233: Solocast - Winter is Coming
November 23, 2020 06:30 - 21 minutes - 17.8 MBWinter time and the holidays in particular are not necessarily happy times for everyone.

230: Passive Income with Dr. Jeffrey Anzalone
November 16, 2020 06:00 - 31 minutes - 26.1 MBOne thing we don’t learn in medical school is how to run a business. Which means that we don’t learn about investing and creating new income streams.

He did get back on his feet, but he realized how important it was to address the huge amounts of debt that doctor...

227: Motherhood with Dr. Leslie Cadet
November 02, 2020 09:05 - 34 minutes - 27.9 MBAs a mother, do you ever feel like you’re doing it wrong? Trust me, we’ve all felt that way. But what if you were the only one your kids had? What if you were a single mom and a physician? How would you ever move past the mom guilt and the expectations?

222: Remembering Who We Are with Dr. Jessica Wei
October 19, 2020 05:00 - 36 minutes - 29.3 MBHave you ever felt as if your worth is solely equated by your achievements? That you’re only as good as the work you do and the people you help?

221: Career Transformation with Dr. Jawaria Suhail
October 12, 2020 05:01 - 21 minutes - 18 MBThere is no one right path for physicians in medicine.

No one knows this better than Dr. Jawaria Suhail. She was born in Pakistan and raised in Saudi Arabia with only one professional path available to her. She was going to become a doctor. She was sent to boarding school with a very tiny support system. Later she ...
220: Transitions with Dr. Beverly Joyce
October 12, 2020 05:00 - 20 minutes - 17 MBMenopause is more than hot flashes and night sweats.

214: Powerful with Sabrina Runbeck
September 21, 2020 05:02 - 31 minutes - 32.3 MBWhy do we push ourselves beyond what a normal human being can stand? Why do we work and work regardless of the state of our own mental and physical health? Because we’re doctors. Because we already have all the medical knowledge so we must know better right? Wrong!

209: Pediatric Complexity & COVID with Dr. Stella Evans
September 07, 2020 05:00 - 30 minutes - 31.8 MBThere are so many aspects to complex pediatric care that most doctors tend to shy away from the practice.

August 24, 2020 05:02 - 31 minutes - 32.1 MBThe friends you make in medical school are friends for life. Very few people know what that experience entails.

They were still fulfilled but they knew there was more to be done. They put together TransforMD after experiencing different life eve...

I love coming onto the podcast and interviewing amazing women, but I wanted to share with you what it’s like to work with me. In case you’ve considered it but coaching seems scary. Because good coaching is sometimes scary. You have to dig deep and unearth those things that have been whispers in your mind.
