đź’ˇ What if you could pay off $238,000 in student loans in just 18 months, teach your kids to value money, and still build a life you love on your own terms?

In this episode, Dr. Disha Spath, also known as The Frugal Physician, shares her powerful financial transformation story how she and her husband crushed nearly a quarter million dollars of student debt while raising kids, relocating across the country, and living on a single physician income. What started as a personal journal became a viral blog and national platform empowering physicians to take control of their finances and their futures.

🏠 From debt freedom to legacy building, Dr. Spath and Dr. Schloe go deep on what matters most family, financial freedom, and designing a life aligned with your values. They also discuss Direct Primary Care, charitable giving, and how to raise financially savvy kids in a world that rarely teaches financial literacy.
