Unbothered with Meroë Adeeb Tchomobe #4

Society often attaches a stigma to being married to a physician. Other times, people will assume that because you’re married to a person of prominence, a doctor in this case, you’re living the high life with endless amounts of money. Today we’re talking with Meroë Adeeb Tchomobe, a classically trained soprano opera singer and spouse of a physician. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be married to a doctor, you’re going to get an inside look.

• A Fairytale Love Story While Pursuing Your Dreams
• Dual Prominent Demanding Careers

A Fairytale Love Story While Pursuing Your Dreams

Meroë and her husband, Ghislain, met on a summer break and fell head over heels in love, but they knew they both were determined to continue with their education and following their dreams. It was then that they made the decision to have a long-distance relationship and support one another even though their dreams took them to different places. They had each worked exceptionally hard to get to where they were, and quitting wasn’t an option.

Dual Prominent Demanding Careers

While Meroë supported her husband in his dream of becoming a doctor, she finished her masters in classical opera training from New York. Once they had both finished their education, Ghislain agreed to sacrifice a bit, and apply to clinical rotation programs that were within driving distance of where Meroë was already living. And, to show her husband the same respect and support he showed her, Meroë has agreed to move to wherever her husband gets the best job offer, showing that you can still support one another while pursuing your prospective careers. We really dove in on the importance of having something for yourself when your spouse is submerged in working toward their dreams as well.

Adding A Munchkin To the Mix

Once they moved in together, they were pleasantly surprised to find out they were adding to their family! Dual careers or not, they were about to add more love, and a lot more logistical dynamics to the mix. And, although, we were originally focused on talking about how to follow your dreams despite a demanding career or being married, we would be remiss if we didn’t talk about these sweet, little blessings, and the complexity they bring to the equation, highlighting the fact that it’s always a balancing act.
