Dr. Ariela Marshall didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a doctor, and she didn’t follow the traditional path. But the moment she stepped into the clinic, she realized medicine wasn’t just science, it was a system with cracks she could no longer ignore. From witnessing a culture that prized endurance over empathy, to facing gender bias head-on, to navigating the painful reality of infertility as a physician, Dr. Marshall’s journey forced her to confront the uncomfortable truth about what the profession demands from women.

In this episode, she shares the day everything changed, the moment that pushed her to question the rules she'd been taught to follow and start imagining a different path forward. Her story is raw, honest, and deeply human. It’s about what happens when a doctor stops accepting the system as it is and decides to challenge it instead.
