The most powerful moments in medicine often unfold after the diagnosis, in the quiet where plans are made and hope is rebuilt. Join us as we sit down with Dr. Kristen Cain, a physician who is double board certified in OBGYN and reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She traces a winding path from a mismatched residency to a specialty that blends precise science with unmatched patient care. 

We walk through how Dr. Cain leads two clinics while keeping patient education clear and compassionate, from first consults to delivering hard news and reframing the next step. She takes us inside the embryology lab, spotlighting the skilled scientists whose fine motor control and calm focus power modern fertility breakthroughs like preimplantation genetic testing and embryo assessment. 

One powerful moment of this conversation is a simple idea: do only what only you can do, and get help for the rest. Dr. Cain shares how she merged medicine and motherhood by auditing tasks, delegating strategically, and setting boundaries that protect energy for work that matters and family that needs her. She also offers concrete guidance on negotiating job terms early, building supportive teams at home and in clinic, and saying yes with intention.
