Do you feel like you want to lean out, make a career transition, or change your work-life balance, but your financial situation is holding you back? If so, the most recent Lean Out Podcast episode is for you!
Dr. Disha Spath, also known as The Frugal Physician, is a primary care internist in Upstate New York. Disha’s current work-life balance involves working as a per diem hospitalist in addition to writing and podcasting at The Frugal Physician. Years ago, she started writing about finances when she and her husband found themselves making many of the money mistakes that are common in the physician community. They decided to make significant and intentional changes to their lifestyles and had great success, paying down hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt in under two years!
Disha credits financial literacy with allowing her to create a more balanced life and reinvigorate her love for medicine. Now, she is passionate about teaching other physicians and healthcare professionals about financial literacy so they can find their freedom and design their ideal lives.
In this conversation, we talk about Disha’s career and financial journey, financial tips for beginners, how to decide where to spend your money, how to tackle a large amount of debt, what it’s like to be scrutinized as a public-facing person in finance, and more. This episode is packed with excellent financial tips anyone can use.
