Peggy Haslach takes over the podcast this week with a special bonus episode. When I was young, mothers would say to their daughters, “Settle down and find yourself a good doctor to marry.” Today we are joined by Lara McElderry host of the “Married To Doctors” podcast who tells us that being married to a doctor is not the life of shopping and country clubs people seem to think it is. And she is very appreciative to the role she can play helping her doctor and other spouses of doctors.The Spouses are the glue in the household.   The spouses of doctors often must put their own lives on hold while their spouses finish their residencies and fellowships. That often requires they put up with moving and the possibility that it will take some time to get to their “dream doctor job.” The purpose of the “Married To Doctors” podcast is to provide community and support to those spouses that share the similar experiences of being married to a doctor.The Spouses are the CEO, CFO and COO of the household.  Often if the non-medical spouse in the household will be the ones that run the household both financially and operationally. These spouses not only need to keep the home running, but they need to learn how deal with specific issues that doctors and their families face.The spouses are on the front line with their spouses during the COVID–19 crises.  Those doctors who are treating the COVID patients are putting their lives on the lines. Those doctors that are not treating  COVID-19 are clearing their schedules and are only working on limited cases and with limited supplies. This is putting stresses on the family. Doctors, nurses and all the professionals are truly our heroes right now.Tip of the Day:  It is important that we all take care of ourselves so that we can be there to care for our families. We are all looking for good solid advice and support these days.

Website https://marriedtodoctors.com/ Opinion The audio and energy is good. It starts good, then you do a TON of "how the sausage is made" and I don't think your audience cares. If you're interviewing 2 or 4 people we don't care. In the words of Valerie Geller, "There is no such thing as too long, only too boring" and if it's not boring, keep it in the episode. If the emails are good read them. Then when you get to the interview you introduce the show (again), and start to talk about how you're interviewing four people (again).  Get to the content.

My guest Lara McElderry knows all about the struggles of being married to a surgeon: the crazy hours, the extensive amount of time spent in training, and the toll it can take on any relationship dynamic. And in this episode, she offers up her time and provides some tips and advice for those who might be in the middle of a similar situation. It doesn't matter if a medical related position or not, all careers have the potential to be disruptive to a relationship and there are ways around sacrificing the longevity and health of your love and sex life. Lara went to school for Family and Consumer Science and has a master's degree in teaching from the University of Arkansas. And she lives in Missouri with her trauma surgeon husband and her children. Listen along and enjoy! Married to Doctors Lara begins this episode with some important details about her marriage and how despite the unique aspects of it and the stressful medical school, training, and moving that it entailed, that she still learned how to achieve the proper balance of intimacy with her husband. Now she now has a podcast called Married to Doctors and has learned some valuable things along the way about intimacy and relationships. The Challenges That Demanding Careers Can Have on Relationships When talking about her marriage with her trauma surgeon husband, the biggest challenge that she highlights is the difference in responsibilities that arise from different perspectives, careers, and work dynamics. Like many relationships, Lara was a stay-at-home mom and found it challenging to work with her husband coming home from work and wanting to spend intimate time with her almost immediately. But as she said, she soon realized that it was ok to leave the dishes dirty, and X and Y and Z unattended, even though she struggled with doing so. Especially because she grew up in a household where sleep was foregone if the dishes weren't done or other responsibilities weren't taken care of. In her husband's eyes, there was only a small amount of time they got to see each other every day. Eventually, she grew comfortable with being a little more flexible, and they both met halfway. This type of flexibility to difficult to cultivate, but very, very important. For more on the challenges, listen along to the episode! Solutions for Prioritizing Intimacy and Sex Lara says that when you have a hectic, crazy schedule due to a career, or a big family that takes a lot of your time and energy, scheduling your sex life can be very beneficial. She understands that not everyone subscribes to the method, but it can be a really useful tool for prioritizing such an important part of the relationship. And this doesn't mean formally setting up a designated time and place for sex but keeping a somewhat fixed idea of when sex is going to happen. Because your hours might vary widely, scheduling might be hard, but as Lara states, a loose schedule is useful. She also talks about the importance of teaming up with your spouse around the house to free up more time for sex. Doing things that help create situations having sex more readily available is a great strategy. Prioritizing the Relationship Finding things to do with one another is so important. And you can do things as a couple with the kids still around. As Lara states about the new things that she and her husband like to do together, to see each other anew on a consistent basis, they are vital for broadening and deepening the relationship. And it also has considerable carryover to a better sex life. And all of these activities don't have to revolve around lavish excursions to exotic places; they can take place at home, through simple means and through simple acts of affection and connection. For much more on this beautiful idea, listen to Lara describe it. No Such Thing as Happily Ever After! Lara tells us that of course, we won't suddenly stop facing struggles in our relationships, but if we can learn to face each change, each move or job change with a bit of curiosity and resiliency, we will be well-equipped to have a great relationship and great sex.

Episode Notes Lara talks with Wenny Lin and Michelle Kinder about their experiences of building their own successful careers while balancing the demands of being married to physicians.  Michelle Kinder Michelle Kinder is a Principal Scientist in Translational Research at a major pharmaceutical company in the Philadelphia area. Michelle has been performing cancer research since 2000 as an undergraduate at Penn State University where she met her future husband in a breast cancer research laboratory. Michelle received her Ph.D. in Immunology at the University of Pennsylvania and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis where she studied how to harness the immune system to eliminate cancer. Michelle moved back to Philadelphia after her husband matched in internal medicine. She has worked in Pharma since 2011 in different roles. Previously, Michelle worked to discover new therapies that activate the immune system to target cancer. Currently, she is responsible for assessing how therapeutics are functioning in cancer clinical trials through developing and assessing biomarkers. Michelle lives in Philadelphia with her 4-year-old son and her husband who is currently an attending. She is passionate about career development and met Wenny Lin when they were both volunteering for the American Association for Cancer Research to develop programming for early career scientists. In her rare free time, Michelle enjoys reading, pilates, and travel (especially to Italy). Wenny Lin Wenny is a cancer epidemiologist and currently works for a California-based pharmaceutical company while living in Philadelphia. She is passionate about public health and helping to get the right medicines to the right patients. She also enjoys teaching and mentoring young scientists. She is married to an orthopedic surgery resident, and they had a baby a month after residency started! They met in college and both pursued jobs and PhDs, which resulted in living in different cities or states for six years. When her husband left his chemical engineering career to pursue medicine, which resulted in two coast-to-coast moves, Wenny negotiated remote work-from-home arrangements so that she could continue to contribute to scientific research and advance professionally. In her rare quiet time, she dreams of improving her photography skills, starting a blog, and becoming financially independent to travel the world.

In this episode I interview Lara McElderry from the Married to Doctors podcast. Some might find that being married to a doctor isn’t as glamorous as society assumes.

Lara's mission statement is simple, "Making Successful Homes Happier." We talk about how to do that in this episode.   If you found this podcast useful, visit our blog at http://whitecoatinvestor.com/ for more personal finance and investing information.

She is married to a surgeon and she is on a mission to help other physicians. Help them to understand their path and what it is like to be married to a physician.   She and her husband got married before he started his medical path. For 16 years they have struggled, triumphed through the MCAT, through medical school, through residency and fellowships including a specialty change. They have 4 kids and she knows that being married to a physician is not an easy journey. I know she is going to bring to us some wisdom and talk to us through their journey. Please help me welcome, Lara McElderry! Welcome, Lara! In this podcast you will: Learn the lessons that Lara would share with the physicians on how they could support their spouse and nurture their marriage.
