Dr. Olivia Richmond isn’t afraid to speak up—even when the system tells her to stay quiet.
In this powerful episode, she opens up about the real, often hidden struggles of becoming and being a doctor. From the relentless grind of medical training to the burnout that follows, Dr. Richmond shares what it’s like to work in a culture where speaking up can come at a cost—but staying silent costs even more.

She walks us through personal stories of toxic hierarchies, being disrespected in the OR, and the emotional toll of fighting for autonomy in a system that too often demands obedience over honesty. But she didn’t stop there.

Dr. Richmond also talks about her passion for sexual health education, the power of building an authentic voice online, and how she’s using platforms like YouTube, TEDx, and Doc Influencers to create lasting change. Her mission? To make the conversations we tend to avoid—burnout, boundaries, failure, and sex—impossible to ignore.

If you’ve ever questioned your place in medicine, felt like your voice didn’t matter, or dreamed of using your story to spark change—this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
