Hey friends. If you’re a working mom feeling stretched too thin, drowning in demands, and simmering with that all-too-familiar mom rage… this episode is for you.
Today, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Whitney Casares — a Stanford-trained pediatrician, speaker, mom of two, and founder of Modern Mommy Doc and the Modern Mamas Club app. She’s also the host of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast and a powerful voice when it comes to helping moms stop doing it all and start doing what actually matters.
We're talking about...
- Why so many women feel pressure to give 100% to everything they do — and how that belief is burning us out.
- Why it's important to triage what matters most in the season you’re in.
- What emotion coaching looks like and why mindful self-compassion is essential.
- The importance of giving yourself grace in the seasons you wish would move faster.
- The value of outsourcing and delegating, and why half-assing on purpose is important.
- How to create a more centered life.
- How to navigate resentment when it comes up and why honest communication with your partner matters.
...and so much more.
If this episode resonates with you, please take a second to share it with another mom who might need to hear it too. We’re not meant to do this alone — and sometimes, one honest conversation can make all the difference.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
