In this episode of The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney sits down with Kishshana Palmer, speaker, coach, and author of Busy Is a Four-Letter Word: A Guide to Achieving More by Doing Less. Together, they dive into what happens when moms finally decide to step off the hamster wheel of over-functioning and start living with more intention, joy, and rest.

You’ll hear:

💡 Why busyness has become the new badge of honor and how it’s isolating us

🧘🏾‍♀️ Kishshana’s Five-Star Wellness Plan to help you identify where you’re out of alignment (physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and community)

💤 The real reason moms struggle with sleep and how Kishshana created bedtime rituals that actually work

🗓️ How to use time-blocking and “buffer blocks” to reclaim your schedule and your sanity

🚫 Why multitasking doesn’t make you more productive and how to practice doing less so you can achieve more

💬 Real talk about canceling plans with integrity, managing guilt, and redefining success beyond everyone else’s expectations

This conversation is honest, empowering, and packed with practical strategies for any mom who’s ever thought, “If I slow down, everything will fall apart.” Spoiler: it won’t( and Kishshana shows you exactly why).

Our kids are growing up surrounded by misinformation about health, beauty, and worth. My new book, My One-of-a-Kind Body, helps kids ages 7–12 understand how their bodies work, what real health means, and how to build body confidence grounded in science — not social media. It features kids of all races, sizes, abilities, and family backgrounds, so every child feels seen and respected.
