The Mindful PharmD Mama Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jean McLaughlin
Pharmacist moms often have a drive to do it all - have a fulfilling career, maintain a perfect home, and all while raising a family. And we expect to do this without losing ourselves and our sanity in the process. But let's get real - striving for that perfectly balanced life just leads to stress and anxiety. And the harsh truth is that perfection is a myth. I'm on a mission to help pharmacist moms take back control over their mindset. I want to help you stop the overwhelming pursuit of a perfect work-life balance, and instead, find joy on the other side of that struggle. You can start to make positive change happen right now by deciding that life as a working mom gets to be easy. Join me in conversations about mindset, motherhood, and the tools, strategies, and all the other things that will empower you to cultivate harmony between your personal life and career. This is a place to find encouragement and support from one pharmacist mom to another. I'm Jean McLaughlin, and this is The Mindful PharmD Mama Podcast.

Words have power. They have the power to lift us up or bring us down. In this last part of October’s mini pep talks, I share how a discouraging comment can affect your mindset.

But if you want to keep moving forward, it’s important to have a mindset practice in place to help you reframe a negative mindset into something positive.
