Dr. Jocelyn Fitzgerald is a surgeon, researcher, educator—and a rising voice in the medical community who’s using social media to advocate for patients and push the conversation in medicine forward. In this episode, she shares how the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the mindset of doctors, empowering many to speak up, share their experiences, and challenge outdated systems.

We dive into how Dr. Fitzgerald found her voice online, why storytelling matters, and how you can build a presence without risking HIPAA violations. She explains the impact of sharing general patient themes rather than specific cases, and how powerful it can be when other women recognize their own experiences in the stories she tells—especially those who've been misdiagnosed, dismissed, or told "nothing’s wrong."

Dr. Fitzgerald also opens up about how being visible online has accelerated her career in unexpected ways—from landing speaking opportunities to connecting with people who have real influence in policy, academia, and beyond. She offers practical advice for physicians who want to start posting, beginning with something as simple as sharing their research papers or reposting voices they admire.

If you’ve ever wondered how to start using your platform for advocacy, or how your lived experience as a doctor can spark real change, this episode is for you. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being willing to speak up—and starting with what you have.

“I passed out during every presentation in college.”

Dr. Jennifer Roelands never imagined she’d become a speaker, a YouTuber, or a digital course creator—let alone someone building a mission-driven brand in women’s health. But after 13 years in traditional OB-GYN practice, she left the safety and success of her career to do what truly lit her up.

In this inspiring episode, Dr. Roelands shares her struggle with debilitating stage fright (yes, actual fainting), why she left a secure practice to launch her own integrative medicine brand, how she overcame her fear of being seen to build a YouTube channel and podcast, and her bold stance on improving perimenopause education.

She also offers smart advice for doctors who want to build a brand or business without crossing legal lines, and breaks down what it really takes to build a course—and how to keep evolving it as you grow.

If you’re a healthcare provider with a fire inside but fear making the leap, this episode is for you. Dr. Roelands proves that you don’t need to be perfect to get started—you just need to be brave enough to follow what moves you.
