58. From Residency to DPC: Dr. Jade Norris on Entrepreneurship, Motherhood, and Creating Your Dream Life

Hey doc! I'm excited to bring you this inspiring conversation with Dr. Jade Norris on ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨! Dr. Jade is a family medicine and obesity Physician who opened her direct primary care practice straight out of residency while raising two young children.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Her "meet cute" story with her husband (it involves a grocery store and went viral!)
• Having her first child during intern year in the pandemic
• Her challenging breastfeeding journey and how she found peace with it
• Opening a direct primary care practice straight from residency
• How she designed her practice around her dream life, not the other way around

Key takeaways:

• Think "how" not "if" when it comes to your dreams
• Build your career around your dream life, not vice versa
• Start with low overhead when building a practice
• Involve your partner early in your vision
• You can pursue entrepreneurship even during early motherhood

This conversation is filled with gems for any Physician mom considering a different path in medicine. Get ready to be inspired!
