Dr. Recovery Mom ™

Life is hard.
AND
YOU can do HARD things on HARD days!!!

Failure is rarely fatal or final. Failure might not even be failure if you redefine terms. What you are calling “failure “ is likely a goal not YET accomplished. Keep Going! When things FEEL messy and uncomfortable, remember: 1. You are likely in the messy middle. It won’t always feel this way. 2. Progress is clearly visible to a trained eye and 1% better is better even if it sometimes does not FEEL that way. FEELINGS are NOT FACTS! 3. Progress is not linear!

"The only certainty that I have figured out is that nothing will ever go as well or as bad as I imagine. The mind can produce helpful and unhelpful thoughts. You get to choose which thought to act on. Words are so powerful! You are so powerful! "

About Dr. Recovery Mom™

I am a privileged human being who has had the opportunity to experience many of the best and worst life has to offer. I am a doctor and a patient. A student and a teacher. And am working on recovering from the subliminal message from society that I need to do more and eat less to be enough. I am enough because I am human. (Shhh… so are you…)

I am a student of life who learned how to dance and laugh in the rain or the sunshine.

I have been through all of the steps and boards …(Pun intended) to become a radiologist and that path was not straight and was very difficult with many unexpected turns and twists. I am a mom and am parenting my kids in a way different than I was raised, in a world different than I was raised in, and I am learning from other moms who are also experimenting with choosing a growth mindset than a fixed mindset in a world where resilience is key.

Words are so powerful. Changing your word choice can change your life. I know. I ran this experiment many, many times with hundreds of people. I am just a human being on this life journey with you. I might just have done a little more research in areas you might be curious to explore…..

Are you curious?

Make a Choice.

There are just choices. I am not the right fit for everyone. I will gently challenge you. And ask questions? Like….What is your choice?

I am curious…

Power of Words

session · 60 minutes

One full hour, dedicated entirely to you. Whether a new or old challenge has popped up, let’s chat and see if I can help you shift into a more helpful frame of mind. I have faced many challenges. Ask me about how I chose to face them at the time, what I learned from my “mistakes” (judgement) and what I did to keep going anyway and try my best to be “the best” (judgement…again… beware! ) version I can be at the time.

Liability Waiver: I understand that this coaching service is provided by a life coach who is not a licensed doctor, therapist, psychologist, or crisis interventionist. Coaching is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, medical advice, or crisis support.

All conversations are just that: conversations, an exchange of ideas and information gathered on our journey so far. I will not be practicing medicine, or therapeutic practice or crisis/addiction work. This is life coaching only. It is me telling you how I choose to see the world and everything in it.
