95. How to Outsource as a Physician Mom: Start Here
Stethoscopes and Strollers
Hey Doc —
How do you manage with young kids with household duties, work, marriage…life?
It’s the question I hear constantly — in coaching calls, Facebook posts, in casual conversations when someone’s hanging on by a thread. And if you have no nearby family and no reliable backup? The question starts to feel like a punchline.
Most advice boils down to: Just outsource more.
But if it were that simple, you would’ve done it already.
In this episode, I walk you through the real answer — the one I give my clients when they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning whether this version of life is sustainable. And no, it doesn’t start with a budget or a new chore chart. It starts with values. Identity. Permission.
You’ll learn:
- Why mindset work has to come before outsourcing
- How to audit your household labor (without sparking a fight)
- What “paid” and “unpaid” village building actually looks like
- And how to make space for the life you worked so hard to build
This isn’t about becoming more efficient.
It’s about building a system that supports the version of you that matters most.
🎧 Listen to the full episode — especially if you’ve been trying to survive with zero backup and a calendar that’s doing too much.
And because I love to make your life easier, here are the other episodes I reference in this one:
