Mommy-hood is indeed a blessing yet it is the most tiresome job on earth. it is a period of immense excitement coupled with a bit of nervousness.even though me and My husband have taken Musa’s responsibility equally but I still get tired at the end of day.
But that doesn’t mean one must not think of becoming a mother just for all those challenges that comes with it.When you become a mom,that space in your life which you never knew was empty gets filled making you feel complete ❤️

Half day in clinic today means extra lovin’ on this little chunk! Love his sweet bug eyes Thank y’all for all the support and sweet DMs checking in to see how my first week has been going! I can happily report that it is going GREAT! I am so lucky to be in such a supportive program with co-residents who have helped me (a ton ) learning the EMR. And an awesome chief who makes sure I have had plenty of opportunities to pump throughout the day I think I might just be able to handle this whole ‘working mama’ thing
July 1st. Welcome, all new interns! You’ve achieved so much and deserve to be where you are. Take up as much of your own space as possible. Be open to learn. And the biggest advice I give is - you don’t have to be grateful for the garbage you get. Complacency and infantilization is how medicine continues to abuse doctors (in training and after). It’s important to note that 1 in 3 resident physicians are depressed, 20% of interns experience depression, and 400 physicians take their own life each year. My experience informs my perspective - I felt much more autonomy in college even when I was triple majoring (until my last year) and working/taking 24+ credit semesters each semester/volunteering/doing research. Medical school seemed so much more relaxed since I didn’t have to do anything but focus on studying those first two years. Then, as an MS3/4 I learned the stripping of autonomy as a foundation of medical culture. Even as an MS4, scheduling prenatal appointments was often met with push back and resistance - and I was a non-essential part of any team at that time. In the backdrop was a chronic illness that taught me that life is fleeting and special. I entered physicianhood with hope, which I now know was too much. I believed the fantasy, the glamorization. Then I became an intern - I also literally became the most broken, empty version of myself. Mostly out of survival, but mixed with disillusion/despair. I intimately understood why doctors choose to end their pain. I’ve never been the same and my experience in medicine is forever under the shadow of that year. So if you find yourself in the darkest place this year know that you’re not alone, that there are others you can look to, and that you’re not wrong - this system is wrong. And we change it through community and sharing our stories ❤️ what saved me is this little boy right here, everything I do is for him. Even choosing to continue on. Thank you to my husband for supporting me and making sure I was okay no matter how hard it is, I love you.
July 1st - it means so many things.
We are halfway through 2019, which blows my mind.
This is the day for those of us in medicine, a new year begins. In my current life, life post-training, this doesn’t mean much to me. Although I clearly remember the girl who 10 years ago was starting her intern year AGAIN for the second time.
I was switching from EM to OBGYN and I was terrified at the moment. What if I had made the wrong choice? What if this field was not for me? What if everyone else was right? What if I couldn’t cut it? What of everyone was mean?
Seriously, doubt everywhere.
Everywhere.
It was one of the single best decision I ever made - to switch fields.
To leap without knowing where I would land.
To trust my gut and my heart.
To go against what so many others were saying.
To know that I needed and wanted more out of my professional life.
But huge changes don’t just happen.
They don’t.
They take time, insight, honesty, and vulnerability.
They take goals, action plans, and execution.
To accomplish anything great - you must put yourself out there.
You must push your boundaries further than they have been.
You must have a little bit of fear.
Because you should want this.
You should want to grow and change and evolve and achieve and dream and become whatever it is your heart dreams of.
This is your one life, I want you to make the most of it.
So I’m asking you - what is your goal?
I’m super excited to be launching my first workshop July 8 - the 90-Day Goal Setting Workshop (you can register now for 50% off). In this workshop I’m talking about goals, walking you through how to set goals for Q3 and making a step by step plan for how you are going to achieve them. The first step is to think big, the second step is to think about you, and what really sets your soul on fire.
Let’s start making 2019 the year we make major progress on what you are dreaming to achieve.
This week’s #asawoman podcast is “Share Your Goals” and I’m standing here with my biggest supporters, even when my dreams feel a little too big, they always believe in me.
Happy July 1st!

I’ve debated how much to talk about the fact that I’m preparing to take my oral boards in a few months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think part of me felt like if I talked about preparing for it here then I’d be forced to admit to you guys if I failed it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, if I’m going to be here, I’m going to be real...and right now real is me stressed the heck out about preparing for this final hurdle in ObGyn Board Certification.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of us do oral boards after our 2nd year as an attending, and I’m wrapping mine up now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, good or bad, I’m going to include you guys on that journey. And if I’m in the 12% that trip over this hurdle of board certification and end up failing...well I guess I’ll suck it up and share that too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I built this platform on transparency and authenticity, go big or go home, right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, in my free moments and on my days off right now I’m reviewing hundreds of patients charts and freaking the heck out about the next few months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s the next big, scary hurdle in your life? I know we’ve all got something!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's July 1! First day for interns in the hospital, so I thought I'd share some social media tips for all of the new doctors out there. I know you'll be itching to post about your brand new white coats, badges and responsibilities, but be thoughtful in what you post.
.
1️⃣ Check with your hospital regarding their social media policy - each hospital is different. Some are much more strict regarding social media usage in the hospital. You certainly do not want to violate these policies on your first day.
2️⃣ Be mindful of your surroundings when taking selfies. Seriously, turn around and look behind you. Is there a patient chart with a name visible? Are there patients or other people who don't wish to be photographed in the background? Be cognizant of where you are and what's in your shot (even in portrait mode)!
.
3️⃣ Patient identification data is more than just their name, face or date of birth. Think about it like this - if you're posting about a difficult or interesting case, would the patient be able to identify themselves in your post? Imagine that every single one of your posts is being read by your patients and administration. That should guide you in your decision making (if your hospital doesn't have a set policy). Certain cases are so specific and unique that they are identifying in and of themselves. When in doubt, don't post.
Hope everyone has a wonderful first day and I wish you lots of luck on this amazing adventure!
.
To mark the start of the new interns, I did a 'Doctor Reacts" to the very first episode of Grey's Anatomy and reminisced about my days as an intern 17 years ago! (LINK IN BIO). #attendinglounge #medicalintern #internadvice
Mood...after my official first day of residency It felt amazing introducing myself as “Dr. Bessette” to patients for the first time, but man! my brain is whooped! Now for that glass of wine to wash down my slice of humble pie ♀️ But in all honesty, I am beyond excited to be where I am and to be on this wild journey. I am even more grateful for the patients that are allowing me to be part of their care ❤️
