In this raw and unfiltered episode of Hormones Happen, I open up about the moment I realized I could no longer survive the traditional healthcare system—and what finally pushed me to take the leap into starting my own cash-based clinic.

If you've ever cried before a shift, felt suffocated by bureaucracy, or questioned whether burnout was just part of the job... this episode is for you.

I walk you through:

✅ Why I left a “secure” government healthcare job

✅ How I launched my clinic with under $10K

✅ What it really means to take care of patients—without insurance companies dictating care

✅ How to stop overthinking and just start

✅ Why autonomy isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity

Whether you're an NP, PA, MD, DO—or just someone who knows there has to be more—this story will remind you that you're not stuck… and that building something better is absolutely possible.
