Being a great mom can be challenging. Being a great mom while practicing dentistry can be downright overwhelming. How can a dentist who is also a mother manage success in both? In this podcast we interview Dr. Grace Yum, founder of the Mommy Dentist in Business (MDIB) community, a rapidly growing group of moms in dentistry addressing the unique challenges they face. We cover what does “work-life balance” mean for them, where and how are boundaries created between dentistry and family, and we share our thoughts on avoiding “mommy guilt,” the feeling of underperforming as a dentist and mother. If you’re a mom (or aspiring mom) practicing dentistry, we hope you’ll find this podcast to be insightful to your situation and life goals. Photo by MDIBS
