info_outlineWhen I became an entrepreneur, integrating my entrepreneur self and my physician self was complicated. I knew how to be either one, but being both didn’t come naturally—I felt pulled in opposite directions.
But I knew I had to figure out how to be both a physician and a coach. And how to be a wife and an entrepreneur. Bringing our whole multi-passionate selves to something is part of creating successful careers and satisfying relationships!
In today’s episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, I have a wonderful conversation with Dr. Pranay Parikh about bringing all parts of ourselves to a marriage (especially as multi-passionate people).

We discuss:
- Dr. Parikh’s unconventional journey to medicine
- Learning how to bring your whole self to your relationship
- Why Dr. Parikh is actually grateful for a rejection in his career
- How medicine has played a role in his marriage
- The dichotomy between safety & security, and freedom & autonomy (and how it could be affecting your relationship)
- And a lot more…
