Hey doctors. You're listening to the Micropractice Mama Podcast, a podcast for women physicians who are striving to practice primary care sustainably and creatively with autonomy, authenticity, and joy. I'm your host, Sonya Singh, internist, PCP, and proud mother of two human babies, one for a baby, and one life-changing micro practice. I wanna empower you to push past whatever is holding you back and make the leap to launching a practice. That aligns with your values and priorities, and finally allows you to take care of your patients, your family, and yourself in the ways that you want and deserve. Are you ready to make the leap? Let's do it. Hey doctors, it's me. I'm alive. I'm back. I honestly feel a little weird and self-conscious recording because I just haven't done it for so long. So excuse me. If I am a little bit rusty and stumbling over my words because I feel like I'm doing this for the first time. I just haven't done it in so long. Thank you for your patience with me. While I took a little break, I went to California for two vacations of 10 days each. So I spent almost a month there. My kids are out of school for the summer. We've been on a summer school schedule and doing lots of stuff with them. But yeah, basically I've just been taking a little break from the Micropractice mama world, giving myself a breather. But I'm back and I'm calling this season three. I don't really feel like I have a clear definition of when a season end since. Starts, but I've decided this is the beginning of season three. In this quick episode, I wanted to give you a preview of what some of the things I'm gonna cover in this next season. Some, a preview of some of the episodes I have in store. And then I wanted to share a few updates and important announcements. So I'll start with, I'll start with the fun updates. I have a new cohort of students since the last webinar, including. Our first MICROPRACTICE data who I'm so excited about I used to say in the recorded intro before every episode, make it clear that even though this is called Micropractice Mama, it is really open to everyone. It's been my passion to speak specifically to physician mothers because I think they face unique challenges, unfortunately, because of. A variety of cultural and societal forces, and I think that they are uniquely challenged but also uniquely able to benefit from this practice model. And so I wanted to speak. Directly to that audience and encourage them. But I think the information I share is applicable to a lot of different people and can be helpful to a lot of different people. And I'm so happy and open to having, non women, non mothers, anyone of any identity or orientation. Or, parent or non-parent being in the course. And I've had people who do not have children in the course, but now we have our first MICROPRACTICE data. So I'm so happy for him for joining. He's hopefully opening his practice in the fall. I actually have, I think we have three or four practices opening in the fall, so it's gonna be a fun end of 20, 25. And I'm really looking forward to what's in store for this whole community. Okay. Big announcement. Is I have scheduled my next webinar, so this will be the next free webinar, which will be followed by the course being on sale for one week. Originally, I had thought about doing this in October. I've decided now to do it September. I think that makes a little bit more sense with my schedule. I'm going on a girls trip in the middle of September and I thought, wouldn't it be nice if I had this all done by that trip? So I've decided to do the next webinar September 10th, which is a Wednesday at 8:00 PM Central time on Zoom. So that is completely free, no strings attached. I will put the registration link. In the, show notes, so you can reserve a spot and then just have it on your calendar and you won't forget the topic of the webinar. I'm gonna go back to the original webinar, which was making the leap deciding if Micropractice is right for you. Honestly, just gonna play the hits. I feel like that is a good intro. I think when people don't have that intro and they show up to one of the other webinars, there's a lot to catch up on. So I think I'm just gonna alternate between doing that one and then one that's for people who are maybe a little bit deeper into this or a little farther along, or maybe going back to the, how to build your brand or something. But anyway, it's going to be an intro to micro practice, pros and cons of the practice model, basics of, what my flavor of the model is. An overview of what's in the course and some factors to consider to decide whether it's for you or not. So if you did attend my webinar last year around that time, it's gonna be pretty much the same content. You're obviously welcome to join again. But really this is for people who are just like entering the world of Micropractice and trying to figure out what it is and if it makes sense for them. Registration link will be in the show notes. So those are the big announcements. Oh, the other thing I wanted to share. So I've been trying to muster up the motivation to get in my closet and, start recording these episodes. And yesterday One of my micropractice mama. Sent me her a draft of her website, and I kid you not, it made me cry like I cried. It was just, there were parts of it that were so just touching and tender and personal and, I messaged her immediately, like I told her I was gonna give her feedback later and immediately I just started like Hammer texting her and was like, this, this is so moving. So you and I just, I was so excited to see somebody who was clearly taking guidance and inspiration from me, but was really building something that was her own and that sounded like her and felt like her. And, I just think when you find that spot where. Something is truly reflecting who you are in everything in the tone and the voice and the visuals and all of it. There's a magic that happens when you get to that point and she did it, so she's still tweaking it and working on it. That was a first draft, which she sent me, so I'm gonna give her some time to, to make some adjustments, but I am definitely gonna share her website with, the on the Micropractice memo in the newsletter. So anyway, if you're not signed up for the Micropractice memo, go ahead and sign up for that. Again, I'll put the link to sign up for that in the show notes. It's totally free. No strings attached. I send one email a week maybe, so there's stretches where I send nothing. So do not worry that you're gonna be spammed. And yeah, I'm gonna share it there just'cause I think she deserves a huge shout out. I think it's such a great example of how you can use a web presence to really communicate who you are and who, what your practice is, and what you value. And yeah. I'm just, I'm excited for other people to see it and how great it is. Okay. So those are all exciting updates. Now I have some personal slash professional, updates and I honestly, I was debating like whether I should talk about these or how much I should talk about these. But I think both of the things that I'm gonna share here they have happened to me mainly. Because I do DPC and Micropractice. I don't know that I would've been as prone to these things happening to me if I wasn't doing this practice model. When you hear about what these things are like, other people experience these who are not in DPC or Micropractice. So it's not, unique to that, but. It is somewhat relevant. So anyway, I thought I would share if you are somebody who's just I don't wanna hear about this lady's life, I just wanna hear concrete tips on how to start my practice, then you can skip towards the end where I'm gonna talk a little bit about a preview of the episodes that I have outlined and what I'm gonna cover in those. That. Probably is the last five minutes or something of the episode. So you can skip all of this, but if you're curious about what's been happening with me behind the curtain personally slash professionally I'm gonna, I'm gonna share a little bit about what that's been like. The big thing is I would say for the last six months or so, I've been struggling with my relationship with. Social media, but really more specifically like news and current events consumption. And I know I'm not the only one. I think there's a lot of people who have felt that way over the last six months. And the reason I say this is relevant specifically to Micropractice and DPC is because. I don't think I would actually even be on social media at all if I did not have a practice that I, made a public account to try to support and promote and market. And, that's really been my driving impetus to stay on social media and be present there. Prior to opening this practice, I really was not using social media at all. Like most of my close friends are not really using social media, It didn't have much of a place in my life until I started this practice. Obviously there's a lot of different ways that social media use can harm you. I think there's the social comparison as aspect, which I would say was relevant for me maybe when I was younger, like when I was in residency and I was seeing. People who I went to college with frolicking around the world and traveling and getting married and having babies, and I just felt like I was single and burned out and stuck. I feel like there was a component of that, but that has not been a big problem for me for I think a long time when I started my practice. I think I've mentioned this maybe in another episode or maybe in the course, but. When I started my practice and I started the professional account for my practice, I did have a period where sometimes I would be following other DPC docs and I would think why they posted that thing that I just didn't think was that great, and I got 50 likes on it. And why does my post only get five likes? I definitely had that self-doubt and that rattle rattled confidence. Sometimes in those early days, because those early days, you're just, you feel so vulnerable and you're really putting yourself out there. But I got over that, I, one thing I had done then, and it's still the case now for all my social media accounts, is like I hid the count. So on Instagram you can hide the, like count. So on my posts and on other people's posts, I can't see the number of likes. I just see so and so and so like this, but I can't, I guess I could click on it and see how long the list is, but I can't, I don't see a number. I found that helpful'cause my brain wasn't, focused on those numbers as much anymore. But also I think once the practice picked up, I learned very quickly that. The number of followers and the number of likes does not translate to your practice success. A lot of times, you've had a couple of things go viral and a lot of people come follow you. But there are people all over the world, other parts of the country, they're not actually people who are gonna join your practice. And so don't, do not be discouraged by the like or the follower count. It's not as relevant as you think it is. Anyway, so I had that phase that I feel like I got over. But in these last six months, it's really just been, for lack of a better word, doom scrolling and consumption of very negative outrage inducing content. And that being followed in my opinion by me not really doing anything. I, I didn't feel like the awareness or like the information I was gaining from social media was like helping me be more effective or helpful, or. Productive or I wasn't taking that knowledge and applying it to anything helpful, which made me feel like, gosh, this is really draining of my energy. And I'm sure a lot of you listening to this are. Also mothers, but after I had children things that I maybe would've not thought given as much weight or worry or thought to before I suddenly find to be so much more. Worrisome and concerning because I'm just thinking about how these decisions we're making now are changing the world that, my sons will grow up in. And, decisions that we're making now have such a big influence on what that world will look like. And I just found myself so dragged down by that. And I tried in a lot of different. Strategies to try to deal with this. I have app limits on all my, social media apps and my news apps and all of that. Everything turns off at 5:00 PM except for messages and spruce and email. But even then, sometimes I would just be blowing through. Like I would get a notification or something and then I would just blow through my app controls and keep using the app. Sometimes it was just during the day when, I had downtime, I would just be like, oh, I just lost an hour, doom scrolling on this one topic. And then at one point I thought, I'm gonna stop consuming this day-to-day news content and maybe I'll just focus on reading long form articles. And nonfiction stuff, because I got to the point where I couldn't just watch mindless reality tv, which I am really good at doing, but I just couldn't do it because I would start watching it and thinking this is so frivolous, bigger, important things are happening, and. I started reading nonfiction, which could sustain my attention'cause it felt relevant to what was going on, but not quite so acutely urgent and concerning. So I did that for a while. I was stress exercising for a while. I tried a bunch of different things. I actually, a fellow DPC colleague and I, Rebecca Barons. I think we were having similar experiences around that time and we were commiserating about how we just have thoughts and. Ideas about these things and it's just, we're on social media, we create content, but to really add, adequately debunk a lot of these things that we see it just, it's so time intensive and energy intensive. It's not easy to really do a good job debunking something and it's not easy to, to condense it into 90 seconds. And the platform is just. You have to try to get people's attention very quickly and sustain it and have it be 90 seconds. And that's not how my brain works. I don't think that's how her brain works. And that's really not how a lot of this information is done justice. So we thought maybe we do something. Maybe we channel all these feelings into doing something. And so we've been behind the scenes working on a separate podcast, which, we're not getting paid for as like totally a passion project. Exploring some of the big trends and concepts in health and wellness on social media. And I thought that would make me feel better. And initially the idea definitely made me feel better'cause I was like, alright, at least I'm channeling all these feelings into something more productive and helpful maybe, and a resource that other doctors can use. When their patients ask them about some of these topics and they have not had the time to fully grapple with them, but. In the process of working on those episodes, I have had to go deeper into this world and to look into content and trends that have not been much, have not been on my radar very much because I don't really engage with content like that. I'm not interested in that content, so it just doesn't show up for me. But it just made me realize how things that. I thought were, maybe a few fringe people or just a small sect of people who had some crazy ideas is not, it's actually a much bigger movement than I thought. And for a lot of you out there, I suspect that you are also living in an echo chamber like I usually do. And so you may not be fully. Grasping the extent to which there is a massive anti-science, anti-D doctor, anti medical establishment movement effort. But it is terrifying. We started working on the podcast. I feel like I got even more scared and nervous and started to feel hopeless about the future. And then on top of that over the July 4th weekend, we had the flooding in Central Texas and. Natural disasters happen all the time. And I almost felt guilty and weird about how much I felt affected by these floods because, literally children die of diarrhea, on a regular basis. And that not something I spend a lot of time thinking about, and then suddenly this happens, in central Texas, and it's I can't stop thinking about it, but. I did not know anyone very closely who was a victim of the floods, but there was one degree of separation from multiple people. So that weekend, I think it happened on the morning of the fourth. That weekend, my husband was working, I was home with the kids. I was just obsessively checking for updates the entire weekend, just oh my God, did they find somebody? Did they find them? Did they find? And by Monday morning, I remember I was, I opened up, Facebook or Instagram or whatever, and my algorithm was just serving me on the top of every single page. Some devastating, heartbreaking story about the floods. And then I think by that afternoon it was just serving me. Stories of terrible things that happen to children, like just any really sad, devastating story. And it was just always at the top. And I thought, okay, I've screwed up the algorithm. This is, I messed this up really good now by what I've done over the last 48 hours. I just need to step away from this. I cannot. This this is not leading me to a good place. So a few weeks ago I deleted the Facebook and Instagram apps from my phone. So I still have the accounts and they're, active but I just can't look at them on my phone. I can still access them from my laptop. Instagram is so clunky on a laptop, so I'm not making stories or anything'cause it's just not easy to use. But, I am still using Facebook for my laptops. Laptops. If somebody tags me or something I get notifications for all of these things, but I'm just trying not to have easy access to it on my phone, and I'm trying to take a little bit of a. Step back from those platforms. And, I struggled with that decision a little bit because, I think from a practice perspective, I'm full. I'm not trying to get more patients. I have a wait list. It's, I don't think I am adding much by being on social media in terms of growing my practice. For Micropractice Mama, I do think it's helpful for me to be present in some of the big, physician Facebook groups, because often people go on there asking for advice or asking about different practice models and what people's experience has been. And I like being able to respond to those. But I have to be frequently looking at the posts in these groups to even see posts that. I could, are relevant and that I could comment on. I think it's a lot of hours of, scrolling and looking and then, occasionally being able to provide some helpful information or making a connection with somebody there. But I think I'm willing to sacrifice that at this point for my mental health and for my own sanity. I I ask you actually to do me a favor, which is if you see a post or a question or something where you think that I might have a relevant answer, please feel free to tag me because I do get a notification when someone tags me. So I'm talking about, in those big groups like physician community or PMG or bad mom docs or private practice physicians, any of those where someone's asked. About micropractice or direct care, or how did you do X, Y, and Z? I'm always happy to try to answer those questions and give my 2 cents. But I may not see the posts now'cause I'm really trying not to look. So anyway, that was the first thing that I've been experiencing that I think I just, I don't think it would've happened to me to this extent if I was not. Present on social media for my practice. And so I do feel it's partially a hazard of this practice model. And I wanted to share in case that's felt, in case that's been somewhat of your experience either already doing this or if it's already been your experience, not even having done this. Just be aware that, once you delve into this world of social media, it's it's a very slippery kind of slope. Okay, so the other thing that happened, so literally I think a day or two after the whole flood situation and after I had, deleted my social media apps and was ah, yes, I feel like I can breathe. I'm feeling better. I walked into my office and I had a package to me from Amazon and I opened it and it had some American flag. Paraphernalia, it was kinda like a American flag banner. And I didn't order it. It was addressed specifically to me as Dr. Sonya Singh to my suite number. I can't describe it. It just, I had a visceral reaction to it. I just opened it and immediately had this anxious feeling wash over me. And I thought, is this someone trying to send me a message of some sort? I really try to refrain from posting anything overtly political anywhere really. But as I said, I've been, very entrenched in a lot of things that are going on right now, and I've. Shared my opinion on, I made a post encouraging people to get the MMR vaccine when the measles outbreak started. I've talked about reproductive rights. I respect people's preferred pronouns. Like I've said enough things that I'm sure people can deduce my politics. And I just thought, is there somebody out there who is trying to tell me that I am being un-American? Or that. I don't know. It was hard for me not to have feelings about it. And so that was I think two days after the, it was like the first week of, yeah, it was right after July 4th. So this was all kinda happening at the same time where I had already this dark spiral after the floods, and then I got this suspicious package and I had this feeling that day of just feeling very exposed, I just thought. If I was just an employed physician, I would be so nameless and faceless. I would have some generic profile somewhere and no one would know anything about me or what I think, or my P how I practice or anything about me, and because I have some of these public platforms and I've consciously made choices to Really put myself out there and share some of these opinions, which I, you do not have to do as a DP C doctor. But I've done that. It, I just suddenly felt very exposed and I felt is somebody targeting me? Does somebody want to send me these messages? What? And. I actually posted in the local physicians group and I said, I got this weird package. Has this happened to anybody else? Just curious if it's just a random one-off weird thing. And then two other DB, C doctors also who happen to be women of color received basically the same thing, which again, I'm I don't know. It doesn't. It, there was no message. It was from Amazon. It was like a$14 flag where you could just send like a$5 flag if you really wanted to send someone a message like this didn't really make any sense. My husband thought I was crazy for even thinking there was any meaning behind it. But what I ultimately learned was that there's something out there called a brushing scam which if you haven't heard of it, I had not heard of it before this, but a brushing scam is basically when typically an international seller. We will send you an unsolicited item, which is usually of, very little mon monetary value, and they'll just send it to you in order to then write a fake review using your name. And even though this flag thing that was sent to me was like, I think I looked it up like$14,$15 on Amazon, it probably cost them a dollar or two to make, so they send it to you and then they can write a review under your name and it's essentially a way that they can buy five star reviews without people actually, choosing their product. I. It all still felt really weird to me. I was like why was it sent to my office? Why would it be sent to a business, and why would it be sent to these other two businesses, and why I couldn't still don't really quite understand the whole thing. But that's what, that's the conclusion I came to. I was okay, maybe it was one of these brushing scams and there was, maybe there was nothing else to it, but the damage was already done in terms of it rattling me. And again, that, that was another thing that made me feel okay, I got, I just, I'm just gonna pull back from, social media completely for a while. And I also signed up for this service, which I will put a link to also in the show notes. And I have no affiliation. There's no kickback, nothing. I have no financial relationship to this to this service. But through Doximity, there's a service called Dock Defender. And I, again, I'll put the link for you, but it's basically a service that will help remove your personal information from people. Search websites. A lot of these websites like true People search or. People finder been verified. There's a bunch of different websites, they're aggregating data from public records. So if you've registered to vote or bought a house or you've been married, that stuff is out there. It's so easy to find. If you have not taken steps to remove this information, I guarantee you, your cell phone number, your home address, the names of your spouse and your. Parents, all of that is very easy to find. So this service basically will request removal of your information from most of those big sites. And there are other services that do this, and typically they cost money. Those are like delete me and a couple of other ones. But Doximity offers this. Particular service to physicians for free, which is a huge benefit. Honestly, Doximity has really grown on me. They give you a free HIPAA compliant phone dialer. You can get a free HIPAA compliant fax. These are real valuable services. So I'm honestly. Very impressed with everything that they're doing. And like I said, I have no affiliation with them, no kickbacks here. So anyway, I signed up for Doc Defender just yesterday. And it was very quick and easy and, they give you a little report of which websites your information showed up on. They request removal. It can take weeks to months for it to be fully removed. But I had a colleague who had recommended this particular service to me, who's actually also a Micropractice mama. And she said that it did work very well for her and she noticed. That her information became much harder to find. Anyway, I'm gonna put the link in the show notes. Honestly, I think everybody should do it. All physicians should do it. There's no reason not to. Literally, no reason not to. So anyway those things happened to me over the last few months and I've been on my mind and I think it's just it's something to be aware of that, when you are. Starting a practice, promoting a business of any kind, there is a certain amount of putting yourself out there that you're probably going to do, that you would not have done otherwise. When you've got a big healthcare organization, marketing for you and bringing patients to you you don't have to quite put yourself out there and I have done that. I have done that, and that is a new experience for me. It doesn't feel natural. It feels a little scary. But, I'm trying to think of how I can make sure I'm doing it safely and responsibly and, being careful about it. So I. Anyway, that is the personal update. Alright, so now moving on. Last thing I wanted to share was a quick preview of some of the episodes that are gonna be in the season. I'm very excited about that. So a few of the episodes I have on the docket is Five Lies You've Been Told As A PCP. I'm very excited about that one. I feel like there's certain things that have just been said over and over to us that we now take as fact. And when you're swimming in the water, you just don't. Even realize that's not true. And once you get out of it, you see clearly oh yeah, I don't know why I ever believed that. That's obviously false. So anyway, gonna share five lies you've been told as a PCP. I have another episode on every hill I will die on. I made a joke about that in one of the previous episodes where I was, like, I say, oh, this is a hill I will die on about a lot of different things. And so I was like, why don't I make an entire episode about all the things that I feel very strongly about, and feel like they are hills that I'll die on. And I have an episode on that. I'm gonna do an episode called tough Love. I did an episode called Spilling the Tea about the downsides of Micropractice, which is a very popular episode. So I think people are craving okay, you're telling me all the reasons why this is great, but tell me all the things That are bad, tell me all the things that I should know, before I make this decision. And one of my big things is transparency. I just did it right now and told you about, some of the experiences that I've had that I feel like a little bit of a consequence of being in this practice model. But. I thought, okay, let me do a full episode around hard truths you need to accept before making this leap, and I think that's gonna be a good one and a popular one. I have an episode on inspiration versus imitation. This is gonna be a fun one. I have now had the experience of being plagiarized numerous times. And I think there's a spectrum. There's some people who are just straight up, copy and pasting stuff and don't care at all, and they just, they don't care. If it bothers me, they don't, I honestly have never contacted anyone. I've been like, please take this down. I, I. Yeah, that I don't think I ever have never contacted anyone, said if it's somebody that I know personally, which has happened, I have reached out and said, Hey, this looks a lot like my contact. Would you like me to help you make it yours? Because that makes more sense and will ultimately serve you better. But yeah, I just think there's a spectrum and some people don't even realize that they're plagiarizing or don't realize that. There's a way to be inspired by something without literally trying to copy it, like doing the exact phrasing and wording and font and pose in their photo. That you can be inspired without. Exactly imitating and ultimately that's going to work better for you in the long run. So anyway, I'm gonna do an entire episode kind of talking about that. And then I have a couple of micropractice one-on-ones. I have one already on the books. I have another one that I'm hoping to schedule, but I, the micropractice one-on-one that I am doing for sure. Is with one of my absolute favorite Micropractice mamas. She's been with me from the beginning. She's the mom of young kids. She started in the academic world, went to insurance-based con concierge, and then ultimately to DPC. She has been busy very quick out of the gate, so we'll talk about how did that happen? What was that like? And she's also very transparent about her own struggles and insecurities and will tell you that. She'll give you the, she'll give you the dirt and not just paint a pretty picture. So I'm very excited to interview her and share that with you. I was also thinking about doing an episode on micro practices and active self-care because I think we as women physicians are sold a lot of nonsense about what we should be doing to support our mental and physical and emotional health. Yoga, meditation, resilience training and coaching. So many different things. And ultimately I think. The work that you are being asked to do, the environment you work in, the structure of your job, the way you're compensated, the way you are treated and respected or not respected at work, are just such a bigger part of the pie than any of those things. I think there's an argument to be made that, choosing Micropractice is an act of self-care, so I'll talk about that. I was thinking about doing like a confessions episode where I say some embarrassing things that I maybe do in my practice or just as an entrepreneur, but honestly I haven't come up with them yet. So we'll see. I have to come up with a few and see if they sound interesting enough for an episode or compelling enough. And then lastly I wanted to do a q and a episode. As I was outlining all these episode topics, I was like, I should just ask people what they wanna know. And a lot of times when I solicit episode ideas. People will ask me things that are just, they're so small, they're not really big enough for a whole episode. But if I put all of those together, I can make an episode. I wanna do a q and a with maybe, more specific questions or things that you feel haven't been covered so far in the podcast or aren't talked about as much. You're welcome to ask me the hard stuff. I, maybe. There's some things that people feel like embarrassed to ask in the group or embarrassed to answer in big groups. I will answer it. Feel free to send me anything and everything. The best place to send me your questions would be sonia@micropracticemama.com. I used to always tell people to connect with me on Instagram. But like I said, I'm not checking my Instagram very much. So anyway, if you dmd me and didn't respond for a week, I'm sorry, it's'cause I'm really trying not to check it very often. And I do get notifications when I get tagged but if we have not DMD before it goes into that general public folder or whatever. So I, I don't always get a notification until I open the app and see it. Yeah, so those are all of the updates. I will try to have another episode out this week so that you're, you actually have some helpful content and not just me telling you about my trials and tribulations over the last few months. But please feel free to reach out to me with episode ideas, questions for the q and a or anything else you need around micropractice or direct care. And lastly. If you missed the pod and you were like, oh man, I was having withdrawal when the podcast was not happening and there were no new episodes. I would say if you have not left a review, please think about leaving me a review on whatever platform you are listening to this on. Since I will not be on social media as much, I will not have as many opportunities I think to. Tell people about the podcast or share the podcast in those forums. And so having you leave a review will, increase the chances of other doctors finding this information and finding, what I have to offer and learning about micropractice. So I would so appreciate just as sincere. Review on the pod if you have not done so already. And that brings us to the end of the show, and I will see you guys talk to you guys soon.
