29. Default parent, job negotiation, camping with babies, and finding a part-time job that allows you to go "off grid" with Dr. Molly Brett

Moms of Medicine

"We both knew that one of us would need to be able to still be a default parent and I actually wanted that role, which I'm sure we'll talk about it's also very hard to be a default parent and a doctor, but that was sort of the thing I didn't want to give up when I went into medicine."
This episode is with Dr. Molly Brett, a primary care physician in Colorado.
We talk about:
- Deciding early on that she wanted to be a primary care doctor for multiple reasons
- Being in a dual physician family
- Being the default parent and wanting this role
- Camping with babies
- Negotiating a part-time job that allows her to be truly part time so that she can go off grid and go camping with her family
- The guilt around hiring a nanny to help her family in the mornings
- How she chooses which projects to say yes to and which ones to say no to
- Choosing the daycare that works for your lives (i.e. long hours) and not the most "fancy" childcare
- How to advise women to choose a specialty/career that works for them
