    As a current medical student, this podcast is amazing! I love hearing “what’s the what!” & how both hosts take the time to truly tell stories that are impactful. You both are very empathetic and deep feelers that reassure me that I can be those things even in a field like medicine that does a good job of stripping that away. Thank you for your honesty and showing up!! It would be dope if y’all had a GoodReads or Amazon link to Al the books you’ve ever mentioned! 💛

  • People Can Handle The Truth

    Hello! While I’m not a doctor, I’m an avid podcast listener, and I found your episode on 'imposter syndrome' incredibly insightful. It resonated with me, as it’s a feeling that transcends careers. Before retiring, I worked in data mining technology, and often found myself as the only woman in the conference room. I, too, struggled with feeling like an imposter, but I always knew how to prove that wasn’t the case. I’m strong, articulate, and unapologetically myself. Thank you both, Dr. McMullen &... more

  • The bumblebee still flies!

    Every time I think an episode is one of my favorites, these two amazing women crank out a new favorite. The bumblebee still flies might be my favorite of all time because I can relate to it so much. It took me back to so many things that I have done or applied for, but if I really thought a lot about it, I probably wouldn’t have. thank you so much for always sharing your stories and humanity with all of us. We are so lucky!
