11. Mental Health, Resilience, & Marriage with Therapist Caleb Meyers

11. Mental Health, Resilience, & Marriage with Therapist Caleb Meyers

Let's talk about the things everyone struggles with—but rarely talk about. In this episode, therapist Caleb Meyers joins us for an honest conversation about mental health, impostor syndrome, resilience, and marriage during medical training. You'll also hear my husband, Ethan, share his own experiences navigating the pressures of medical school and the lessons he's learned about building resilience. Thriving doesn't happen by accident—it happens through intentionality, support, and choosing to grow together. Content note: This episode includes discussion on suicide and mental health. If these topics are distressing, please listen with care and at your own pace!

10. Personal Development with Elise Fox

As medical spouses, we spend a lot of time supporting our partner’s dreams and helping them succeed through the demands of training. While that support is important, it’s also important to remember that we have goals, interests, and talents of our own. Making space for personal growth isn’t selfish—it’s an important part of thriving during this journey. I would love to hear from our listeners on what outlets have helped them through this season! Give us an idea in the comments below! Hopefully that could give someone else an idea that may help them.  Follow along on Instagram for more info @WhiteCoatLife_ThrivingWife

9. Babies, Books, & Burnout with Jessica Eddington

Is there ever a perfect time to have a baby during medical school? How do you support each other when you're both running on empty? And what does it actually look like to thrive in the middle of the chaos? In this episode, Jessica shares her experience raising two little girls while supporting her husband through medical school. We talk about expectations versus reality, sleepless nights, burnout, marriage, faith, and the small things that have helped them navigate some of the craziest seasons of life. If you're a medical spouse, parent, or simply walking through a demanding season, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone and that you can thrive.

7. Is Med School Right for Me? Exploring Other Options with Kendra Kynaston

If you’ve ever found yourself on the fence about applying to medical school, this episode is for you. Medical school is incredibly demanding, and having a strong “why” is what carries you through the hard seasons. If medicine is truly your passion, you absolutely can do it! But there are also so many other meaningful careers in healthcare where you can make a lasting difference in people’s lives. In this episode, I’m joined by Kendra Kynaston, who recently finished Physical Therapy school, while her husband, Taylor, just completed dental school. Together, we explore a variety of healthcare career paths worth considering and talk honestly about the realities of medical training, lifestyle, and purpose. My hope is that this conversation either strengthens your resolve in pursuing medical school or opens your eyes to other fulfilling options within the medical field. So grab your chocolate, get cozy on the couch (or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts), and join us for the conversation!
