💍 From Injectables to Playdates: Inside Our Real, Unfiltered Lives
Hey friends,
You’ve seen us with syringes, serums, and scalpels—but this week on Skin Deep MDs, we’re pulling back the curtain and talking about the messy, hilarious, exhausting, heart-bursting parts of life that don’t make it to Instagram.
We’re diving into motherhood meltdowns, how we really met our husbands (yes, one of them was a patient 👀), the truth about anniversaries we forgot, and the wild juggle of being a doctor, partner, content creator, and human—all at once.
This episode is raw, chaotic, and probably the most us we’ve ever been.
⏱️ Episode Breakdown: Marriage, Motherhood & Mayhem
👶 [01:53] Toddler Chaos Is the Default
Two toddlers = two tornados. Who knew a teddy bear could start WWIII?
🚔 [06:54] Potty Training + Public Pee = Parenting Gold
Yes, there was a cop. No, we didn’t get a ticket (but we should’ve).
💘 [13:13] How We Met Our Husbands
One walked into class late. One slid into DMs. One stared across a cadaver lab and said, “I’m gonna marry her.”
🍼 [27:05] Parenting Plans vs. Reality
No screens, no sugar, no problem? LOL. Cue the iPad and chicken nuggets.
🎯 [30:55] Surprise: Our Husbands Might Be the Better Parents
Spoiler: Some of us are learning parenting from our partners.
👵 [34:49] Breaking Cycles: From Spoon-Whacked to Gentle Parenting
Our upbringings were strict. Our styles? Still evolving—with lots of grace.
🛑 [35:55] Do We Ever Shut Off?
Only if we leave the house. Because when we’re home, the to-do list screams louder than the kids.
💬 [42:15] “When You See Me Succeeding, I’m Failing Somewhere Else”
Real talk about guilt, trade-offs, and why help (nannies, assistants, family) is the real MVP.
🩹 [45:55] That Time We Stitched a Toddler’s Lip at Home
Yes, lidocaine was involved. So was YouTube Kids.
📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube. Real mess. Real love. Real parenting—no filters, just facts (and funny fails).
🎧 Listen Now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
✨ TL;DR:
Being a mom and a derm means you’ve probably cleaned up poop and performed a procedure—before 8AM.
Help is not optional—it’s how we stay sane.
Big anniversaries? Sometimes we forget. Love is in the little stuff.
Gentle parenting is beautiful… and really hard. We’re learning, too.
💖 If this ep made you laugh, cry, or feel seen—share it with your favorite parent-friend who needs to know: No one’s doing it all. We’re just doing our best.
With love, chaos, and dry shampoo,
—The Skin Deep MDs
