Have you ever dreamed of practicing medicine in a way that actually fits your life? Where you're not racing through 15-minute visits, drowning in charts, or missing your kid's birthday because of another call weekend? Then this episode is for you.

I'm joined by Dr. Diana Kumar and Dr. Teresa Walsh, two board-certified OB-GYNs who opted out of the grind of a big healthcare system to co-found GLISS Wellness, a nationwide telemedicine practice for women's health and menopause care.

In just eight months, they turned an idea from their "burn book" into a real, thriving business. No perfect plan. No waiting for permission. They just got to work and made it happen.

We're diving into what it really takes to launch your own practice, how they got licensed in all 50 states, and why telemedicine has given them the freedom and flexibility they craved. This is a story about guts, innovation, and rewriting the rules to build a career that finally fits.

In this episode we're talking about:

• How a trip abroad sparked a new business idea
• Why they chose telemedicine over a brick-and-mortar practice
• The unexpected perks of telehealth for women's care
• How AIR (All In Remote) Academy helped them launch fast and legally
• Why having a partner made all the difference, and what to look for if you're considering teaming up
• How they stacked multiple income streams to stay financially secure during the transition
• The emotional and mindset hurdles of leaving traditional medicine, and how they pushed through the fear
