Divorce is not fun. There is nothing earth-shattering about that statement. Divorce not only can be devastating to your emotions, but it can be a bombshell to your personal finance. Does it always have to be this way?
In this episode, we’re interviewing Dr. X on how she was able to have a cheap and amicable divorce for only $1000. That’s right, I said it - a divorce during the COVID pandemic for only $1000.
I love Dr. X episodes because you get raw, unfiltered discussions about how folks feel about certain topics.
Things you’ll learn in this episode:
- Inventory the reasons you are fearful or hesitant to divorce
- Consult with a reputable family law attorney
- Inventory what money can’t buy and use this in negotiations

On this episode, my guest is Student Doctor Kamali Thompson who is a 4th year medical student at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey. I got her on the show to talk how she handles the craziness of medical school with being an amazing fencer! She’s got aspirations of making the Olympics in 2020 ya’ll.
Kamali got started with fencing pretty late in comparison with other fencers. With hard work, persistence, and people believing in her she’s been able to be successful at all levels. Recently she added US National Champion to her resume and regularly competes for Team USA internationally.
Things you’ll learn in this episode:
- How she got introduced to Fencing as a sport
- The difference between studying for medical school vs training for the Olympics

11 Money Traps That Doctors Should Avoid #265
Docs Outside The Box
02/07/22 • 36 min
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!
Now that Renee and I are 10 years deep graduating from residency, we feel there’s a lot of life experience that we can share. When looking back, the three themes of the show (money, mindset, and mission) have shown up in various life experiences.
In this episode, we’ll be introducing a new series called “11 money traps that burn-out doctors can overcome.” In some form, Renee and I have experienced these money traps and have found solutions to gain back control. The expectation is that you can learn from our experiences “growing up” and “adulting” while becoming doctors. We’re talking WITH you and not AT you and looking forward to you joining us on this journey.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!
Should you buy a house or rent? It seems like a hard decision to make. Not to me. Here’s my simple advice:
RENT!
Well, at least during the first couple of years of moving to a new town or starting a new residency.
Karl Brisard, a real estate agent with Keller Willams (and Renee’s cuzzo), is on the hot seat to talk about how to buy a house when you’re new to a city.
Here are some of the topics we discussed:
-How to choose which neighborhood to look
-How to tell if you should get a single family home or mult-family
-The questions you should be asking your realtor
-Different types of mortgages (i.e. FHA vs Doctor’s Loans)

Dr. Nii talks about the most important lesson he learned in 2021. He will be using this to change the trajectory of his life & business in 2022. Take a listen to see if this will help you also.
Key Quote of Atomic Habits:
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Your goal is your desired outcome. Your system is the collection of daily habits that will get you there... This year, spend less time focusing on outcomes and more time focusing on the habits that precede the results.”

🪽 This episode is dedicated to the late Dr. Jamal Dixon, a previous guest whose relentless spirit and advocacy amidst his cancer battle continue to inspire us.
Ep 245 - He beat stomach cancer while in residency
As we raise a toast to our 10-year anniversary, we can't help but share the pearls of wisdom we've gathered along the way. Especially, lessons from our own relationship journey that's been punctuated with moments of joy, growth, shared dreams, and yes, a few bumps. We unwrap some of the intricate facets of relationships such as understanding and addressing red flags, striking a balance between career and marriage, and the importance of unconditional love. Get ready to journey with us as we navigate these themes.
Life has a funny way of teaching us, doesn't it? As two professionals, we've grappled, compromised, and celebrated the delicate dance between marriage and career. We share our personal anecdotes and how we navigated them. Have you ever encountered a situation where blending marriage, money, and career felt like a tightrope walk? Then this could offer a fresh perspective.
We then venture into some often overlooked red flags of relationships: 1) not merging finances when starting a family, 2) missing controlling tendencies, and 3) not understanding each other's family dynamics. It's not always easy, but we believe that open, honest conversations can lay the groundwork for a strong partnership. So, join us for this soulful conversation packed with personal insight, thought-provoking discussions, and a dash of pop culture commentary.
