from Inspired Mom MDs · host Cindy Van Praag, MD

Find the full transcript and bonus resources at inspiredmommds.com/80.I suddenly knew what drove me, right there on the treadmill. I busy myself with small wins, thinking they’ll move me forward, and quietly avoid the big wins, that honestly scared me a little. What woke me up is realizing what I lose when I don’t act. The weeks slip by, opportunities are wasted, and I feel potential sliding through my fingers. Walking in place that day, and getting nowhere physically, I did move closer to clarity – about  how to reach my dreams. For moms in medicine feeling stuck, this clicks. Are you spinning your wheels on busy work while the high-impact tasks that could move you forward sit unchecked in your planner? This episode explores why we avoid the tasks that matter most – and how reframing what we risk by not acting sparks real momentum. Text me your thoughts on the episode!Loved this one?
