The Nocturnists · Lost & Found with Meghan Rothenberger, MD · 15 Feb 2024 podcast

And what would you look like as a physician?

You would be probably a happier person.

And I think you would give a gift to the world that we're not seeing right now.

at everything I was trying to do.

And then I think I had this guilt around this just popped into my head.

You know, I felt guilty about adopting a second dog.

Like, why would I get a second dog when I already had a dog I couldn't take care of?

But I just realized I think I also had a lot of guilt about being a mother and then trying to have another child.

And so I think there was a lot of shame about that.

That, like, who are you if you don't have the time and energy to be the kind of parent you want to be?

whether to your human child or your dog child, why are you trying to bring more of those beings into your life?

And so that was shameful.

And then it was shameful that I did it and I did a bad job of it, in terms of my dogs at least, a very bad job of it because I lost my dog and everybody in my neighborhood knew.

Yeah.

evolved way more slowly than I'd like to admit.

I think the level of discomfort that I had did prompt me to think like, okay, I need to do things differently.

The first thing that I did do was rehome the dog, which was painful and awful, but it needed to happen.

So that happened actually not too much longer after.

But from a career perspective, it took me a long time.

I think actually I ended up getting pregnant with my twins, I think about a year after this.
