Hey doc! I'm excited to bring you this inspiring conversation with Dr. Jade Norris on ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨! Dr. Jade is a family medicine and obesity Physician who opened her direct primary care practice straight out of residency while raising two young children.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Her "meet cute" story with her husband (it involves a grocery store and went viral!)
- Having her first child during intern year in the pandemic
- Her challenging breastfeeding journey and how she found peace with it
- Opening a direct primary care practice straight from residency
- How she designed her practice around her dream life, not the other way around
Key takeaways:
- Think "how" not "if" when it comes to your dreams
- Build your career around your dream life, not vice versa
- Start with low overhead when building a practice
- Involve your partner early in your vision
- You can pursue entrepreneurship even during early motherhood
