As a physician, I was hard-wired for hard work, and sometimes that comes at the cost of my well-being…physical and mental. I, especially as a mom, have been known to ignore the little voices and the heart tugs and sacrifice quality time for productivity. However, when I realized that if I dropped dead today, the world would keep turning, it really ...
