How to Stop Over-functioning, and Become the Person You’re Meant to Be with Dr. Whitney Casares

Modern Mom Probs

In this conversation, Dr. Whitney Casares, pediatrician and founder of Modern Mommy Doc and Tara discuss strategies for setting your day up for success, finding the right time to exercise, and balancing workouts with daily tasks. They also explore the importance of scheduling tasks and prioritizing, defining your priorities, and exploring new hobbies and interests. One of the most enlightening discussions revolved around "center points," which Dr. Casares defines as the five key areas in a person's life that bring joy and fulfillment. Identifying these center points is crucial, and the exercises in her book guide readers through this process. The conversation concludes with a discussion on having conversations with your partner, practicing compassionate assertiveness, and maintaining accountability. Dr. Whitney's book, 'Doing It All: Stop Overfunctioning and Become the Mom and Person You Are Meant to Be,' provides further insights and strategies for achieving a centered life.
