How do you balance multiple passions without getting overwhelmed?
It’s a constant practice.
I’m very familiar with this conflict, and so is my guest on the most recent Lean Out Podcast, Dr. Mary Wilde. Mary is an integrative pediatrician and owner of Imagine Pediatrics Behavioral Health and Wellness in St. George, UT.
Mary’s a mother to eight sons (!). She’s been in practice for well over a decade, but six years ago she departed from the traditional pediatrician primary care role to start her own consultative practice specializing in behavioral health. She’s created several online programs for kids, a book, a podcast, and a TedX talk. We didn’t even get into all these accomplishments in the episode, which is fine, because that’s not what she’s about.
What Mary is about: living a balanced, fulfilling life while pursuing multiple passions. Her most recent passion is creating retreats for physicians; after conducting several of them for parents on the topic of resilience, she realized how much she wanted to share her knowledge and experience with physician colleagues. She’s in an ideal location for retreats: the beautiful red rocks of the St. George area.
I will be at Mary’s upcoming REVITALIZE: Physician Renewal Retreat, and I’d like to personally invite all you physicians to attend with us! Come hang out with me and Mary IRL March 20-22, 2025: learn restorative techniques for better balance, practice yoga, and hike in the beautiful Zion wilderness! If you’ve been wanting to visit Zion, this is a great opportunity. I’d love to meet you!
