Dr. Ishnella Azad, known simply as Ish, is a psychiatrist-turned-real estate mogul who has lived multiple lives in one. From medicine to commercial real estate to data centers, her journey is fueled by a singular mission: to empower everyday people, especially women, with the tools to build generational wealth and lasting freedom.

In this episode, Dr. Azad shares how surviving personal trauma, including a life-altering MRSA infection and amputation, led her to transform her pain into purpose. We talk about trauma, identity, financial literacy, and why she believes economic empowerment is the most powerful form of healing.

Her story is raw, bold, and incredibly inspiring, and her message is clear: no matter what life throws at you, just get up.
