In this special Mother’s Day episode of the Doctor’s Eyes Only® podcast, Vestia CEO Lauren Oschman sits down with emergency medicine physician and Bluebird MD founder Dr. Jessica Rosen for a candid conversation about what it actually looks like to build a meaningful career in medicine while raising a family.
They talk through the realities many women physicians quietly navigate every day. The pressure to succeed professionally while also trying to be the kind of parent they want to be, the exhaustion that comes with constantly shifting schedules, the emotional weight of carrying the “mental load” at home, and the challenge of finding space for yourself somewhere in the middle of it all.
Jessica shares her journey through emergency medicine, practicing in a two-physician household, raising children during demanding seasons of training and practice, and eventually creating a different kind of career through the launch of Bluebird MD. Along the way, the conversation explores how motherhood changes the way many physicians think about ambition, time, success, and what a sustainable career in medicine actually requires.
