This week on The Backtable Podcast.
The main take home messages is that it ain't easy and there's not going to be this one size fits all. You really need to be flexible. You need to find what do you love, what matters most to you and where does your time need to go and really build your life around that. You know, we got to ask lots of questions and communicate with your partner. Communicate with your partner often. Touch base.
Still make that time for each other. And really build your own village. Outsource. Ask for help where you need it. And don't give up because it does get easier. And as you all mentioned, there's seasons and there's always summer after winter. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Backtable podcast, your source for all things urology.
