We explore how parents can be overwhelmed by the stress of trying to keep up with perceived expectations for their child's development. Dr. Casares emphasizes the importance of understanding each child as a unique individual, with their own strengths and challenges, and avoiding the temptation to compare them to others or follow a one-size-fits-all approach. We also delve into the different types of developmental milestones, including both physical and emotional. We conclude by discussing the benefits of building a positive social network and how to filter out unhelpful advice and resources that push unrealistic expectations for children's development.   You can discover more about Dr. Casares' work by downloading the app Modern Mama's Club, following her on instagram @modernmommydoc, visiting her website modernmommydoc.com and by reading her book The Working Mom Blueprint.   For more information on Cooper please visit us on instagram @your_cooper and on-line at beta.yourcooper.com .

As a new mom, one of the most stressful things we can experience is not being able to soothe our babies. So when we face the “baby witching hour,” colic, or a fussy infant, we often feel like failures.  It's hard to cope with crying. It's even harder to let go of the expectation that we should be able to soothe every cry. Today, I'm joined by pediatrician Dr. Whitney Casares, founder of Modern Mommy Doc, to discuss how to survive the baby witching hour, and how to be kind to ourselves in the process.  Show Notes: http://bit.ly/3GgS2yi  Book a Free 15 min Consult with a mom therapist: happyasamother.co/wellness  Follow Happy as a Mother on Instagram: instagram.com/happyasamother  Sign up for our weekly VIP Newsletter: happyasamother.co/newsletter  Register for one of our popular workshops: happyasamother.co/shop

This leadership stance allows her to have a higher vision for life based on her core values. And she isn't the one doing all the work. She is directing it.

Dr. Whitney Casares is a private practice pediatrician, American Academy of Pediatrics author, and a mom to 2 young girls in Portland, Oregon.  She says that her kids are her best teachers, but that she also went to school for forever. After completing her undergraduate degree in journalism, she completed her medical school training at the University of Vermont and pediatric residency training at Stanford University. She also holds a Masters of Public Health in Maternal and Child Health from the University of California, Berkeley.  Whitney said that after her daughters were born, she got lost in their needs and let hers fall to the wayside. When she went back to work postpartum, life got even more complicated as she layered on more responsibilities and added more to-dos. She had to dive deep to redefine what it means to be a successful mom.  By flipping the switch and investing in her own social and emotional health, she stopped just surviving motherhood and started thriving.   [00:01] Dr. Whitney Casares Shares Her Story With Us Whitney talks about her story as a privately practicing pediatrician Here's why she started blogging and podcasting [07:11] Achieving Work-Life Balance Whitney gives us a sneak peek into the life of a pediatrician mom The pressure of being a working mom--regardless if you're a patient or not If pediatricians are always stressed, this is what will happen Is work-life balance really possible?

Being a working mother means juggling a lot of balls. Stress, overload, and exhaustion can make work a nightmare and in turn create an unhealthy home environment. Is it possible to simply let go and focus on the important things one at a time? Today, we sit down with Dr. Whitney Casares, a private practice pediatrician and mother. It was the combination of these two life paths that led her to write The New Baby Blueprint: Caring for You and Your Little One and her newest book The Working Mom Blueprint: Winning at Parenting Without Losing Yourself. Whitney discusses the significant changes to the pediatric approach that have occurred in the last decade, and how doctors are becoming more involved in the physical health of parents as well as the mental health of both parent and child. Whitney shares her experiences as a working mother trying to manage a time consuming career while figuring out how to care for a colicky newborn. She touches on her challenges with postpartum, and later, anxiety for both mommy and daughter. She created revolutionary ways to overcome these experiences, so much so that the American Academy of Pediatrics approached her about writing books to give advice to the large population that struggles with similar issues. We wrap up by exploring the way Whitney uses her books as credentials; allowing her access to organizations and corporations. There, she talks health, strategy, and awareness about the working mothers' needs, and how businesses can make simple changes that will save them time and money - and improve their working mothers' lives. If you are concerned about your company's approach to mental and physical health, this podcast is an eye-opener. Listen in, and learn about simple changes you can make to retain working mothers and help them flourish. Three Key Takeaways: Thought Leadership that comes from personal experience can be incredibly powerful. Thought Leadership needs to help organizations be proactive about creating a happy and healthy workplace. Using thought leadership to make small changes that accommodate working mothers can shape both careers and organizations.

Welcome to Real Job Talk, Whitney Casares- the author of the Working Mom Blueprint, pediatrician, mom, and supporter of moms in the workplace through her community at www.modernmommydoc.com. We invited Whitney to join us to talk about the realities of being a working mom, and also to discuss how managers, teams, and companies can support working parents. The pandemic has shed a light on the experience of being a working mom, and has given us a behind-the-scenes look at all of the things parents are juggling while also showing up at work. Whitney is the type of person who leans into everything she does- including being a pediatrician and a leader of her pediatric group. When Whitney became a mom she realized how hard it was to balance everything and felt like she was losing it in all areas. She started asking herself what she wanted her working mom life to look like, what gave her purpose, and she talked with other working moms about the inner conflict she was feeling. She coaches women on thinking about what their center vision is and what they want to define their life. Whitney's 5 center points are: * Connection with her kids * Personal wellness * Contribution to other women in a meaningful way * Financial freedom * Travel/adventure/new experiences She decluttered her physical space and schedule so that when making decisions she has freedom to put up boundaries against things that don't serve her center vision. That vision and those boundaries really come down to values- such as thinking about her children as being attached but independent. It's hard to break the pattern of being a pleaser and putting others in front of ourselves. It takes work (Whitney worked with a therapist and others). Surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are supportive of you is key to being true to yourself and your goals. As a working parent, choosing your volunteering wisely is a key to preserving sanity and energy. Whitney knows that the example she shows her daughters of being a CEO and managing with empathy teaches them the value of hard work, the ability of women to succeed without running ourselves into the ground, showing the value of rest and rejuvenation. We ask Whitney her thoughts on how society doesn't support working parents (not being open off-hours, asking parents to help in the classroom etc), and how companies can support parents. Whitney mentions Mary-Beth Ferrante of Work 360 talking about Parenting Out Loud, which means having people at all levels of the organization feel comfortable talking about themselves as parents. If the CEO is talking about having to leave work to take their kid to the orthodontist, the accountant will feel free to do the same. Whitney talks about asking what you need as support as a parent, but she talks about mapping out solutions that meet all of the requirements of the job that needs to be done. It allows people to show up to work as themselves and identifying the problem and the solution. You can't expect your employer to solve your problem, and when you create the solution you have more control over it. We asked Whitney about Lean In and the message to working moms. Whitney feels like Sheryl Sandberg's book represented a huge pendulum swing, and now we've moved things back towards the middle which now will move things forward. She also criticizes the original Lean In messaging that women need to be more masculine, especially since our emotional acuity is what makes us better at work. Hiding our femininity does not service our teams or ourselves. We talk about not giving 100% and giving 70% in order to have reserves for ourselves, and Whitney discusses selective mediocrity. Some things require 100% of our attention, but others we can phone it in. We asked Whitney what she wishes everyone working w parents, esp moms, knew, and she said to be aware of the depth of our conflict, and the desire to do it all and be it all. How we carry the mental load and a constant checklist of what our families need. Also to look at people as having moments and being able to take care of themselves during life changes and they will be more invested in the organization over time and thinking about what they can contribute over time. Seeing people as people and supporting them through change helps with retention. How do we support people as parents to make sure we have parents on our teams? Having representation at the highest levels of leadership is critical in order to make sure people's needs are represented. AND if you're the representative, you stand up for the people you represent. To make change, it's ok to start small. We talked about the great resignation and how over 3M women have left the workplace, and Whitney asks women to try and keep 1 foot in the door, but also for other people to mentor them back. People will come back to places that allow transparency and acknowledge the balance between parenting and work.

As a pediatrician, entrepreneur, and mother herself, Whitney Casares, MD, MPH, FAAP has a unique vantage point as to what mothers need to do to make sure they're OK and so their kids are OK. Because now more than ever, moms are conflicted about where to draw the line between their own self-care and what's best for their kids, leading to feelings of stress, being pulled in too many directions at once and burnout (none of which is good for families). In The Working Mom Blueprint: Winning at Parenting without Losing Yourself (American Academy of Pediatrics; May 11, 2021), Dr. Casares offers a practical plan that covers: · setting priorities · cultivating self-care · finding childcare · establishing an equal parenting partnership · delegating whenever appropriate · and much more Important Links www.modernmommydoc.com Instagram @modernmommydoc Grab the book Grab The Working Mom Blueprint https://amzn.to/3gou06V { affiliate link} Grab Fairplay https://amzn.to/2WhVIuJ { affiliate link} --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chatsfromtheblogcabin/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chatsfromtheblogcabin/support

Public students are going back to school full-time in the coming days for the first time in 18 months. We figured this was worth a couple episodes of the podcast. My colleague, Julie Evensen, interviewed Dr. Whitney Casares, a Portland pediatrician, about what parents should keep in mind when it comes to Delta, return to school, the vaccines and much more. This conversation ran on our Facebook account as well. We'll be back Monday with a regular episode featuring reporters Eder Campuzano and Aimee Green talking about the return to school and how parents, students and districts are preparing themselves.

“I feel like I'm supposed to do it all, and yet I feel like I'm hardly ever doing anything well.” Sound familiar? Pediatrician and working mom Dr. Whitney Casares says she heard this sentiment repeated frequently by moms in her pediatric practice. She explores the pressures modern moms face in her book The Working Mom Blueprint and sits down with host Laura Zarrow to talk about how working moms feel like they must be 24/7 “on” in all areas of their lives to be successful. Learn more about her at https://www.modernmommydoc.com/ where she's working to help moms break the cycle of burnout in parenting.

In this week's episode, I am chatting with Dr. Whitney Casares. She's a private-practice pediatrician, an American Academy of Pediatrics published author, and a mom to two young girls. Whitney wrote her book The Working Mom Blueprint after experiencing earlier struggles of being a working mom and witnessing the same in moms in her circle and in her practice. Dr. Whitney explains how societal burdens and the messaging around what it means to be a “successful mom” leads to guilt, especially for working moms. She believes that you can only show up as the best version of yourself to your kids when you give and care for yourself first. Working mom or SAHM, this is an excellent conversation and Dr. Whitney has SO much wisdom to share. Enjoy!

The Working Project Manager Mom A common struggle I see is the challenges and expectations faced by working moms. I think it's challenging for any working mom, but since many of our listeners are in project-related roles, I wonder if it's even more difficult for you? Your days are filled with planning, task management, getting things done, being efficient, and my guess is that mindset doesn't shut off when it comes to parenting. In many ways, that mindset probably helps you in your parenting. But it also might leave you exhausted as you wrestle with trying to do it all--trying to be all--when the demands of work and life make that an impossible fairy tale. In this episode, we're talking with Dr. Whitney Casares, author of a new book entitled The Working Mom Blueprint: Winning at Parenting Without Losing Yourself. It's a book packed with wisdom that I can't wait to introduce you to. Learn more about Whitney at ModernMommyDoc.com/.

"As working women, we have an opportunity to be an example of living with passion and priorities, of working hard, of staying committed, not necessarily to work itself but to the priorities we set around our work and our personal lives. When we work and parent simultaneously, we have a chance to teach our kids resilience — letting our kids see that even if they struggle with something they can handle it and get stronger from it — and to embrace a village mentality, not in a better way than stay-at-home moms can but in a very different way. Above all, we have the unique pleasure of encouraging our own kids to find real balance and real joy as they live their lives and as they go on to work and parent the next generation." Whitney Casares is a pediatrician and author of The Working Mom Blueprint: Winning at Parenting Without Losing Yourself. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Winning at parenting without losing yourself."

How the heck do you do it? That's the question working moms often ask one another when they feel like they're falling behind while everyone else they know is keeping up with it all. (Which usually isn't the case!) Working all day is tough enough, but then to come home to a house that needs cleaning, a hungry family, loads of laundry, and an empty fridge, and that's just the tip of the iceberg! You gotta be kidding me! Yeah, that's a lot. As moms, we have a tendency to martyr ourselves, putting our needs last of all. I see you, mama, running one kid to Taekwondo, the other to baseball, then rushing home to do laundry before you go pick them up and try to figure out what's for dinner.  Many moms are also operating without the help of a spouse as a single-parent, or married without help because either he's working out of town, or he works two jobs or an insane number of hours each week. Some of my personal favorite tips, which are also mentioned in today's episode and in the book mentioned below.
