Hey doc! In this episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I’m challenging the popular narrative of Physician moms as “household CEOs.” Because let’s be honest—most of us are actually functioning like overworked managers, not empowered leaders. And today, we’re going to break that all the way down.

I dive into:

  • Why most Physician moms are functioning as managers, not CEOs
  • What real CEOs like Jeff Bezos actually do with their time (hint: it’s not cooking meals or doing pickups)
  • The critical difference between true delegation and “wishful thinking” delegation
  • How operating like a true CEO creates space for what actually matters

Key takeaways:

  • CEOs delegate effectively and operate at the top of their license
  • True delegation includes training, feedback, and letting go
  • When you’re doing other people’s jobs, burnout follows
  • The highest use of your time is connecting with your family and excelling in your career—not managing details

This is a must-listen for any Physician mom who’s juggling clinical responsibilities, parenting, partnerships, and everything in between. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building a life that reflects your worth, this conversation is your permission slip.

It’s time for a promotion, doc. Let’s transform you from an overworked manager to the visionary CEO of your life.
