Hey Doc,What do you do when everything looks “successful” on paper… but you're not actually satisfied?In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Gina Dapul-Hidalgo — allergist, CEO, twin mom — we talk about the season that doesn't get discussed enough.The one where you've done everything right.You trained.You built the career.You became the mom.And yet… something feels off.Dr. Gina shares what it was like to realize she wasn't fulfilled and to invest in herself before she had proof it would work.We talk about:The quiet dissatisfaction that creeps in after training endsMaking a “scary” financial investment in coachingDiscovering limiting beliefs she didn't even know were running the showHow being an IMG shaped her confidence, and how she dismantled that narrativeWhy she started taking 24–48 hours away each year (yes, with twins at home)And what it really means to bet on yourself as a physician momThis conversation is about ownership.Owning your brilliance.Owning your dissatisfaction.Owning your need for support.Owning your ambition, especially after motherhood.

Hey Doc,What happens when you're pregnant with twins, working full-time, and living in a city with no family nearby?In this first part of my conversation with Dr. Gina Dapul-Hidalgo, board-certified pediatric and adult allergist, private practice CEO, and twin mom, we go back to the beginning.Before the CEO title.Before the older-kid stage.Back to the pregnancy. The delivery. The five-week postpartum return to work.Dr. Gina shares what it was like to carry twins to 38 weeks, build a life far from home, and realize in real time that there wasn't going to be a built-in village waiting.We talk about the intentional decision she and her husband made to spend those first few days alone with their newborns, not because help wasn't offered, but because they wanted to figure out who they were as parents first.She opens up about:Going back to work before her body had fully recoveredNavigating postpartum when your career doesn't pauseWhat partnership actually looked like at 2:30 a.m. with two crying babiesAnd the quiet identity shifts that show up in things as small as swapping heels for flatsWhether you're pregnant now, in the thick of postpartum, or long past the newborn phase but still navigating the weight of motherhood + medicine, this story will feel familiar in the best way.
What happens when you finally stop asking permission to be yourself? If you’ve been wondering how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, this conversation will show you it’s possible. Homeschool mom and creative entrepreneur Latoya shares her journey from living for everyone else to discovering what she actually wants—and why that shift changed everything in her homeschool life. This month’s focus: Nurturing the Nurturer — because you can’t give what you don’t have, and your kids don’t need your perfection. They need your presence. Latoya hit 40 and realized she’d spent decades doing what everyone expected—but had never asked herself what SHE actually wanted. As a homeschool mom, restaurant management graduate, and someone who always made sure everyone else was okay, the idea of prioritizing herself felt selfish. Scary. Wrong. But when she finally gave herself permission to explore her creativity, build her crochet business, and trust her own voice? That was when things began to shift. Her homeschool days became more peaceful. Her kids became more autonomous. And she discovered that choosing herself wasn’t selfish—it was the best thing she could do for her family. How to Stop People-Pleasing as a Homeschool Mom: Latoya’s Journey from Self-Sacrifice to Self-Trust What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For: Why serving yourself actually serves your family better How to distinguish between what you want and what others expect of you The power of silence and solitude in discovering your authentic voice Why “waiting for the answer” is part of the process From Rigid to Present: Redefining Homeschool Success What a “good day” used to look like (spoiler: checking all the boxes) vs. what it looks like now How to choose peace over productivity for a more meaningful family life Why your kids’ autonomy grows when you honour your own The truth about gaps, “behind,” and what kids actually need to thrive Caribbean Flow vs. Hustle Culture: The cultural pressure to always be “doing something” Why presence matters more than productivity How to give yourself permission to just BE with your people What happens when you stop measuring success externally Creative Work as Life Force (Not Luxury): Why Latoya’s crochet business isn’t “extra”—it’s essential How creative pursuits actually fuel better mothering Choosing fulfillment over financial gain (and being okay with that) Teaching your kids to honour their interests by modeling it yourself The Inner Work Nobody Talks About: Why inner work is gritty, messy, and nothing like social media portrays How to extend to yourself the same compassion you give others The first small decision where you stop explaining and start trusting yourself Why disappointing others is sometimes the most aligned choice “What is best for you, for me is what’s best for them because it trickles into everything else. So the happier I become, the more comfortable I become with myself, the better everything around me gets.” — Latoya Why This Conversation Matters This isn’t just another interview about homeschooling. It’s about what happens when you finally permit yourself to ask: Who am I beyond the roles I play? If you’re struggling with how to stop people-pleasing as a homeschool mom, Latoya’s story is for you. She’s every mom who’s ever wondered if wanting something for herself makes her selfish. But here’s what Latoya discovered (and what you will too): When you choose yourself, your kids don’t suffer. They thrive. Because they get to see what it looks like to honor your own voice, trust your own knowing, and live from alignment instead of obligation. Your homeschool doesn’t need more curriculum. It needs more of YOU—the real you, the aligned you, the unapologetic you.

This morning, I present significant weather developments across Alaska and the contiguous United States, particularly highlighting the blizzard and winter weather advisories issued by the National Weather Service. As we navigate through perilous travel conditions and potential whiteout scenarios, it is imperative to remain vigilant, especially in areas affected by strong southerly winds and gusts reaching up to 70 mph in Southern California. Additionally, I will provide an overview of recent seismic activity, which remains minimal, with a recorded minor earthquake near Toya, Texas, that has not resulted in any reported damage. We will also discuss the updated assistance information from FEMA regarding Hurricane Helene, urging survivors to review program details and impending deadlines. Throughout this briefing, we shall continue to monitor and relay active alerts and official updates to ensure public safety and preparedness.Takeaways:* The National Weather Service has issued blizzard warnings for various regions in Alaska, indicating severe weather conditions.* California is experiencing strong southerly winds that may lead to downed limbs and hazardous travel for high-profile vehicles.* FEMA has updated its Hurricane Helene assistance page, providing essential information for survivors seeking support.* New York is under winter weather advisories due to lake effect snow, impacting travel and road conditions significantly today.* A minor earthquake was recorded in Texas, though no significant damage or impacts were reported in the area.* Active weather alerts will be monitored throughout the day to ensure public safety and awareness.Sources[NWS San Diego | https://kesq.com/weather/alerts-weather/2026/02/11/high-wind-warning-issued-february-11-at-324am-pst-until-february-11-at-100pm-pst-by-nws-san-diego-ca/][NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard — Watches/Warnings | https://www.weather.gov/lox/][NWS Fairbanks — DSS Winter | https://www.weather.gov/afg/dsswinter][NWS Juneau — Hazards | https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=59.6702&lon=-135.5379][NWS Buffalo — Advisory | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?product1=Winter+Weather+Advisory&warnzone=NYZ006][NWS Albany — Advisory | https://www.weather.gov/aly/winterheadlines][USGS Latest Earthquakes | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/] This is a public episode.

You already have the degree that matters, doc.But somewhere along the way, many of us started believing that we need another certification, another course, or another set of letters behind our name before we're “ready” to do the thing we actually want to do.In this episode, I'm breaking down three common degrees I see women physicians chasing — not because they truly need them, but because they've been taught to delay, over-prepare, and perfect before taking action.This isn't about being anti-education. I love learning. But I want you to be honest with yourself:→ Are you avoiding the leap by hiding behind a course?→ Is this degree going to move you forward — or just keep you busy?→ Do you actually need it… or just feel like you should?Before you spend another dollar or minute chasing qualifications you may not even use — listen to this.
Hey Doc,In this episode, I'm sharing a major life update that, on the surface, looks like a hard pivot, but is actually a continuation of everything I've been building since I left corporate medicine.
Let me tell you all the story of how I defeated my Arch-Rival and Nemesis (or was it Arch-Nemesis and Rival?) Akira Toya. Also, a little discussion about rivalries in Go!Join the DiscordSupport Star PointThe Star Point Store
Hey Doc —If you got sick tomorrow, would your family know how to care for you?Would your partner step up?Would your kids know what to do?Or would you be left watching everyone wait for you to get better, so you can get back to doing everything again?This episode is about the stories we tell ourselves about being “needed” and the quiet ways we teach our families to expect us to do it all. It's not just about being unsupported in the moment, it's about a pattern we've set over years of overfunctioning. And I'll talk about where that pattern starts, how it plays out, and most importantly, how to change it.I'm breaking down:Why being mad at your partner isn't the full pictureHow gender roles show up in your house even when you don't believe in themWhat your children are learning from the way you live not just what you sayAnd the questions I want every woman physician to ask about the example she's settingWhether you have sons, daughters, toddlers, or teens — this one's for you.Not to shame.To wake you up.Because what you're modeling right now, becomes their norm later.
On this week's video episode, Dylan sits down with Married to Medicine's Dr. Heavenly to unpack why this season has felt heavier and more difficult than any of her past ones, including her very bold take on her “perfect” marriage with Dr. Damon. She claps back at Quad and Gizelle Bryant's comments on WWHL and says that, like her, Gizelle just likes to talk. Then she addresses her relationship with Toya and makes it clear she's not entertaining the disrespect. Plus, she reacts to Dr. Simone weighing in on her run for Congress, shares why she chose forgiveness while Simone is dealing with a lot, and closes by laying out exactly what she wants to do in office and why she thinks you should vote for her.

This is a reimagined “I Have A Dream” speech as a rage anthem. We have to shift the energy from "hopeful persistence" to "righteous, explosive fury." So here is my hip-hop version of a call to reflection. The dream won't die, we will fiercely defend it. I HAVE A DREAM—that you're terrified! I HAVE A DREAM—that your hate has died! I HAVE A DREAM—that the truth will sting! LET FREEDOM RING! LET FREEDOM RING! LET. FREEDOM. RING! From the red hills! RING! From the snow caps! RING! From every village! From every state! We're drowning out the sound of your ancient hate! FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! GOD ALMIGHTY, WE'RE TAKING IT BACK! I just dropped "I was the 80" on Spotify, Apple, and wherever you listen to music!!! I remember the 80/20 rule in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? This was a powerful relationship metaphor to explain why people often cheat and leave good partners. The 80 is what you need. That 20 is what you want. I am the 80, we are the 80. I firmly believe that we are in a new age and it's age of Aquarius. It's all about sovereignty, frequency, and interconnectedness. We're moving from the Piscean age, when we relied on external authority and reactive medicine. Now it's my responsibility to manage my own vibration and use nature to help me heal. Dayumm!! The Black Dante' is fire!!! I have the honor of reading The Count of Monte Cristo, which is more than an adventure. It's an epic that mirrors the tumultuous life of the creator, Alexander Dumas. He just didn't write about a man seeking justice. He wrote from the perspective of a man whose own family had been elevated by a revolution and raised by restoration. Real HW and MM Angel Angel Angel-This trip is not for this show. Jassi with the BS. Playin' chess, and making them pay for not making her full time. Tia, girl. Staci Rush is killing it by being her own weird self Wendy, morphing into herself, no weave, and reading the girls for filth! Giselle go off—> Ashley, sit your stinkin' feet down. M-T-M All the black folks are confusing me Why does Toya hate Quad? Oh yeah, Quad has everything, fan favorite has King and Toya still spinning and not happy. Why does Toya hate Dr. Mimi? It's giving insecure Why is Toya beefing with Heavenly? Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable, and please don't suffer in silence. This is a joyous season, and sometimes we have to make a concerted effort to find the joy. I find mine by reading writing and commenting on my favorite movies. Some need more help to get that focus.

Hey Doc,“I'll do locums once the kids are older.”Sound familiar?That's the line I hear most from physician moms when they're curious about locums but don't think it's realistic with a baby or toddler at home.But here's the truth:I started doing locums with a 2-year-old and a newborn and it turned out to be one of the best parenting decisions I ever made.Not because it was easy.But because it gave me more freedom, more presence, and more say in how I showed up — both at home and at work.In this episode, I walk you through how I made it work:Why “wait until they're older” might actually be harderHow my setup (with daycare, nannies, and locums shifts) gave our whole family more peaceWhat it took to breastfeed, pump, and store milk on the roadAnd why leaving for 24 hours helped my husband and kids more than it hurtThis isn't about pushing you toward locums.It's about showing you what's possible, even when they're tiny.Because babies don't need perfection. They need love, routine, and a mom who's supported not sacrificed.

Open Forum The forum began with a robust discussion on Greek life. Pastor Amos cautioned against involvement, citing cult-like elements, while Stephanie and Toya offered nuanced personal perspectives. Concerns were also raised about possible Masonic ties to these organizations. Sonja and Pastor Amos addressed issues with text message responses, attributing them to ambiguity or the absence of clear systems, and announced an upcoming Bible study focused on clarity. Pastor Amos reaffirmed the one-hour format for Friday Bible studies and noted a potential unrecorded discussion to follow. Monique shared her struggles with discerning God's will through recurring dreams, sparking a broader conversation about balancing work, calling, and financial sustainability, including suggestions on automating tasks and choosing clients wisely.

Hey DocWe made it. A brand new year and the 100th episode of Stethoscopes and Strollers.This isn't just a milestone. It's a moment to pause, reflect, and remember why this podcast, and this work, exists in the first place.Yes, it started with postpartum burnout.Yes, it evolved through early motherhood, transitions, and work stress.But at the center of it all? Empowering women physicians to stop giving their power away — at home, at work, and everywhere in between.In this episode, I reflect on how my mission has deepened and where we're headed in 2026. We talk about:Why empowerment has always been the pointThe real impact of conditioning in medicine and motherhoodWhat it means to be powerful on your termsAnd what's next for this community beyond just physician moms
Your favorite shows are officially back, and so are we. On today's episode of AllAboutTRH, we jump straight into The Real Housewives of Potomac and unpack why Angel may already be facing an uphill battle with this group. Was she wrong for switching up the destination for the ladies' Colorado trip, or is the reaction way overblown? We break down the dynamics, the expectations, and why this situation feels like classic Potomac tension. From there, we shift into Married to Medicine, diving into why this series continues to deliver some of the realest moments on Bravo. We get into Toya and Eugene's raw marital argument, what it reveals about long-term relationships, and why Dr. Simone is completely justified in feeling unappreciated by her own family. Honest takes, real conversations, and zero filler, this is the kind of recap you don't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Toya tries to get some drama going with Heavenly on Married To Medicine, and this time it's at a “make your own purse” party.

Hey Doc,It's Ole Year's Day, as we say in Trinidad! And whether you call it Ole Year's Day or New Year's Eve, the energy's the same: reflect, reset, repeat.Before you close the book on the year — or let your mind spiral on all the things that didn't happen — I want you to do one thing (well, two):Remember what did.Pause on that instinct to scroll through everything that didn't happen.This isn't the moment to self-diagnose your shortcomings.It's the moment to recognize what went well this year — even if it was messy, inconsistent, or only happened once.You're here. You kept showing up. And maybe you even got a full night's sleep once or twice.That counts.

Toya Bush Harris joins Lip Service for a candid, unfiltered conversation about marriage, motherhood, and life in the public eye. From celebrating her birthday with the hosts to opening up about her long-running marriage to Dr. Eugene Harris, Toya gets real about the highs, the challenges, and the misconceptions that come with being on reality TV. She directly addresses viral cheating rumors that spread online, explaining how false stories about secret babies, DNA tests, and divorce filings impacted her family—and why she and Eugene initially laughed before the rumors crossed a line. Toya also responds to ongoing marriage criticism, sharing why she refuses to apologize for having a supportive husband and a partnership built on communication, trust, and growth. Throughout the episode, Toya reflects on her upbringing, past relationships, celibacy before marriage, raising teenage sons, and how reality TV has functioned as an unexpected form of therapy in her relationship. She also discusses the pressure of public judgment, cast dynamics on Married to Medicine, and why being authentic—flaws and all—matters more than pleasing the internet. This episode is funny, honest, and deeply personal—showing Toya beyond the headlines and reminding listeners that not everything they read online is true.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Jungle welcomes a new voice in Episode 130 as Toya Top Floor steps into the den. As the host of Unknown Plug CT, Toya lives at the intersection of media, culture, and conversation, making her a natural fit for the Jungle's unfiltered energy. Before the debates heat up, we take time to get to know her — how she built her platform, what drives her voice, and why Connecticut continues to produce conversations louder than people expect. Music opens the episode with the squad breaking down fresh drops and shifting sounds. Polo G's “High Tolerance” sparks discussion around pain rap and whether vulnerability still hits the same when success changes the struggle. Lil Uzi's “Regular” brings the conversation into individuality, evolution, and what it means to stay weird while staying relevant. A$AP Ferg's “Flip Phone Shorty” taps into nostalgia, image, and the balance between simplicity and status in today's culture. From there, the Jungle turns its attention to the headlines — and the reactions don't disappoint. Lena The Plug inviting Blueface into content territory while Adam watches sends the room into a deeper conversation about boundaries, performance, and where spectacle replaces intimacy. Juelz Santana's comments about kids not needing to know how to read ignite a necessary discussion about responsibility, influence, and how careless words travel further when you have a platform. OBJ admitting he can't make $100 million last shocks the room and opens a bigger conversation about financial literacy, lifestyle inflation, and the myths of generational wealth. And 50 Cent promoting a Diddy documentary on Good Morning America becomes less about promotion and more about power, timing, and who controls narratives in real time. As always, the episode finds its core in the relationship talk — where the jokes fade and the honesty sets in. The squad asks whether people still need to formally ask someone to be their girlfriend in an era where situationships run the game. Then comes the uncomfortable hypothetical: if your partner allows a threesome but it can only involve your pleasure and not theirs, is that really freedom or just control? The conversation deepens as we explore where honesty crosses into oversharing, and whether being too available actually kills attraction rather than builds security. Episode 130 balances insight, humor, and tension — a conversation shaped by media minds, cultural chaos, and relationship realities that don't come with clean answers. A new guest, familiar Jungle energy, and another reminder that nothing here is meant to be comfortable — just real.

Hey Doc —How do you manage with young kids with household duties, work, marriage…life?It's the question I hear constantly — in coaching calls, Facebook posts, in casual conversations when someone's hanging on by a thread. And if you have no nearby family and no reliable backup? The question starts to feel like a punchline.Most advice boils down to: Just outsource more.But if it were that simple, you would've done it already.In this episode, I walk you through the real answer — the one I give my clients when they're exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning whether this version of life is sustainable. And no, it doesn't start with a budget or a new chore chart. It starts with values. Identity. Permission.You'll learn:Why mindset work has to come before outsourcingHow to audit your household labor (without sparking a fight)What “paid” and “unpaid” village building actually looks likeAnd how to make space for the life you worked so hard to buildThis isn't about becoming more efficient.It's about building a system that supports the version of you that matters most.
Married To Medicine is back, and in a shocking turn of events, the season begins with Dr. Simone and Quad feuding. At this point, the whole cast is sick of it, but that's sort of what makes it funny. Plus, Heavenly is missing in action, Toya has allegations, and a new crop of cast members is ready to stir the pot. So far so good!
