Before diving into deeper discussions on self-care and well-being, Kendra and Katie hit pause to reflect, reconnect, and set the stage for what's ahead. This short and heartfelt episode is both a life update and a behind-the-scenes peek into the podcast’s creation.

You’ll hear:

• A personal check-in with each host, including a high school graduation and a wild family camping story involving cliffside ropes and toddler acrobatics.

• The surprising truth: This is their first podcast! They're learning as they go—and inviting you along for the ride.

• Why this episode exists: Feedback from early listeners showed that a little orientation was needed before diving into the core self-care content.

• What’s coming up next: A rhythm of episodes that blend coaching insights, real-life stories, and practical strategies to help you stay grounded and whole in the physician spouse journey.

• A reminder that it’s okay to do things messy and imperfectly—growth happens in the trying.

• Validation that asking for help early, not just when you’re drowning, can change everything.

• A preview of the upcoming self-care series: foundational wellness habits like hydration, nutrition, sleep, movement, and hygiene.

• Encouragement to be an active participant in your own life, even when circumstances are intense.
