Stethoscopes and Strollers
Welcome to Stethoscopes & Strollers! I'm Dr. Toya, mom of two, OBGYN, and coach for physician moms. Here, we go beyond the hospital halls, into the messy, magical early years of parenting—think diapers, sleepless nights, and figuring out how to deal with all those unexpected twists and turns.
Every episode, I dive into topics like mental health, the ins and outs of postpartum sex, sorting out childcare, and how having little ones changes your marriage. We’ll talk about getting back to work after baby, the real deal with mom guilt thanks to those tough doctor schedules, what pumping at work is really like, and how to keep all the balls in the air without dropping any. We’re here to get real about the hard choices, like deciding to stop breastfeeding, and so much more. This is a space for focusing on taking care of you, because managing scrubs and swaddles takes a village.
You'll figure out how to ask for and actually accept help, because let’s be honest, getting support is crucial for thriving as both a mom and a doctor.
Just a quick heads-up: while we're all about sharing and supporting, remember this isn’t medical advice. We’re here to connect, share experiences, and grow—together, without the medical jargon.
So, grab your coffee or tea, and get ready to dive into those parts of being a physician mom that don't get talked about enough. You're not riding this roller coaster alone, and you definitely deserve all the support you can get.
Tune in to Stethoscopes & Strollers for some real, honest insights and practical tips to make momming a bit easier. It’s time to get the conversation started!

100. Celebrating 100 Episodes of Stethoscopes and Strollers: Welcome to 2026!
Hey Doc
We made it. A brand new year and the 100th episode of Stethoscopes and Strollers.
This isn’t just a milestone. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and remember why this podcast, and this work, exists in the first place.
Yes, it started with postpartum burnout.
Yes, it evolved through early motherhood, transitions, and work stress.
But at the center of it all? Empowering women physicians to stop giving their power away — at home, at work, and everywhere in between.
In this episode, I reflect on how my mission has deepened and where we’re headed in 2026. We talk about:
- Why empowerment has always been the point
- The real impact of conditioning in medicine and motherhood
- What it means to be powerful on your terms
- And what’s next for this community beyond just physician moms
🎧 Tune in for a powerful start to 2026, and a reminder that you don’t need to become anyone else to take your power back.
