Ep. 66 The Growing Mom Gap in Self-care and Healthcare w/ Bonnie Hui-Callahan

Survey results show that there is a gap between how mothers care for their family, and how they care for themselves. Understanding how to best care for our own health and improving our health literacy is essential to living a long and healthy life and to model healthy behaviors for our children.

Bonnie Hui-Callahan is a pharmacist and mother of 4. Her pharmacist experience ranges from retail pharmacy, managed care, pharmacy education, and health tech where she currently works. In 2021, she co-founded The Clinician-Leader, a digital course and coaching business aimed at empowering clinicians to tap into their leadership potential.

Outside of her 9-5, Bonnie coaches pharmacists in resume writing, networking, interviewing, and negotiating. She resides in Orange County, CA, with her husband of 13

years, her 3 sons and 1 daughter, ages 3-9.

In part 1 of our conversation with Bonnie we explored ways to make healthy habits stick and had an important discussion on why Hepatitis B is something you may want to ask about at your next doctor’s visit. Today, in part 2 of our conversation we are covering the survey results that show a drastic gap in care for mothers, how parents can make sure they are caught up on their health, Bonnie’s insider tips for keeping up with all things healthcare related, and understanding what health literacy is and how we can use it to keep our family healthy.
