Hi, I'm Kendra

I’ve been married to a neurosurgeon since 2003. I’ve lived every season of medicine, from residency with four young children to attending life and I know firsthand that external stability doesn’t automatically create internal peace. I spent years waiting to feel better. When that didn’t happen on its own, I started untangling who I had become inside survival mode. Now, as a Professional Certified Coach, I help physician spouses do the same.

Episode 43: Finding Home as a Physician Spouse, Real Estate Guidance with Amanda Baron

Today we’re talking about relocating as a physician family: juggling housing decisions, community building, and the weight of transitions that feel bigger than just finding the right house.

 

In this episode, we talk about:

  • How to find a realtor who actually understands medical life, not just your theoretical income

  • What makes a move feel like home, beyond square footage and school districts

  • Why your community matters just as much as your house, and how to build one from scratch

  • Whether to rent or buy when your timeline is uncertain and your schedule is unpredictable

 

You’ll hear:

  • Amanda’s story of moving to Nashville without community and how that loneliness became the catalyst for creating a thriving local physician spouse group

  • Why interviewing realtors matters, what questions to ask, and when it’s okay to walk away from a transaction that doesn’t feel right

  • Practical advice for first-time homebuyers navigating a confusing market, including when the numbers don’t actually make sense to buy

 

This episode is especially for you if:

  • You’re staring down a move and feel overwhelmed by all the unknowns stacking up at once

  • You’re trying to figure out if you should rent or buy when your partner’s contract is short or the job situation still feels uncertain

  • You want to feel less alone in a new city but don’t know where to start or who to reach out to
