Hey Doc,

Are you the problem? Not you alone, but us. Women physicians.

Without realizing it, we uphold the very systems — patriarchy, sexism, racism — that keep us playing small. It shows up in the way we react when another woman asks for more, when we hesitate to negotiate, or when we discourage salary transparency, and when we are passing down outdated advice to younger women physicians.

The truth is: the system of medicine was built in a different era, for a different demographic — and those old rules still shape how we show up today.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about accountability. It’s about unlearning what we were taught, and replacing them with a culture that actually serves us.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why asking for more should be celebrated, not criticized
• The danger of believing negotiation is “unprofessional”
• Why pay transparency matters (and who really benefits when we stay silent)
• How to hold yourself and other women physicians accountable in a way that opens conversation instead of shutting it down

Doc, it’s time to stop shrinking yourself to fit outdated expectations.

Take back your power.

Ask. Negotiate. Advocate.

And support other women when they do the same.
