S3E8: Preparing for Maternity Leave in Private Practice with Dr. Pauline Yeghnazar Peck, MA, MMFT, PhD

On today’s episode of the Flourishing Therapreneur, we are joined by Dr. Pauline Peck.

 

This episode is for you if you are:

 

• Frustrated by the lack of information and resources available for planning for maternity leave in private practice
• Curious about creating spaciousness for pregnancy and postpartum work in your practice
• Interested in tangible things you can do during pregnancy to prepare for your maternity leave and postpartum time period 
• Wondering how Claire and Pauline are doing things differently in their practices with their second pregnancies
• And committed to flexibility and re-entering your private practice gently after your maternity leave.

 

I had an absolute blast sitting down with Pauline to dig into pregnancy and maternity leave as therapists in private practice. If you have been in this situation, currently are planning for maternity leave, or plan to someday take maternity leave from your private practice, you probably know that there are not a lot of resources or guidance out there. I have some good news: there is a lot of helpful information in this episode! Pauline and I both share how we prepared for and returned from maternity leave with our first children, as well as what we are planning and doing differently during our second pregnancies. We chat extensively about taking care of yourself during your pregnancy to help your postpartum transition go smoother in your private practice, and also provide suggestions for plans you can make now to create passive income during your maternity leave. We as therapists AND mothers need to take care of ourselves just as we have been trained to take care of our clients, and I know this valuable conversation with Pauline will not stop here!
