Bonus points if you’re a toddler mom in healthcare.

The juggle, the chaos, the exhaustion is next level.

And what’s even harder is it seems like all the other IG moms have great strategies for you to do XYZ “just like them” …. But you aren’t living that life.

Welcome to the page that is also living that struggle, sees your reality and is clapping LOUDLY for you!

Here are some of my favorite accounts of real working moms in the trenches -

YOU CAN DO THIS!

If you started sharing on social media, what would you want to share about?

I’m just a regular mom that decided to go for it!

Get those heels picture perfect 👇🏼

Cracked heels aren’t actually dry… they’re too thick.

Most foot creams just sit on top of the skin — but heel skin is built-up dead skin that can’t stretch when you walk.
So it splits.

That’s why pedicures help for a week… and then it comes right back.

✨ The fix: urea cream

Urea softens AND dissolves the excess skin so your heels can move normally again — not just feel moisturized for a few hours.

How to use it:
• After shower at night
• Apply to heels (20–40% strength)
• Put on socks
• Repeat for 1–2 weeks

You’ll notice your heels stop catching on sheets within days 👣

Save this for sandal season — your future feet will thank you.

AI + Medicine

Whether you are a provider or a patient, what are your thoughts?

Benadryl is not the gold standard allergy medication anymore 👏🏼

I know it’s what most of us grew up taking.
I know it’s what our parents still recommend.
But medicine evolves — and so should we.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) crosses into the brain, causes sedation (or hyperactivity in kids), only lasts a few hours, and carries anticholinergic side effects that we just don’t love for routine use — especially during an entire allergy season.

For seasonal allergies, we now have:
• Longer-acting options
• Better symptom control
• Less brain fog
• Safer side effect profiles

Zyrtec, Claritin, Xyzal , Allegra, and nasal steroid sprays are usually much smarter first-line choices.

Benadryl still has a role — hives, severe allergic reactions — but for everyday pollen misery? We can do better.

Save this for peak allergy season 🌸🤧
And send it to the friend who still keeps the pink bottle in their purse.

I repeat this to myself daily and it has taken a lot of the pressure off of making my charts perfect.

Thanks .wilsonfnp

After all, the only people to read them, are the insurance companies 🤦🏻‍♀️ and they certainly aren’t at the top of my list of “favorite people”

What’s the best advice you’ve been given while working in healthcare?

Because why not!?

I get to provide additional information, connect with so many cool people including other amazing providers and it makes a pretty sweet “side hustle”.

You probably don’t need more willpower —
you need more fiber.

Aim for 25–35g per day (most Americans get ~15g).

Start slow. Add water. Your gut will thank you

My favorite food sources:
Raspberries & blackberries
• Avocado
• Oats
• Sweet potatoes (skin on)
• Popcorn (air popped)
• Whole grain sourdough or sprouted bread
• Lentils
• Black beans
• Chickpeas
• Edamame
• Chia seeds
• Flaxseed meal

Best Fiber Supplements (least bloating → most effective)

1️⃣ Psyllium husk (gold standard)
– improves fullness + cholesterol + glucose
– start 1 tsp daily → increase slowly

2️⃣ Partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG / Sunfiber)
– best tolerated for IBS/bloating
– mixes completely clear

3️⃣ Acacia fiber
– very gentle prebiotic
– great for sensitive stomachs

And if you were wondering, yes, I do believe that there is a place for religion in medicine. In fact, I would never want them to be separated.
