Balancing multiple aspects of life, like medicine, family, personal time, exercise, and travel, is indeed a challenge, especially as women. In the past, I felt pressured to do everything by myself, fearing that asking for help would be seen as a sign of weakness. It took me some time to realize that I also matter and that taking care of myself is essential. Learning to ask for help, building a support system, and delegating tasks, such as using services like Instacart, hiring people to help clean the house, or getting assistance with laundry, have been vital steps in achieving balance and prioritizing self-care. Remember, you can achieve balance too, but you can’t do it all alone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness!
