It's never too late to reinvent yourself. A conversation with Dr. Kim Johnson Hatchett!

Balancing Motherhood, Medicine, and Motivation with Dr. Kim Hatchett

In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Dr. Kim Johnson Hatchett—a neurologist, hospital administrator, wife, and mom of two—to talk about women’s health, resilience, and the power of pursuing your passion no matter your age or circumstances. Dr. Kim shares her journey from business school to pharmaceutical sales, and ultimately, to medical school in her 30s. She opens up about the challenges she faced along the way, including divorce, rejection letters, and long nights working while taking prerequisites. Her story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to go after what you’re truly called to do.

We also dive into brain health, the importance of listening to your body, and how women often dismiss symptoms that can point to serious conditions like stroke. Dr. Kim shares practical advice on prioritizing wellness, creating an environment that supports your goals, and embracing small daily steps that lead to lasting health. This episode is full of motivation and wisdom—whether you’re looking to make a career change, improve your health, or simply need the reminder that you already have the power to create the life you want.
