"Have you ever been told that you're just lucky to be married to a doctor? Did that go over well? Likely not. For me, it didn't go over well for a long time. I was like, what are you talking about?

We had to go through bachelors degree, MCAT, med school, and all of these things, and six figure debt. You just immediately want to get into your story." -Lara McElderry
