Hello there, thank you so much for tuning in today, it is springtime finally. And in the northeast, there's hope in the air, summer is around the corner. And I'm sure so many of you have awesome trips planned or have had spring break trips or are doing summer stuff, all good. And today's episode was really inspired by the dysfunctional relationships that you probably have. I know there's no way all your relationships are 100% perfect. So I want to talk about why this happens. And I think participating in unhealthy dynamics and relationships is a major thief. And it steals peace of mind. And it steals joy and it's a huge waste of time. So, the sooner that we can start learning about our lives, and just learning to be aware, and then with that awareness, we can have tools that we use to really create this beautiful life. Because I know so many of you probably are just go, go, go from the minute your alarm goes off, getting out the door, yelling at your kids to get ready on time, brush their teeth, then you feel guilty for yelling. And then when you're at work, all you're doing is thinking about home stuff and your kids. When you're with your kids you want to be present. But even during their nighttime routine storytime, you're just thinking of your to do list or counting down the minutes until you get a little bit of a break before you go to bed. And so that's what I call the daily grind dread cycle. And it's such a shame for any of us to be participating in it because we've worked so hard to enjoy this life. And really, the work I do inside my program with clients, really teaches them to undo all of this and really heal from the inside out to create a next healthier and happier generation of children. So that's our kids. And the work we do really does impact them and have a ripple effect on those around us. And as we model better self talk, better coping skills, showing them how we practice mindfulness, for example. And we take a moment before we lose it and things like that. They see that modeled and they learn to do the same thing, which is amazing. So this work really isn't so much about us. I do this work, so that we get to be better for our kids than our parents were for us. So let's dive into the topic today. And also, if you want to learn more about this work, don't be shy book a call with me, PriancaNaikMDcoaching.as.me, the link is in the show notes. And we can really dive deeper into what's going on with you, see if we're a good fit to work together. So in today's episode, I'm going to start by talking about some access to personality disorders, typically, narcissism and borderline because I think that they're very common, and those are really two disorders, and people have those traits, and these traits can be really pervasive in a lot of people. And in fact, Type A women, perfectionists and high achievers, overachievers often have narcissistic parents. And that narcissism has its positive side because as that parent, they identify with you like you're a part of their identity, and you're perpetuating their sense of self. So they put pressure on you to produce and to do well, and even there are narcissistic cultures, which I really believe that South Asian culture has a lot of narcissistic tendencies. And I'm gonna get into the actual disorder, so how you can learn and identify it. But yeah, there are cultures that have personality disorder traits and people who have those. And so ...

Hello there. Thank you so much for tuning in today to today's podcast episode of empowering working moms. And hopefully the weather is warming up near you. I know finally the sun is shining here. It was raining like crazy yesterday. It has been an interesting week or so, maybe 10 days for me. My old au pair left, I was awaiting my new au pair, in between childcare, trying to work. And then I ended up having to move up carpal tunnel surgery. And that was going to be literally like the second day my new au pair was here. And then driving with her to make sure that she's safe to drive my kids. It's been pretty logistically crazy. And that's what really inspired today's episode. Because really, so many times when we're at work, we're just obsessing over our to do lists, getting everything done, vacuuming with the Dyson, the crumbs, or signing our kids up for soccer. And then when we're at home, we're thinking about emails that we need to answer. Or if you're a physician, you might have charts pending that you need to finish piling up and a backlog. And you end up just not being present. You're not present at home because you're thinking about work. You're not present at work, because you're thinking about home. And you're just missing out and you're stuck in this daily grind dread trap. And this really happens because you're just so busy. And you're busy trying to keep up with everything in your life. And then you just end up falling behind and feeling like you're not doing good enough of a job. And then life is just really passing you by. And so, this whole logistical the circumstances that were super annoying in these past 10 days, I just had so much to do, my to do list was really long. And well, I don't make to do lists. But you know what I mean, I had a lot to do. And it was just really hectic. And so it really got me thinking about the fact that life is now, like it's happening right now. And the regular moments of our day to day lives are really what make it up. And yes, there are beautiful trips. There are memories we make that are really special, like the holidays. But besides those, we've got our day to day life that we are lucky to wake up and be alive. And I say this because as a physician, I have seen so many elderly folks, and they're really sick. And they just wish they had more time and they're towards the end of their lives. And it's tough. So while we're here and we're still young, we get to decide what kind of life we want to live. And that means that we learn to be present for the now and enjoy the journey. And I bring up this concept of the journey because it really is all about this journey. Life is a process. It's never going to be perfect. And it's all about just being here. And when things go wrong, learning the lessons and being there with the turbulence, knowing that it's going to end and then you come out on the other side. And you are all good. You're resilient. And I'm sure if you're listening to me and you're thinking, What the heck is she talking about? Like, I don't believe a word of this. I know you can reflect and think of times where you have bounced back and you were so strong. Because you are a kick ass female and you work you are a mom and we are tough, we are so much tougher and stronger than we give ourselves credit for. So back to the journey. It's really about being here, being present, enjoying the now, and not sweating what's to come. Because a lot of the time, what's to come isn't as ...

Welcome. Hello, how are you? I hope you are doing well today. I want to welcome you to today's podcast episode for all of you moms in demanding careers. You've worked so hard to build this incredible life for yourself. And you probably are wishing that you didn't feel not enough or you feel the mom guilt, or you have impostor syndrome. And you don't want to have to be worrying about the next thing all the time. And the problem is that most people are putting the needs of others in front of themselves or making decisions based off what other people think. All the hard work that you're doing is based on other people's needs more than your own, you're people pleasing. Or you don't realize that we can't control other people's opinions of ourselves, or what they're thinking. It's simply a waste of time and energy. So how do you find peace of mind and joy? You can try therapy, yoga, self help books. But the question is, how can you find the right therapist or even get to and from the yoga studio, you probably don't have enough time. So you can actually cultivate peace of mind with the practices that I talk about because of the ease, and there's just not a whole lot of time and energy required. And when most people think about making changes, they think that it takes a ton of time, or that you have to sit down for hours and hours to meditate to get peace of mind. Even though with the methods I'm talking about today, you don't have to do that. And you can totally learn to be present, feel peaceful, be connected. Why? Because I have streamlined implementable processes. So if you're wondering how you find peace of mind, balance, presence, let me show you in this episode. Today, I'm going to talk about the concept of not being enough or good enough. And I will tell you that you are enough, you are good enough. And Type A women, they hold themselves to perfect standards, which is totally impossible and only is going to lead us to being unhappy. And we're conditioned to do this at such a young age where we are trying to impress our teachers, we're people pleasing when we're really little. We're trying to get 100% on tests or getting straight A's in school. You get a little bit older, it's competitive. You apply to college, then maybe graduate school like medical school. In fact, I've actually seen that, apparently, I don't know this personally. But I've been told that it is worse to apply to private high schools than it even is college undergrad applications, which is crazy to me. And grades, test scores. That's a great way to get people spots in competitive universities, it's difficult to figure out without quantifying, but honestly, this really has created a society that expects perfection. And don't get me started on medical malpractice lawsuits. Because physicians are human beings, they're going to make mistakes, and yet they're expected to be perfect all the time. So some of the things that really contribute to our feelings of not enoughness is the high expectations that we place on ourselves, we're perfectionists. Type A people are just high achieving, competitive, and they set a standard for themselves that really is tough to maintain. And when they're not perfect, this leads to feelings of failure, which really isn't fun. And women in particular might feel extra pressure to not just succeed in their careers but also meet society's expectations of their personal lives, meaning being married, having kids, doing all the stuff at home, doing the cooking, doing the cleaning. Even in workplace dynamics, women often ...

Hello. Welcome to this week's episode of the empowering working moms podcast-real talk with Dr. Prianca Naik, that is me. I am a board certified internal medicine physician, but most importantly, the mother of two beautiful children and motherhood changed everything for me. And that's really what brought me to doing the deep work that I did to get here and then help others to do the same to really heal and do the work, heal from the inside out to create another generation that will be happier, healthier, our next generation, our kids that hopefully won't have to do as much healing because of this work. So this work that we're doing here, inside overcome burnout for good is so much more than just ditching burnout and exhaustion, which it does, but truly having a ripple effect with our families. So many of my clients have better marriages and a better connection with their kids. And this ripples out, right, but also it will have a generational ripple effect, too. So today, I'm going to talk about the follow up to last week's episode on healthy eating nutrition stuff. So now I'm going to talk about working out. So I'm really going to teach you about how to finally get that workout routine under your belt. Because I myself hated exercising for the majority of my life. And then really, since my son was born, I've had a consistent workout routine for almost six years, even though most of my life I hated it. And what most people do is really they're following society's standard of success personally and in their career, instead of really focusing on what would make them happy, or you're putting the needs of others above your own, putting yourself last. And all the hard work you're doing is based on other people. And here's what happens if you're doing that. You're feeling exhausted, depleted, you're giving way too much at work and at home, nothing to yourself, you're in survival mode, and really just not doing what you want to be doing. Like working out, for example. And there are so many ways to figure out how to get exercise going. But I'm going to give you my best way in this episode, I don't want to overwhelm you, so that you're finally getting time yourself to work out. So you have more joy more presents, you're gonna get the mental health benefits, peace of mind, and really feel better. So before I get into strategies and how you're going to get more exercise into your life, I want to talk about the benefits of exercising, which includes increasing longevity, really healthy aging, because exercise is associated with a decrease in mortality. So consistent exercise shows an increased lifespan and a lower risk of dying from age related diseases, which is awesome, right? That's what we want. And it really promotes healthy aging by maintaining physical function and really delaying the onset of chronic diseases. And in fact, large observational studies suggest that regular exercise reduces risk of disease specific mortalities for most people, men and women, a wide variety of age ranges. And this is really seen across the board, different ethnicities, different income levels, different geographic settings, it is totally the same where physical activity is associated with lower risk of mortality. So if that's not a reason to get your butt in the gym and exercising, I don't know what it is. Also exercise enhances muscle strength and endurance because working out stimulates muscle protein synthesis, so creating proteins, leading to more muscle strength and endurance which is so important for just daily living as you get older. It also ...

Well, hello there, welcome to the empowering working moms podcast. I am so glad to have you here listening with me today, I want to talk about something that is like a pretty hot topic, I think amongst working moms, which is nutrition and healthy eating habits if you want to lose weight or maintain your weight, and it just gets harder as we get older. So a lot of people think that by like dieting, and following strict diets, that's the best way to lose weight. But if that were true, then everyone who's on a diet would be losing weight. And we just know that's not the case. Sometimes you can watch what you eat, and you feel like the scale isn't moving. So a lot of mistakes that people make with dieting is that they have like an all or nothing attitude, they maybe follow something really strict, and then they throw their hands up in the air about the diet. They treat it as like super black and white or good or bad. Certain foods or being really rigid, which I think can be really overwhelming and exasperate the issue. And then oftentimes, a lot of people, I think don't take into account liquids, or even alcohol is high in calories, including a glass of wine with dinner, let's say. And so these are some of the mistakes that people make when they're trying to lose weight or maintain their weight. And really, the solution to this is learning to cultivate and embody a way of life that is sustainable and doable. The majority of the time, you don't have to be perfect by any means. But just something that you can practice about 75% of the time. And with that you can most certainly maintain your weight. And I say this as somebody, who I was an overweight child, and I was probably overweight by about 30 pounds in middle school, and I yo yo dieted as a teenager, and my weight really fluctuated, probably until I hit medical school. And then I really started learning more about nutrition and my body and how to eat properly and was able to live that way more than just following diets and restricting for a short period of time. And I would say I've maintained relatively the same weight for about maybe like 20 years now. So I want to share with you everything that I've learned. And with my medical background and my own personal experience, I'm going to teach you today about how to really maintain your weight, or even lose weight without totally feeling restricted, and in a more manageable, sustainable way. So I'm going to talk about three of my favorite ways of eating. And I'll be honest with you that I play around with all three of these. And I don't necessarily do one all the time. I more or less follow one or three of these methods several days a week. And then often on the weekends on Saturdays or Sundays or if I'm going out to eat, I indulge more. So the first way of life that you can do to lose weight or to maintain your weight. Or also just if you go on vacation, or you have a few days where you're eating and drinking poorly. And you want to do a reset, one of the best things to do is an intermittent fast. So this is really just really an idea of getting your body into fasting. And so the best way to do this is to fast for 16 hours and then eat during an eight hour window. So you can do this for let's say five days. And then for a couple days, you don't necessarily have to follow this. So you can also start slow and really just do this for 12 hours to start. So let's say you stop eating at 8pm. And then you go to bed at 10. You wake up at 6am. For the first two hours, ...

Hello, thank you for being here and listening to this podcast today. I am so grateful to have you here. If you're new to this podcast, welcome. And thanks for joining. If you are a faithful listener, I so appreciate that you're listening. And if you can, I would love it if you would drop a review of this podcast. And let me know what you think because it's so helpful. And it will help reach others, so they get the stories, the connection and the tools. So today, I'm going to talk about a couple of things that came up, really the power of human connection. But the reason I'm bringing up this topic today is because I'm in this entrepreneurial network, and a conversation came up during which people were talking about how certain relationships are meant to come to an end. And I found that so profound, because I think often we are taught that relationships are supposed to or should be a certain way. And that way really is lasting forever. So I'm really gonna dive into that topic today. And if you are a professional mom, you've got a successful career that you're proud of daily, but you're filled with guilt, because you're just not showing up for your family in the way that you want. Or you just can't be present for the moments that matter. And your brain is always spinning in a million directions, thinking about your to do lists at work and at home. If that sounds familiar to you, please check out my brand new on demand masterclass. How overdrive and career moms can ditch burnout and exhaustion without more self care in just five minutes a day, the link is in the show notes. Now, in terms of human connection, really, it's friendships and relationships that often connection makes us feel fulfilled, it boosts our happiness. And it's so important in our overall sense of well being. And where this really comes from is our sense of tribe, because tribe really refers to belonging to a social group of individuals, right, who have things in common, and they help each other. And this was so important, especially pre historically, humans were living in small nomadic groups relying on cooperation, working together, mutual support for survival. And so this was critical for survival. And if you take this evolutionary development, you can see how for us, we still want that same connection. The early tribes were closely connected by familial ties, and hunting and gathering and protecting each other from threats. And now that we don't need to be we can go to the grocery store for our food. And it's not quite the same, we still require that connection. So I bring this up, just so that you know that this is why we crave connection. But on the other hand, we've also been sold and told the idea that a lot of relationships have to last forever. For example, marriage is supposed to be forever. You're supposed to get along with your family. You're supposed to get along with your mom and dad. You're supposed to get along with your sibling. You're supposed to have friendships that lasts forever. And that is wonderful, right, when it works out. There are two people that create all relationships. And sometimes relationships just cannot last forever. Sometimes they are meant to be in your life for a certain amount of time. And I want to talk about that today. Because I feel like that can take the pressure off and give us tremendous relief when our relationships don't live up to society's standards. Because these standards are what cause us suffering because we believe that we should be doing things a certain way. We believe that if our marriage ends or if a ...

Welcome. Welcome to the empowering working moms podcast real talk with Dr. Prianca Naik, that is me, your podcast host, I'm so glad you're tuning in today.   I'm recording this a little bit after Valentine's Day, which was literally one of my favorite Valentine's in such a long time. And it got me thinking about how important this work is, and just how loving ourselves is one of the keys to a peaceful, happy life. And by loving ourselves, we set an awesome example for our children to love themselves too.   And I was thinking about really what love is, and how love in its purest, truest form, is simply unconditional. And if you are not sure of what love is, I encourage you to really think about how your children behave towards you, especially if they're young.   And that is love in its purest form. Your kids love you just for being you. And there's no rhyme or reason to it. And it is the most beautiful thing. And so today I'm about to talk about the concept of letting go. Because most people have been following society's standard of success personally and professionally, instead of asking themselves, what would make them happy.   Or a lot of working moms, whether you're working hard in your career, or even working hard at home, you're always putting the needs of other people in front of your own. So like the hard work that you're doing is based off other people's perceptions and needs more than what you want. And here's what happens if that's what you're doing.   You're going to feel exhausted not getting enough sleep, too much work at home and too much work at work, you're going to feel depleted. Because you're giving at work, you're giving at home, and then you feel like you have nothing left to give. Or even if you are in survival mode, where one day bleeds into the next. I call it the daily grind dread cycle where every day is just like Groundhog's Day.   And you just can't tell the difference between days, especially during the week, and you just want to get through it. Or even having no time where you're busy all the time, over extended. And that just leaves you feeling depressed and unfulfilled.   And so there are really five ways of getting out of this and getting out of burnout and exhaustion. And I'm going to actually give you one of my favorite ways today. So that you don't get overwhelmed I can't  teach you everything inside my program.   But you will be able to be more present with your family and kids and have a better connection with them. Really cultivate more peace of mind get better work life balance, and even hours back each week of your time and your energy. So to truly understand the crux of letting go,  we need to understand that it's not really just letting go of physical things like decluttering or the Marie Kondo method.   It's about letting go of the mental load and emotional weight that we feel day to day because we've got that to do list that really causes us so much grief at work, at home. And the thing about the to do list and I have previous episodes on what to do regarding the to do list, but the to do list is never ending and it always has more stuff piling on. So it's not satisfying.   And frankly, most of us are type A enough that if you let the to do list go, you'll see that you're gonna get everything done anyway. So we find ourselves just overwhelmed with obligations, expectations, and a lot of them we create ourselves, struggling to maintain that balance. So letting go really allows us to free up mental space, prioritize our well being, and get our ...

Hello there. Thank you so much. I'm so glad to have you here today. Welcome to this podcast, empowering working moms real talk with Dr. Prianca Naik.   I will say that February in the northeast, it's a time for realizing that spring is around the corner and the cold days are going to leave us relatively soon. We're not so much in the dead of winter anymore. And I noticed that it got dark a little bit later yesterday. So I was really pumped about that. The Long Dark days can be really kind of tough.   So I'm sure you as a working mom in a demanding career, I'm guessing you've been told that self care is the absolute answer and antidote to burnout and exhaustion. But what most people never realize is that so many moms, in demanding careers are getting mani pedis, they're still exhausted.   And you make the time to get the massage and it does not work. And if that happens, what is going to happen to you? What's going to happen your exhaustion? Is self care really the answer? Well, no. It's really being aware of the problem and deciding to do the work, the work to heal. Instead of bandaiding like self care.   In my coaching program overcome burnout for good. I teach clients to heal from the inside out using my tools that are really backed by my experience as a medical doctor, a mom, I have my master's degree in neuroscience too.   So I've used all of this background and information to develop my processes, helping so many moms to find peace of mind and balance, to ditch exhaustion and burnout once and for all. Now book a call with me PriancaNaikMDcoaching.as.me, the link is in the show notes, to find out if you are someone that I can help too.   And today I want to talk about really our relationship to motherhood. And I had this feeling, I had come back from a trip and I just felt thrown back in to the daily grind. And there's what I call the daily grind dread, which so many moms are trapped in where they're just dreading the day. And they get out of bed, their alarm goes off, they're dragging themselves out. And then it's work, work, work, work work, they come home. And then it's more work and more stuff to do in the to do list. And it's just totally exhausting.   Now, I never feel the daily grind tread because of my processes. But I will say that when I'm not with my kids, I miss them. And they're top of mind, their safety and their well being. And when I am with them, I feel a lot of pressure to spend a lot of time with them because there's that saying that the days are long, but the years are short. And it's so true.   So you know, I realized that the next thing I know, they're going to be off to college and ditching me and even before that, they're not going to want to hang out with me anymore. And this time is so so precious. And as I was ending my carefree time, and it was back to my regular scheduled programming.   Meaning my job, my older one is in private school and figuring out when the deadline is for that and tuition and all these things. His camp, I think I pretty much got done, but there are a couple things lingering with that and just those kinds of things. And then also, of course, I love being with my kids.   But that's what brings me to the topic of today. Which is how being a mom is the most important job that we will really ever have. And today I'm going to talk about my own ...
