Do you believe in work-life balance? How do you achieve it?
Dr. C.C: My wellness journey has taught me that balance is not about better time management, it’s about better boundary management. There is absolutely no way that I could balance being a physician with three young kids without setting healthy boundaries. The trick is not to prioritize what’s on my schedule but to schedule my priorities. I purposefully prioritize things like exercise, baking, beautifying my space, and entertaining at home. I set aside a couple of hours per day for an activity that brings joy to myself and those around me.
You’ve been on a Food Network baking show and are known for amazing and unique cookies. What do patients/colleagues think of that very unique accomplishment?
Dr. C.C: My patients and colleagues seem to be amused by my baking. They certainly benefit, since I’ve been known to make cookies for their baby showers, retirements, or weddings. I recently hosted a cookie class for about 100 physicians in my practice, and it was a lot of fun.
Have you ever incorporated medical themes in your baking?
Dr. C.C: My life involves so many things besides being a physician, so my cookies are reflective of a wide variety of my interests. Many of my cookies are custom portraits of friends, family, or celebrities. I also have made cookies with themes for social causes or in honor of Black women.
Where can our readers connect with you online?
Dr. C.C: I document my journey on Instagram, aptly named, “Ceasydoesit.” It is my goal to show others that Dr. C.C. does it, and they can, too.
