Learning To Balance And Choose Priorities with Dr. Nothando Wohlgeschaffen

Shelagh Cummins / Dr. Nothando Wohlgeschaffen Episode 172

“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. 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.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌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”
  • Five things that will help you prevent and/or move past burnout

Dr. Nothando Wohlgeschaffen is a family doctor and general life coach for other women professionals. She helps women whose job it is to show up for other people also show up for themselves. Her clients come to her for relationship, business, and career coaching. They leave with mastery level boundaries and 40 more hours a month just for themselves.
