Off Service Mom Co. Intake Form

I work shifts or overnight call — my schedule rotates and is unpredictable

I work standard clinic hours — more predictable but fully packed

I'm part-time or have a flexible arrangement right now

Someone I can text when something hard happens, no explanation needed

A standing virtual coffee — same time, same person, every few weeks

Deep conversations that have nothing to do with work or kids

Someone who just gets the physician mom experience without me having to translate it

Occasional in-person time when life allows

Someone I can be completely unfiltered with

I've lost touch with who I am outside of work and mom life

My people are in other cities — starting over here feels hard

My friendships didn't survive the shift into motherhood

Letting people in — I keep things surface level without meaning to

The loyal one — slow to open up but deeply committed once I do

The initiator — I make the plans, I check in, I show up

The listener — I'm present and people feel known around me

The honest one — I say the real thing, even when it's uncomfortable

The fun one — I bring lightness and humor to everything

Emotional safety — I can be a mess and it's okay

Voice memos — I can respond when I have a minute

Texting — low pressure, no schedule needed

A short video call — face to face but contained

Longer calls — I need real conversation time

Async check-ins — a question or prompt I can sit with
