In this episode of MomDoc Talk, Kristen, a pediatrician and mother of two, explores the impact of hustle culture on families. She discusses how constant busyness can harm well-being, and encourages parents to shift from productivity-focused routines to restorative rituals that foster presence, connection, and emotional safety. Kristen offers practical tips for building family rituals, practicing micro-restoration, and embracing imperfection. She emphasizes that slowing down and prioritizing emotional connection over compliance helps children thrive and creates a calmer, more loving home environment. Kristen reassures parents that rest is essential—not a luxury.
