In this episode, we spoke with Dr. Zain Hasan, a board-certified anesthesiologist, husband, father, and rising medical voice on social media, for an honest conversation about what life is really like behind the curtain of modern medicine. Dr. Hasan opens up about the realities of anesthesiology, how he navigates raising a family with a wife who is also in medicine, and the pressures of being calm and decisive when seconds can mean life or death.

We also dive into the hidden toll medicine can take, why more physicians are speaking out online, and how Dr. Hasan reclaimed his own health, losing 50 pounds and rethinking everything from food to fitness. This episode is a look into the human side of medicine: the tradeoffs, the purpose, and the people behind the scrubs.

In this episode, she shares the powerful moment that led her to walk away from her “dream job” and begin rethinking success through tiny experiments, intentional imperfection, and curiosity-driven living.
