Description

After years of working inside a system that demanded more patients and less presence, Dr. Sejal Desai decided she wasn’t going to let the system define her, or her care.


In this episode, she shares how she walked away from burnout and built something new: a direct specialty care clinic that prioritizes time, connection, and balance. From her journey as an immigrant and young mother to launching her own practice and leading a community of women physicians, Dr. Desai’s story is a powerful reminder that medicine can be redefined by those brave enough to start over.
