Eight Month Check In with Dr. Tyler Lucas

Fatherhood On Fire

In this episode we check back in with Dr. Tyler Lucas. We first interviewed a few days before his daughters birth, then a month after wards to see if it was what he expected. We're checking back in at the eight month mark to see how they're doing.

Tyler shares how they've handled childcare for Nora with daycare being shut down.

Tyler shares his insights on Covid from his perspective as a medical resident and how things are slowly getting back towards normal and they're seeing an increase in in person visits. How will we be able to respond as things move and flow.

As one of two Chief Resident's Tyler shares how being in a leadership role during Covid is actually a blessing and has exposed him and his colleagues to critical decisions early in his career.

Tyler also speaks about the challenges of mental health and depression for healthcare professionals. He says often times working in a high pressure industry people fall into rhythms and get burnt out without anyone noticing. He uses triathlon and exercise to maintain balance and unplug from the stresses of his work.

We talk about the challenges of exercising with a baby and the different baby carriers and attempts to get exercise done with a baby.

Tyler shares the most unexpected part of becoming a father and how it's made him so much more grateful for everything he has.
