Timing is everything. In a world that prescribes building your life around your work, I’m flipping the script. How do we build our work around our life?
I’ve worked full time before kids and also with kids. I’ve worked part time with kids and also have been a stay at home mom. I’ve built a freelance business and worked from home. There are so many ways to be a mom in healthcare, and the career dynamic that was originally a great fit may not always be the best fit. One size does not fit all, for your entire life.
As moms in healthcare, we often set out with very high goals. We are naturally high achievers, high capacity individuals, with high ideals. Sometimes, we forget that we can have permission to redefine what our goals are. As seasons change, we too can change.
Today, I’m sharing part of my story on negotiating changes in the workplace as my family has grown and evolved. I hope you’re encouraged and reminded that life is full of JOY even in the hardest seasons… sometimes we need to slow down and simplify our schedule to find it.
Dispensing Joy,
Dr. Peek
