Jessica Koch: Hello, everybody. I am Jessica Koch, your host of Profound Professionals and we have had the joy over five years of featuring amazing, brilliant people from all over the world that are profound in so many different ways. They are inspiring. They’re outside the box in their industry, and they care about amazing, brilliant causes far above themselves and outside of themselves that support our community and the world.

So today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Barbara Hales. Dr Hales is an author, speaker and health marketer after having practiced medicine and OBGYN for many, many years. She has also appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS. So all of the major networks that are the most important, I would say. So welcome, Dr Hales and thank you for joining us today.

Dr Barbara Hales: Well, thank you. And it’s a pleasure seeing you today. And thank you for having invited me.

Jessica Koch: Are you still practising as an OBGYN? Tell us about your journey.

Dr Barbara Hales: Well, my journey started out with a bit of a challenge because, in the days that I wanted to apply to medical school and wanted to apply for a residency, there was an unwritten quota about females in medicine. The interview I had way back, is totally illegal now. But you know, what’s acceptable at that time, was an interviewer asking me if I planned on ever getting married and having children. At that time, I was too young and naive to do anything but be honest. So I said, Yes, of course, I really don’t see one as being mutually exclusive over the other. At which point he turned red and snapped his fist as hard as he could on the desk, saying, How dare you? Your children will suffer, your husband will suffer, and your patients will suffer. Because you cannot pay attention to all of them with all of your being. You won’t be home
