Have you ever felt a calling towards something, but the journey of answering the call seems too tedious, maybe even impossible, to make? To those of you who’ve answered the call, how did you navigate your journey? Where did you start? How did you motivate yourself to keep going? Who did you rely on for strength?
In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Kimberly Richardson, a board-certified primary care internist and Assistant Clinical Professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Dr. Richardson shares her journey into medicine, the early influences that shaped her career and what keeps her going all these years later. She opens up about imposter syndrome, balancing work and family life, her aspirations for the next generation of medical professionals, and how her own lived experiences as a patient and a Black queer physician have shaped her advocacy for equity in healthcare.
Tune in and listen to the twenty-seventh episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to hear an inspiring story about resilience, self-belief, and the transformative power of listening in medicine (and in life).

- How a childhood visit to her pediatrician sparked Dr. Richardson’s lifelong dream to become a physician (3:48)
