  • Embracing Feminine Energy in Medicine with Power & Presence

    Embracing Feminine Energy in Medicine with Power & Presence
    Jun 25 2025
    Today's episode is unique in that it focuses on the challenges women may face going into a career in medicine (or any demanding career, truly), and how to not just overcome those challenges, but also grow through them. I am SO excited to have Sim, otherwise known as “simmcity” on Instagram, on today. Sim is a student doctor & anatomy fellow who shares her journey along with current mindset & movement tips on Instagram. What made her stand out to me was how she uses her platform to emphasize how embracing femininity doesn’t make you any less powerful. She hopes to help change how we see women in medicine and remind others that they don't need to water themselves down or shrink to lead a beautiful life and meaningful career. As someone who is starting medical school in just a few months, I really thought this was such a profound conversation to have and learned so much about how to truly become confident and not lose yourself in the pursuit of an advanced career, especially as a woman in medicine. Let’s get into it!

  • How Living with Type 1 Diabetes Changed the Definition of Health

    How Living with Type 1 Diabetes Changed the Definition of Health
    May 4 2025
    My guest today is a long-time friend of mine, Lexi Ascher! We grew up dancing together since we were eight, and this woman is an absolute inspiration. Lexi is a passionate advocate for health and wellness whose personal journey with type 1 diabetes has profoundly shaped her path. Raised in Orange County, she spent her childhood and teen years as a competitive dancer, instilling a deep appreciation for discipline, resilience, and physical well-being. Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 16 marked a pivotal turning point—deepening her empathy and understanding of chronic illness, and ultimately inspiring her to pursue a career in healthcare. Lexi is preparing to begin a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program this fall, with the goal of supporting and empowering children facing the same challenges she has experienced firsthand.

  • Fitness & Bodybuilding as a Young 20s Working Woman

    Fitness & Bodybuilding as a Young 20s Working Woman
    Oct 21 2024
    Welcome back for episode 23! I've been following my guest, Neha, for about two years now on Instagram, watching her bodybuilding journey while she balances her corporate job. As another young Indian woman, it's been so inspiring to see her pursue her passion for fitness in the media space, where it is so rare to see young Indian girls. Neha created her account because, growing up, she never saw girls who looked like her in media, and she wanted to become a representation that she lacked. As a bodybuilder, model, and speaker while working a full-time corporate job, Neha proves it is possible to pursue dreams and goals that are unconventional and that you are not defined by one experience or role.
