Dr. Latifat is a physician, money coach, and the empowering host of MoneyFitMD, a podcast created specifically for women physicians who are ready to take control of their finances and build wealth without burning out. Through real talk, practical tips, and mindset shifts, she helps her listeners transform their money stories and rewrite what’s possible for their lives.

In this episode, she dives deep into four major reasons why women physicians may be missing out on wealth-building opportunities—despite having the income and intellect to thrive. She explores the emotional and mindset barriers that show up as procrastination, guilt, fear, and the lack of a clear wealth plan, and she delivers practical encouragement on how to shift into action.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Certainty is procrastination in disguise.
  2. Fear and guilt limit growth.
  3. No plan equals missed opportunities.
