"You end up finding yourself in this bubble of work, and childcare and survival mode, and I think a lot of us tend to feel alone when our focus is so narrow and our focus is on the work and on our child and it can feel very isolating, and it can feel like we're the only one going through the situation, not recognizing that it is so common and all new moms feel this way."
Today's conversation is with Dr. Lika Targan, a primary care physician and medical educator at BIDMC.
We talk about:
- Balancing work and home life
- Going through a divorce
- Being a single mom
- Egg freezing - logistics and the emotional and physical toll
- Being forgiving of yourself when you can't give 110%
