Back to EpisodesJANUARY RESET: A Year Later: Four Doctors, One Update: Growth, Boundaries, and Building DPCs That Last
Description
This episode is a homecoming!!!
As part of our January Reset Series, we’re re-airing a powerful conversation with four physicians from three specialties who each share a one-year update on their Direct Primary Care journeys.
In this episode, you’ll hear from:
• Dr. Christina Much and Dr. Jake Much (Family Medicine) founders of Defiant DPC who are sharing about growth beyond expectations and how they planned maternity leave without panic
• Dr. Deepti Mundkur (Internal Medicine) will be reflecting on time, advocacy, mentorship, and designing a practice aligned with life
• Dr. Lauren Hughes (Pediatrics & Lactation) will be discussing boundaries, parenting while practicing medicine, and building community-rooted care
Whether you are in residency, early career, actively considering DPC, or already open and asking how do I protect my energy and build something sustainable, this episode is for you.
These physicians aren’t sharing finished stories - they’re sharing living ones.
And January is a reminder that it’s okay to pause, reassess, and realign whether you’re just beginning or years into practice.
Take a breath.
You’re not behind.
You’re allowed to build something that lasts.
What to Especially Listen For:
• How growth sometimes comes faster than expected and how to respond without burning out
• How maternity leave, parenting, and practice ownership can coexist
• How advocacy becomes possible when time is no longer rationed
• How workflows, boundaries, and systems continue to evolve after opening
• How DPC allows doctors to practice medicine that matches their values and not just their training
