Find the full transcript and bonus resources for physician moms at inspiredmommds.com/73.I sat down to record this today… and honestly, I didn’t want to. Not because I don’t care, but maybe because I care too much. The truth is some days it feels like I’m pouring that care into a void. My kid’s heading off to college soon, and there’s a sadness hanging in the air that I can’t quite shake. I’ve built something I believe in, but lately, it feels like I’m talking to no one. And the truth is, I almost didn’t hit record today because admitting these thoughts feels like admitting failure. I keep asking myself, is it still worth it?  But I am learning that maybe this is what showing up really looks like. Not when it’s easy. But when it’s real.So, if you’re here, and listening, you’re not alone. And neither am I. When you feel the ache of building something that matters, but not sure anyone’s listening, that’s exactly when it matters most. Text me your thoughts on the episode!Loved this one?
