Pregnancy and the first year of motherhood are hard enough, but doing it while caring for patients, managing procedures, and answering pages? That’s next-level strength.


This isn’t just about balancing schedules. It’s about redefining success, setting boundaries, and finding grace in the chaos. It’s about pumping between hospital rounds, surviving night shifts with a newborn at home, and learning that “self-care” isn’t selfish, it’s survival.


If you’ve ever wondered:

  • How do I manage nausea during a 12-hour shift?
  • What’s the reality of postpartum recovery when your job requires stamina and precision?
  • How do I handle mom guilt when my pager goes off during bedtime?

…then you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who we wrote this for.


✨ Coming Soon: The second book in “A Working Mom Series"—Navigating Pregnancy Through Baby’s First Year as a Working Mom in Medicine.


Because you deserve honesty, humor, and practical strategies for every stage, from that positive test to baby’s first birthday.


Follow along for sneak peeks, real-life tips, and a roadmap for thriving in both roles. Mama, you’ve got this!!

Because You Are Balancing More Than Most, And You Deserve The Support!




If you’ve been wondering why The Working Mom has gone radio silent, here’s the truth: we’ve both been writing AND reinventing our individual selves. Adrienne continues to compete internationally in Ballroom dance and is soon to redefine herself as the founder of The Towsen Clinic. Lisa is moving into Medicare consulting, partnering with major health systems to interpret new Medicare regulations, streamline processes, and help organizations adapt quickly without compromising patient care, while at the same time passing the stepwise Court of Master Sommelier examinations, and crawling her way back to the marathon running circuit. BUT, something else HUGE remains behind the scenes....


While the feed has been quiet, the keyboards have been anything but. For months, we’ve been writing, editing, and perfecting content that speaks directly to YOU, the working moms who juggle careers, family, and everything in between. And now, we’re thrilled to share what’s next:


Six brand-new books are coming your way, and they will be on shelves at Barnes & Noble by the end of 2026!


This isn’t just a book launch. It’s a movement. Each title is designed to empower, encourage, and equip you through every stage of motherhood while thriving in your professional life. From pregnancy to postpartum, and toddler chaos to teenage drama, these books are packed with real talk, practical strategies, and a dose of humor that only a working mom can appreciate.


We’ve poured our hearts into creating resources that feel like a friend, a mentor, and a cheerleader all in one. Because you deserve guidance that understands your world, the late nights, the early mornings, and the endless balancing act.


Stay tuned for sneak peeks, launch dates, and exclusive giveaways. The quiet is over. Big things are coming, and we can’t wait to share them with you. ♥ ♥


Happy Holidays!! Follow us for updates and be the first to know when the series drops!

Countdown to our Book Launch! 

Some days, you feel like a superhero balancing patient care, deadlines, and parenting wins like you were born for this. Other days? You're just trying to remember where you put your coffee, and praying no one notices you have mismatched Danskos on. This journey of being a working mom in healthcare is messy, exhausting, and absolutely worth it.

The Challenges:
🔥 Leaving home before the sun rises, knowing you won’t be the one to do morning snuggles. 
🔥 Trying to be fully present for patients, even when your toddler did not sleep the night before. 
🔥 The guilt—oh, the never-ending guilt—when work takes priority and you miss a milestone. 
🔥 Mastering the art of speed-charting because daycare pickup is non-negotiable. 

The Wins (Because We Need to Celebrate More!): 
🌟 Using your skills to heal and help people, while still being the glue that holds your family together. 
🌟 Watching your child learn strength, compassion, and resilience from seeing you work hard. 
🌟 Finding a community of incredible, driven moms who remind you that you are not alone.
🌟 Finally, learning that success doesn’t mean doing it all perfectly, but doing the best you can, one day at a time.

Some days, I feel on top of the world. Some days, I just survive- but both days matter. 

And that’s exactly why our upcoming book, Navigating the Lifecycle of Working Moms in Healthcare, exists—to help working moms in medicine thrive, despite the madness.

If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, exhausted, or questioning how to make this work, this book is for you.

To all the working moms out there, especially in healthcare: You are doing enough. You are more than enough. 💛 

What’s the biggest challenge (or win!) you’ve had as a working mom? Let’s remind each other we’re not alone in this. 

With Much Love, 
~Lisa.
