29. Default parent, job negotiation, camping with babies, and finding a part-time job that allows you to go "off grid" with Dr. Molly Brett
Description
"We both knew that one of us would need to be able to still be a default parent and I actually wanted that role, which I'm sure we'll talk about it's also very hard to be a default parent and a doctor, but that was sort of the thing I didn't want to give up when I went into medicine."
This episode is with Dr. Molly Brett, a primary care physician in Colorado.
We talk about:
- Deciding early on that she wanted to be a primary care doctor for multiple reasons
- Being in a dual physician family
- Being the default parent and wanting this role
- Camping with babies
- Negotiating a part-time job that allows her to be truly part time so that she can go off grid and go camping with her family
- The guilt around hiring a nanny to help her family in the mornings
- How she chooses which projects to say yes to and which ones to say no to
- Choosing the daycare that works for your lives (i.e. long hours) and not the most "fancy" childcare
- How to advise women to choose a specialty/career that works for them
