Episode 06: Keeping the FUN in Functionality

With guest Jamie Miller, PharmD, BCPS, BCPPS, FPPA

Remember when you were a person, before you were a mom and a healthcare professional? Have you become so “responsible” in your roles that you’ve lost a bit of the fun side you once had? What happened to those hobbies that were things you enjoyed, and how can you make time to infuse FUN into your daily life?

Healthcare professionals - and moms - are notoriously high-functioning individuals. But today, we are giving ourselves permission to put the FUN back in functionality.

Our guest on today’s episode is Jamie Miller, PharmD, BCPS, BCPPS, FPPA. Not only is she an accomplished pharmacy school professor, researcher, and NICU clinical pharmacist…she is also a mom of teenagers, adventure athlete, and a YouTube content creator. When she’s not presenting her research at national conferences [while wearing a suit made out of her professional posters], she travels the country with her twin sister competing in extreme adventure races under the team name “Overconfident / Undertrained.” They document their hilarious adventures along the way on YouTube at: Over Confident Under Trained.


Today, Dr. Miller shares about her journey of motherhood and career growth, tips on making time for your own hobbies, and ways to curate fun in your daily life at work and at home.

Listen in to my conversation with Dr. Miller as we explore topics that will remind you…

  • You’re worth investing in the things that make you laugh, the hobbies that make you fulfilled, and intentionally planning FUN in your daily life

  • You don’t have to be good at everything… truly, don’t take yourself so seriously

  • You’re a better mom and healthcare provider when you prioritize an outlet for creativity that sparks joy in your own life

Because you can’t spell high functioning without the FUN,

Dr. Peek
