Doctor, Mummy, and Everything in Between

Being a mother of two little girls is the most beautiful, chaotic, grounding experience of my life. And somehow, it’s also the perfect balance (or imbalance!) to the other part of me — the doctor who spends mornings in the biggest emergency department in the Costa del Sol, treating everything from chest pains to knee pain.

My days start early. Hospital shoes on. White coat ready. Head in emergency mode.

It’s fast, it’s intense, it’s full of adrenaline — and yes, sometimes full of heartache. But it’s also where I’ve learned what resilience, quick decisions, and deep compassion really mean.

Then comes the second shift: my private consultations. Calm, more personal. A space where I can take my time, listen to patients in their own language — English, Polish, Spanish — and truly connect. Many are tourists, others are local expats, some are new mums with the same tired eyes I see in my mirror.

And then… comes the real marathon.

The school pickups. The dance class bags forgotten. Dinner negotiations. Storytime snuggles (that sometimes end with me asleep before them).

This is the part no one sees — but the part that defines me the most.

💬 “You can’t do it all,” they say.

I smile — because every mum knows: we do it anyway.

This blog is for every working mum who’s been told she’s “too ambitious,” “too emotional,” or “too tired.”

Yes, we are all those things. And we’re doing it anyway.

I want to share with you not just medical advice, but the behind-the-scenes of being a doctor and a mum. Because it’s not always pretty, but it’s always real.

🌿 From Me to You

Whether you're a patient, a fellow parent, or someone balancing your own version of chaos — I see you. And I’m glad you’re here.
