Dr. Sarah and Dr. Erin tackle the balancing act of family, surgery, and self care in this compelling episode from two surgeon moms.

We talk about how we balance work and family, the challenges of being a busy working mom, and how we schedule our time. We dive into if it's possible to have it all, redefining what success means, and setting boundaries. Erin confesses she's a self-care junky and Sarah is a big fan of memes to make it through the day.

Dr. Sarah and Dr. Erin discuss the mysterious role of Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons in healthcare. They joke about how their own moms don't know what they do until they realize that this probably actually isn't a joke.

The doctors have an important discussion on how misunderstandings of who oral surgeons are and what they can do can have implications on patient care. They discuss how they feel being called a "Dentist." And the problem with the disconnect from the mouth and the body in medical education and treatment.
