Over To Dr. Shefali Trasi-Nerurkar

What’s been the most rewarding part of your motherhood journey so far?

Motherhood is a second birth of the woman. The ability of a woman to give life to a whole new individual makes her very special. For me, the fact that when I go home I have eager happy faces welcoming me with their little hands and huge hearts full of pure love makes motherhood most rewarding. We can share our stories, experiences and re-live childhood as our kids grow.

How do you tackle challenges, and what are three milestones that define your journey?

Challenges that a working mother doctor faces is the inability to give adequate time and attention to her own kids. When her kids are unwell, she is busy taking of her patients and their kids. The guilt makes her feel worse. In order to get over this guilt trip, I prefer spending quality time with my kids whenever possible. We keep weekends free to visit different places – fun or educational together. At the same time, I do explain to my kids about the work I do and its importance. They respect my worktime and allow me to be better doctor.

How do you strike that beautiful balance between work and home life?

When I work in clinic I focus on my patients and their health while when I go home I focus on my kids and family. That creates a beautiful balance between work and life.

My TheGlitz quote is…

We can always guide our kids to become better individuals instead of making them our lead projects of life. They are a separate individual. Allow them to make mistakes and support them when they need us the most.
