In this reflective episode of Pediatric Flow with Jolene, Dr. Jolene Carlton, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, explores one of life’s most challenging seasons—the space between preparation and outcome. As healthcare professionals, we’re trained to assess, intervene, solve problems, and take action. But what happens when we’ve done everything we can… and all that’s left is to wait?

Drawing from her experiences in pediatric critical care, her love of literature, history, architecture, and timeless wisdom, Dr. Carlton examines how waiting is not the absence of purpose but often the place where character, trust, and perspective are formed. Through thoughtful storytelling and insights inspired by Viktor Frankl, Corrie ten Boom, Brené Brown, and the teachings of Jesus, she offers encouragement for anyone navigating uncertainty.

Whether you’re caring for patients, pursuing a dream, making a difficult decision, or simply walking through an unknown season, this episode is a reminder that preparation matters—but so does learning to trust what comes next.

Join Dr. Carlton for a conversation about finding wisdom, courage, and hope while waiting.
