Dr. Sandra Fernandes, MD spent years chasing the version of success she thought she was supposed to live. She worked nonstop, pushed through exhaustion, and convinced herself that being overwhelmed was just part of being a doctor and a mom. But when she finally became pregnant after her own struggles with fertility, she faced a painful truth. She was too busy, too stressed, and too depleted to enjoy the very baby she had prayed for.
In this raw and honest conversation, Dr. Fernandes opens up about losing her identity in medicine, burning out twice, and the moment that forced her to reevaluate everything she believed about achievement, motherhood, and worth. Her story is a powerful reminder that stress does not have to be your normal and that finding your way back to yourself is not only possible but necessary.
