At the Crossroads Between Motherhood and Being a Resident Physician: Coaching Session #1 With Dr. Mary

In this episode of The Holistic Physician Coaching Podcast, Dr. Jessica Singh welcomes Dr. Mary to her first coaching session. Dr. Mary is a family medicine intern in the United States,  moving through a significant season of transition as she navigates first-time motherhood, maternity leave, and her upcoming return to the demands of residency training.

In this initial coaching session, Dr. Mary begins to explore the tension between her calling to medicine and her commitment to motherhood. She reflects on her values of family, service, faith, and presence while beginning to name the core question beneath her fears: How do I be both a mother and a physician at the same time?

Together, she and Dr. Singh explore the uncertainty, anxiety, and hope that can accompany major life transitions. This first coaching session offers a thoughtful glimpse into the coaching process and the way coaching can create space for reflection, self-trust, and greater clarity in the midst of change. A meaningful episode for physicians, those who coach physicians, and anyone who knows, loves, or supports a physician.
