☕ Coffee Playdate Podcast Guest: Dr. Gurneet Matharoo | Family & Obesity Medicine Physician + Business Owner

🌟 Episode Highlights Dr. Gurneet sits down with Dr. Olga for a really honest chat about stepping away from the traditional W2 doctor life to build something that actually fits around her baby and her values. She opens up about becoming an independent contractor, partnering in a med spa, and launching her own mobile IV therapy business — all while learning to get comfortable with uncertainty and trusting the process when things felt slow or scary in the beginning.

From black coffee (just half a cup from her favorite local Kansas City roasters) to color-coded calendars full of emojis, Gurneet shares practical ways she stays organized and motivated as a mom running multiple businesses. It’s inspiring, relatable, and full of those “I needed to hear this” moments for any woman thinking about creating her own path.

Gurneet’s Story Board-certified in family medicine and obesity medicine, she chose independent contracting right after residency for the freedom and flexibility it gives her as a mom. Today she balances ER locums, obesity medicine at a med spa, and her mobile IV + IM therapy business.
