Healthcare Entrepreneurship with Suzie Welsh Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

Today on The WoMed, Nurse-Entrepreneur Suzie Welsh (@mybinto, MyBinto.com) joins D and Dani to share her journey in the world of medicine and how the broken system led her to launch her very own company. Suzie’s interest in healthcare and passion for women empowerment began when she was just 16 and had the opportunity to see the poverty-stricken country of Malawi. After earning her degree in Nursing and pursuing her Masters, she witnessed the broken healthcare system that focused on taking care of the sick instead of taking preventative measures, and ultimately started her very own company, Binto, to address that very issue. She shares with D and Dani the way Binto has transformed over its three years, what the future of Binto looks like, and what she believes sets nurses apart from others. The WoMed speak on the importance of entrepreneurship and intrepreneurship, listening to your gut, and supporting nurse innovators.

Absolutely Limitless with Dr. Tali Lando Aronoff Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Today on The WoMed, Dr. Tali Lando Aronoff (@hellandbackbook) joins D and Dani to share her incredibly inspirational story of surviving breast cancer, her training and career as a Pediatric ENT, and her powerful book, To Hell and Back. Dr. Lando was born with the desire to achieve, admitting she started stressing when she was only in the second grade. Even though her training to become a Pediatric ENT involved putting her life essentially on hold for nearly a decade, Dr. Lando knew she found her passion in working with kids and pushing the limits of science to solve life-altering problems. Her path took a very unexpected turn when she discovered invasive breast cancer, just after having given birth to a premature baby and caring for her father. She knew her story was one that had to be told so she took her love of writing and turned it into a powerful memoir: To Hell and Back. Grab the tissues for this episode; Dr. Lando's story is incredibly inspiring and proves she is absolutely limitless.
