The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast

Wouldn’t it be great to find a podcast for the Modern Working Mom that addresses life as a mom, life as a working mom with an ambitious career and life as a mom who wants to also have time for her own life? That is what the Modern Mommy Doc podcast is all about.
We live in a world where we are supposed to raise kids as if we don’t work and work as if we don’t have kids (and don’t even mention that we may also want to fit in some time for ourselves to read a book or take a SoulCycle class.)
Everyone has an opinion on what it takes to be the perfect Working Mom in today’s society. Most of the advice is unattainable, anxiety-provoking and certainly doesn’t address how the modern working mom is supposed to make time for her own life. The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast helps working moms say “no” to unrealistic expectations for a perfectly-balanced life and say “yes” to what really matters. You’ll hear inspiring interviews with experts in each of the core areas modern working moms who parent with intention know are critical for success –dreaming big, spending time on things that matter, making space for themselves, investing in their mental and physical health, parenting in partnership, and being intentional about the way they parent their kids.
Your host is Whitney Casares, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.P. She’s a Stanford-trained, board-certified pediatrician, author, speaker, blogger @modernmommydoc, mom of two and avid Peloton-er. Drawing on her own experience as a working mom in the modern world, she’s curated a group of expert guests to help you find the credible advice you’re looking for when it comes to taking care of your child, your career and yourself.
We live in an era filled with so many questions around Working Mom Life and finding balance. On the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, you’ll find the focused answers you’ve been looking for to truly have it all.

Why You Need a Postpartum Doula (or Some Other No-Strings-Attached Kind of Help) After You Have a Baby Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

Early motherhood was not meant to be attempted alone, in our individual homes, with only the internet and a few books to lean on for guidance. Quite the opposite: early motherhood was meant to be accomplished as part of a village, and a super duper important part of that village is someone who can support you with getting your baby to sleep and feed. Some of my favorite people in that category are doulas and specialists. I love them because they offer expert advice, but also because they are no-strings-attached helpers: they care about your well-being and the well-being of your baby, but their advice is without judgement or obligation. This week, I interview Tiffany Decker, a Mommywise Certified Sleep Coach, and the founder of Birthing Stone Doula, Seattle Sleep Trainer, and Santa Barbara Sleep Trainer. She talks about what parents need to know when it comes to newborn sleep success and about what to expect when you hire a doula. While social distancing precautions are in place, it may not be possible to have a postpartum support person come into your home, but you can work directly with them virtually as well.

How to Raise an Organized Child with Dr. Damon Korb Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

This week on the podcast, we welcome Damon Korb, MD, FAAP. As a developmental and behavioral pediatrician and the father of 5, Dr. Korb knows a little something about raising kids who are confident, independent, and self-reliant. He joins us to talk about his book, Raising an Organized Child.It helpsparents develop their children's organized thinking skills and executive function. These skills are tied to developmental milestones, so whether a child is an infant or a teenager, it's never too late (or too early!) to foster organization in him or her and harmony in the whole family. It's an especially relevant topic now that we all find ourselves at home with our kids on the regular and want those homes (and our children) to be in order!
