From Resistance to Embrace: A Physician Mom's Instagram Mindset Shift

August 14, 2024

As physician moms, we're masters of many things – but social media? That's often a different story. In this week's eye-opening episode of ✨Stethoscopes and Strollers✨, I'm getting vulnerable about my own struggles with Instagram and the powerful mindset shift that's changing everything.

The Mindset Matters

We've all heard about positive thinking, but did you know that your specific self-talk can literally shape your reality? Those "I am" statements aren't just words – they're programming for your subconscious. When we say things like "I can't grow on Instagram," we're setting ourselves up for exactly that outcome.

My Social Media Journey

I'll be honest – I've had a complicated relationship with social media. While I found quick success on TikTok with my OBGYN education content, Instagram felt like an entirely different beast. I convinced myself that I didn't have the right personality or content for the platform. And guess what? That belief became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The Aha Moment

It wasn't until recently that I realized how my negative self-talk about Instagram was holding me back. By constantly reinforcing the idea that I couldn't succeed on the platform, I was sabotaging my own efforts before I even began.

The Mindset Shift Challenge

So, I'm making a public commitment to change my mindset. Starting now, I'm choosing to embrace Instagram, to believe in my ability to grow on the platform, and to consistently create content that resonates with you – my amazing community of physician moms.

Your Turn: Examine Your Limiting Beliefs

What limiting beliefs are holding you back in your life or career? Whether it's about social media, parenting, or your professional goals, I challenge you to identify those negative self-statements and consciously replace them with positive affirmations.

Remember, what you focus on expands. By shifting your mindset and aligning your words with your desires, you're setting the stage for growth and success.
