Coffee Playdate Podcast

Dr. Manpreet Samra shares how she went from full-time W-2 physician to scaling her own telehealth practice while raising two little ones - all without burning out. From early app flops to learning to rest after breast cancer, she reminds every physician mom that it’s okay to slow down, say yes, and just start. Packed with mindset shifts, community power, and real talk on flexibility and lifestyle design.

Key Takeaways ✨

• Early entrepreneurial stumbles are just “fantastic learning opportunities” — don’t fear them.
• The biggest gift of owning your business? Flexibility and lifestyle design. (Hello, month-long family trip to Spain in 2026!)
• “You are enough.” If you survived med school and residency, you can figure out entrepreneurship too.
• Breast cancer taught her the hardest lesson: it’s okay to rest. You don’t have to run at 150 mph all the time.
• Best advice for any physician wanting to start something new: Just start. Take one step. Don’t wait to feel ready.
