This month, I’m doing something different. I have four special guests, my kids, and I’ll share their interviews with you each week.
To start things off, today’s guest is my firstborn child, Hannah, who will be turning 30 this month! Hannah was born in Papillion, Nebraska, on December 10, 1993, in my third year of medical school. Later, we moved to Oklahoma, where I did my residency, and when she was around five, her mom and I divorced.
Going into the interview, Hannah told me that no questions were off the table, and we had an open conversation on everything from her earliest childhood memories to her divorce and weight loss journey.
One of the things I’ve realized as a parent is that if you can raise your kids without injecting your pathologies into them, you’ve done a good job. Enjoy the episode!
