What if the life you’re building… isn’t actually the one you want?
We were about to buy a house in Boston. Great on paper, long commute, the “right” next step, you know the one. But something felt off, the kind of quiet unease that’s easy to ignore when everything looks fine from the outside.
Then we took a trip to Spain. Sun in January. A completely different rhythm of life. And standing there, suddenly, the question we’d been avoiding became impossible to ignore:
What are we actually doing? 😳
For the first time, it was crystal clear, the life we were building wasn’t the one we wanted.
That moment changed everything. And today, we’re finally telling the full story.
The Hippocratic Adventures podcast is officially live. Episode 1 is out now.
Watch the episode below.
This was before Hippocratic Adventures, before the community, before we had any answers. It was just a question we couldn’t shake. So we decided to find out.
We take you behind the scenes of what that actually looked like:
✅ The moment we realized the life we were building wasn’t the one we wanted
✅ Why the traditional academic path stopped making sense
✅ The tension of making two specialties work abroad
✅ The trip that completely shifted our trajectory
✅ The mid-flight “oh shit, what are we doing?” moment with 2 kids and a 2-year lease already signed
✅ And how we built careers that actually support the life we wanted
It wasn’t a perfect plan.
It was messy.
It was uncomfortable.
At times, it felt completely irrational.
And still… it was the best decision we ever made.
