☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast

🎙️ EPISODE SUMMARY
What happens when a cardiologist finds herself in full survival mode, two young kids, a demanding call schedule, a husband who’s also a full-time physician and decides something has to change? For Dr. Christina Kang, that moment became a turning point. What followed was a journey she never could have scripted: real estate investing, a full pivot to telemedicine, and ultimately co-founding CardioVerse MD, a telecardiology company built to break down the access barriers that have patients waiting months to see a cardiologist.

In this warm and candid episode of the Coffee Playdate Podcast, Dr. Christina shares how she went from feeling deeply unfulfilled and guilty about it, to embracing a completely new identity. She talks openly about the mindset work it took to get there, the criticism she faced from colleagues and loved ones, and why the two most important moves you can make as a physician-entrepreneur are simply deciding to start and finding the right community.
