    🎙️ Episode 6: The Power of Connection — Social Self-Care

    Podcast: Supporting Physician Spouses
    Hosts: Kendra Harvey & Katie Harris

    In this heartwarming and eye-opening episode, Kendra and Katie dive into the concept of social self-care—not the kind that fills your calendar, but the kind that fills your soul. Whether you feel isolated or simply want to deepen your friendships, this episode offers practical insights and honest conversation around building the meaningful connections every physician family needs.

    💬 In This Episode:

    • The surprising number of hours it takes to move from acquaintance to close friend

    • The four essential types of social support every physician family needs:

      • Emotional: empathy, care, and safe companionship

      • Instrumental: practical help and tangible support

      • Informational: advice and wisdom from those with experience

      • Appraisal: encouragement, validation, and perspective

    • Why your spouse can’t be everything—and why that’s okay

    • How asking for help is a brave act of connection, not weakness

  • Episode 6: Feeling Numb and Overwhelmed? How Physician Spouses Can Reclaim Emotional Self-Care
    2025/07/08
    Episode Summary:

    In this first episode of our 3-part series on soul care, we dive into emotional self-care — not the bubble bath kind, but the messy, sacred work of reconnecting with our own emotions.

    As physician spouses, it’s easy to become emotionally invisible to ourselves while managing everyone else’s needs. Kendra and Katie share real stories, honest reflections, and practical ways to begin honoring your own emotional needs. Whether you feel emotionally numb, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of how to name what you're feeling — you're not alone.

    This episode is an invitation to pause, check in, and start small steps toward emotional awareness.

    What We Cover:
    • Why emotional self-care is not a luxury but a lifeline

    • The unique emotional load carried by physician spouses

    • The pattern of becoming emotionally invisible while staying high-functioning

    • The tension between supporting your spouse and finding your own identity

    • Real stories: from Mother’s Day letdowns to sacred moments of connection

    • Why naming your emotions matters (and how most of us skip this step)

    • The power of allowing yourself to feel instead of suppressing emotions

    • Navigating vulnerability and emotional honesty with others

    • How to create safe spaces for emotional conversations with trusted friends

    Listener Reflection:

    💡 Throughout your day, pause and ask yourself:
    "How am I really?"
    And if the answer is, “I’m not sure” — that’s okay. That’s where awareness begins.

  • Episode 5: When Lowering Expectations Goes Too Far
    2025/07/01

    Episode 5: When Lowering Expectations Goes Too Far

    July 1st is the medical world's New Year—and whether you're just starting out or well into the journey, you’ve probably heard the advice: “Lower your expectations.” In today’s episode, Kendra and Katie unpack this all-too-common mantra and explore the cost of lowering expectations too far.

    From unspoken relationship contracts to the logistics of life on a resident’s salary, we talk about what kinds of expectations should flex—and which ones should never be compromised.

    💬 We explore:

    • The danger of turning survival strategies into a permanent way of life

    • The difference between logistical and relational expectations

    • How small actions (like a card at breakfast) can maintain connection

    • When and how to renegotiate your “relationship contract”

    • Why emotional safety, respect, and partnership are non-negotiables

    You’ll leave with reflection questions to help you re-center your values and create conversations that protect your emotional well-being and your relationship.

    ✨ Reflection question: Where have you lowered expectations to avoid disappointment—and is it serving your relationship?
