From Freeze to Financial Freedom: Money, Mindset & Wealth for Women Physicians

Love, Science & Letting Go: Building a Thriving Fertility Coaching Practice While Reclaiming Your Life

In this episode, I sit down with the remarkable Dr. Erica Bove — double board-certified OB-GYN, Reproductive Endocrinologist, and the founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. What begins as a story about choosing medicine becomes a deeply honest conversation about identity, burnout, divorce, and the radical courage it takes to redesign your life from the inside out. Dr. Bove shares how she went from a laser-focused academic physician working grueling hours to a single mom who heard the four words that changed everything: "Mom, you're here, but you're not here." That moment cracked open a new question — what does it actually look like to live in alignment? We talk about the coaching tools she started weaving into her fertility consultations when she realized brilliant, high-achieving women were being disempowered by the very system meant to help them. We talk about her journey out of a traditional employed position and into a per-diem + thriving coaching practice model. And we talk about what it means to be a healer first, and a doctor second. This one is full of real pearls — on questioning limiting beliefs, knowing your numbers, negotiating your value, and giving yourself permission to choose something different. About Our Guest Dr. Erica Bove, MD is a double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist at the University of Vermont, and the CEO and founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Her mission is to empower women physicians to build their families with confidence, self-compassion, and community.

Honor the Nudge: How Dr. Una Built a Movement of Physician Entrepreneurs

In this energizing and deeply honest conversation, Dr. Jennie Eckstrom sits down with Dr. Una to explore the real journey behind EntreMD and the entrepreneurial transformation of a previously shy, introverted pediatrician who built multiple thriving businesses. Dr. Una shares how her early days in a solo pediatric practice planted the first seeds of entrepreneurship. She recalls the anticlimactic moment after seeing her first patient as an attending—when she realized she couldn’t spend the next 40 years repeating the same 20 visits a day. A mentor’s suggestion to “start your own practice” shifted everything, despite her being only months out of residency and pregnant at the time. This episode is a masterclass in mindset, reinvention, and leadership for physicians living in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape. Dr. Una is the visionary founder of EntreMD, an organization on a mission to help 100,000 physicians build profitable 7- and 7+-figure businesses so they can practice medicine and live life on their own terms. A board-certified pediatrician turned serial entrepreneur, Dr. Una leads the EntreMD Business School, hosts the Top 1% EntreMD Podcast, and is the bestselling author of multiple business books for physicians. Her work has been featured in Forbes, and EntreMD has earned a place twice on the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies list. Dr. Una resides outside Atlanta with her husband and four children, and continues to serve as one of the most trusted voices reshaping what’s possible for physicians in business.  Follow Mind Behind the Curtain to catch new episodes and stories that help you lead and live with more clarity.

Food Quality: The Missing Link in Chronic Disease Prevention

In this episode of Mind Behind the Curtain, Dr. Jennie Eckstrom sits down with neuroradiologist and lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Akshita Mehta to explore one of the most overlooked contributors to chronic disease and patient overwhelm: food quality. As independent physicians, we see firsthand the downstream consequences of chronic microvascular disease, fatty liver, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation. Dr. Mehta brings a radiologist’s eye and a systems-level perspective to a conversation about prevention that goes deeper than diet trends, focusing instead on how food is grown, sourced, harvested, handled, and absorbed. This conversation is an anchor for any physician practicing outside of the traditional system who wants their patients to have real access, not just to care, but to information that truly changes health trajectories.
