Hey doc! In this episode, I'm chatting with Dr. Ritha Belizaire, a colorectal surgeon and mom of two. We dive deep into:
- Her journey from traditional motherhood expectations to reality as a Physician mom
- The challenges and triumphs of her au pair experience
- How she built a robust support system as a single parent

- Building a support system takes intentional effort but is worth it
- Your mental health has monetary value - prioritize it
