On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my friend Diana, one of the fiercest and warmest women I know, a great storyteller, and one of the most driven professionals I've ever met. Here’s some of what we talk about:
First question: What is the most baller way of dropping off your child at a birthday party?
- stories of crooked Colombian priests, escaping Pablo Escobar’s men and fleeing to America
- steering your kids away from classmates whose parents suck
- the origin of her love of medicine because nurses let her sneak in as a kid during her mom’s treatment and prep for brain surgery
- her fearlessness in standing up to bullsh*t authority
- we unpack some of the saga of our elementary school getting closed
- our insanely all over the map musical tastes including Limp Bizkit! DMX! George Strait! Brooks & Dunn! Metallica!
- what it’s like acclimating to America in the 90s and being the only non-white person in her school
- the Max show The Pitt, nurses who smoke, empathy and violence against medical practitioners
- travel stories of Europe and Mexico and how she knew she loved her now husband
- the counter instinct of wanting people to reply “no” to your wedding invitation and our weirdly synchronous anniversary dates
