Physician moms: when was the last time you heard that? On the latest Life Changing Moments, host Dr. Dael Waxman talks with Dr. Cindy Van Praag—anesthesiologist, health coach, and founder of Inspired Mom MDs—about the real challenges physician moms face and how small shifts can lead to big changes.

They explore:
➡️ How Cindy discovered coaching (by accident—and at exactly the right moment).
➡️ The internal drivers beneath the surface: self-criticism, guilt, fear, and feeling out of control.
➡️ Why so many physician moms say, "I don't recognize who I am anymore."
➡️ The power of small steps and neuroplasticity (the field of grass metaphor 🌾).
➡️ A tiny practice you can start TODAY: breath work to shift out of fight-or-flight.
➡️ The dichotomy of control: focus on what you can control, release the rest.
➡️ Cindy's powerful message: "You are enough. You have the power to make decisions that can improve your life."

If you've been carrying a quiet tension between medicine, family, and yourself—this conversation is your invitation to pause.

That's what burnout looked like for Dr. Carla Rotering. On the latest Life Changing Moments, she and host Dr. Dael Waxman go beyond the word "burnout" to explore what's really happening beneath the surface for physicians.

They dive into:
➡️ Why "burnout" underestimates the experience (and why many physicians are tired of hearing it).
➡️ The subtle, slow erosion of self that happens inside the "machinery of medicine."
➡️ What physicians are protecting when they stay stuck—even when it's painful.
➡️ The liberating realization: "I could quit. And I'm here by choice."
➡️ Tiny, daily practices that shift everything (like two breaths before entering a room).
➡️ The power of asking: "What color are your patient's eyes?"
➡️ How coaching helps physicians reclaim agency, identity, and meaning.

If you've ever felt like something is off—but couldn't name it—this conversation is your invitation to get curious.
