by Dr. Stephanie Pearson and Scott Ravitz in 2017 with the mission to simplify and untangle the complex world of insurance, empowering you to make informed choices —they are your insurance advocate!

In this episode I catch up with Linda Saether who shares her unique journey with me- from practicing medicine to becoming a successful writer.

We first met at Medical School and last saw each other when Linda graduated from Pediatrics and went off to VA to practice medicine and grow her family.  Over the years I heard she had moved back to FL and changed to Urgent Care but it was only in this interview that I heard the whole story.  Illness  forced her retirement from clinical medicine yet provided her with the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of writing. 

Her historical fiction novels, which feature fictitious characters, in real events,  are a testament to her creativity and talent. 

Linda also opens up about the challenges of being a new and unknown writer. She discusses the difficulties of self-promotion and the lack of support from small publishing companies. However, commitment to improving her craft led her to take classes on novel and screenwriting, which helped her to learn about structure and format. Despite the challenges she persevered and has become an accomplished author and encourages aspiring writers to take classes and workshops to improve their skills. She also advises them to read as much as possible and to write every day, even if it's just for a few minutes.

Overall, Linda's story is an inspiration to anyone who dreams of pursuing their passion, no matter  the obstacles.

Taking a short break from MMM, episodes will resume soon. This is a new venture with my colleague Martin Furber, a hypnotherapist in Preston UK and I thought you might like to listen. Bonus track does not include transcript, or CME/CPD from this podcast, Series 1 will start Sept 18th 2022

My guest for this episode is Melissa Welker, MD MPH: a full-time anesthesiologist, mother of two boys, an entrepreneur, a cyclist, and a sustainability enthusiast. After paying off $360,000 of medical school debt in 2018 and starting a family, she felt the need to rebalance her life.   This is, of course, an ongoing task, but while she continues to explore ways to incorporate less traditional paths into her  clinical journey she helps other physicians find financial freedom, recreate their own professional journey, and find ways to thrive as physicians and beyond.  

In 2022 Dr. Welker  started A Physician Home LLC to help physicians find positions that truly fit their goals clinically and personally with the goal of helping them create lives that straddle the messy tension between personal and professional goals.    She can be reached through her website www.cordeliascrossing.com
