In this empowering episode, orthopedic surgeon and Pinnacle Cofounder Dr. Pamela Mehta joins Vestia CEO Lauren Oschman to share how she broke the mold in one of medicine’s most male-dominated fields. From launching her own concierge practice to creating a national movement for women in medicine, Pam opens up about the challenges she faced, the grit it took to go out on her own, and her mission to help other women physicians build profitable, purpose-filled careers on their terms.

Together, Lauren and Pam also get real about what it’s like to have children right as you’re building your career—how motherhood intersects with ambition, and why the medical system still isn’t built to support women during this pivotal stage of life. Pam shares how that tension fueled her decision to walk away from traditional practice and design a life where both her family and career could thrive.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, exploring advisory work, or dreaming of a new definition of success—this conversation will leave you inspired to redefine your own Pinnacle.
