Learning To Balance And Choose Priorities with Dr. Nothando Wohlgeschaffen
“Creating an identity for yourself outside of work or outside of home is often the work that needs to be done before we can actually create the businesses that we want.”
- Dr. Nothando Wohlgeschaffen
When it comes to balancing career and home, most women bump up against challenges in prioritizing what’s most important to them. My guest today, Dr. Nothando Wohlgeschaffen is helping high performing women in the medical field to navigate these challenges, and at the same time is a practicing family physician serving underrepresented communities – all while preparing to become a new mother.
To say that she is an incredible inspiration is an understatement, and I think you’ll find that our conversation is full of actionable tools that will help you assess what is most important in your life, and where you want to prioritize your time.
I know you’ll get a lot out of our conversation!
In this episode of the Road to Seven podcast, you’ll discover:
Balancing the expectations of entrepreneurship, career, motherhood and self through intentionality
How to make choices to prioritize what is important to you, so that you can “have it all”
