Description

Supporting Physician Spouses is the podcast for physician spouses and partners who are done white-knuckling through medical training and ready to think clearly about what comes next. Hosted by Kendra Harvey, a physician family advocate, coach, and the person who will say the thing no one else is saying but we are all thinking. This show is for the spouse standing at the finish line of their partner's residency wondering why it doesn't feel like relief yet. Or the one already in attending life, realizing the transition brought a whole new set of questions nobody prepared you for. Each episode goes deep on the real stuff: finances, identity, relocation, career, family dynamics, and the marriage underneath it all. Not surface-level inspiration. Not cheerleading. Just grounded, honest conversation that helps you figure out where you actually stand and what to do from there. If you're navigating the medical school-to-residency, residency-to-practice, rebuilding after years of training, or learning what it means to be a physician family on the other side this is your place.
