Helping Women Physicians Lead Their Money, Grow Wealth & Create Choice. You worked hard to become a physician. You earn a good income. But that doesn’t automatically mean you feel confident about money or that your money is giving you the freedom you thought it would. The MoneyFitMD Podcast, hosted by Dr. Latifat Akintade, is for women physicians who want to take the lead with their money, build wealth, and create more choice in how they live and practice medicine. Each week, Dr. Latifat helps you think differently about money and make wiser financial decisions—from paying off debt and investing to building net worth, navigating career decisions, and figuring out what “enough” actually looks like for you. You’ll learn how to:  Build a strong financial foundation  Make confident decisions about spending, debt, and investing  Turn your physician income into lasting wealth  Know what you need financially to work less, take time away, or change how you practice  Navigate money decisions with more clarity and less fear  Build wealth that gives you and your family more options  Because the goal isn't simply to know more about money. It's to become the woman who can lead it and use it to create the life, work, and choices that matter to you.

    Episode 360: I have $5 Million. Why am i still scared of running out?

    She's 50. Has a $5 million net worth. And she's still scared she'll run out of money. If that resonates, this episode is for you. Because this isn't a broke problem. This is a rich people problem. And rich people problems deserve air time too. Dr. Latifat breaks down the real questions underneath this doctor's question and why having the tension between living your life NOW and securing your future is actually a good sign, not a crisis. In this episode: Why $5M in net worth gives you ~$200K/year for 30 years and what that actually means for your plan The most important question to ask before you plan for retirement: what are you actually retiring FROM? Long-term care insurance and why naming your fear out loud is the first step to solving it  The part nobody talks about enough: faith, work, and why 100% you + 100% God is Dr. Latifat's actual retirement strategy "This is rich people problem. And that's okay because I am a rich people and I'm a person, and my problems deserve air time." 💡 Want this kind of nuanced, real conversation about YOUR money?

    New attending. Bay Area. $250K in loans. Wants a house and kids someday. Is buying a home right now the right move? Dr. Latifat got this question live and instead of just answering it, she does what she always does: she finds the real question underneath it. Because this isn't really about the house. It's about whether you're building a life by design, or quietly sliding into one by default. In this episode: Why "new attending" is one of the most financially dangerous seasons of your career The "cheat slip" test Dr. Latifat uses to check if your role model's life is actually one you want The math that will stop you in your tracksThe pandemic GI bleed story that changed how Dr. Latifat thinks about showing up to work What your kids actually remember and why it's not the house "I'm not here because I don't have a choice. I'm here because I choose to be." 💡 Ready to build wealth on your terms not just the attending default?

    "No matter what progress I'm making, when I compare myself with others, I just feel so behind." If that sentence just made you exhale, this episode is for you.

Short, honest, and exactly what you need to hear today. In this episode: Why feeling behind doesn't mean something is wrong with youHow to use other people's progress as inspiration instead of a weapon against yourself What Dr. Latifat looked like when she entered the entrepreneurial world and why her point zero wasn't their point zero The only comparison that's actually worth making "Your point zero is not the same point zero as them. And the sooner you stop comparing yourself to others, the sooner you start letting yourself win."

    Episode 357: I need $350k for home repairs. Should I tap my retirement?

    I need $350,000 for home repairs. Should I use cash, investments, or debt? Simple question. But Dr. Latifat's answer goes somewhere most financial advisors never take you because the real problem here isn't the $350K. It never is. In this episode, she breaks down how to think through big financial decisions like this one, so you stop solving the wrong problem and start making moves that actually move the needle. In this episode: Why freedom is the first goal for every woman physicianThe truth about $350K, why the number alone means nothing without contextWhy your primary home is not an asset in the traditional sense Your spending doesn't lieWhy traditional financial education fails women physicians on decisions like this one "Freedom is one of the tools that makes you a good doctor. If you don't have options, it is harder to be a good doctor." Want to make money decisions that are actually aligned with your life and your context?

    Episode 356: I earn 3X my Fiance, should we combine finances?

    "I make 3x my soon-to-be husband. Should we combine our finances?" Dr. Latifat gets this question a lot and her answer goes way deeper than a yes or no. Because this isn't just a money question. It's a relationship question, a values question, and for many women physicians, a question that can change the entire trajectory of your life.

    Do you actually need a side gig to build wealth? Or are you just exhausted and looking at everyone else's life?

And spoiler: it's not what the internet is telling you. In this episode: Why the side gig conversation is missing one critical first question Dr. Latifat's definition of wealth and why you need your own before you do anything else Why your income is not wealth and what actually turns one into the other Why before you find a side gig, most physicians need this skill set first The GI doctor's guide to income diversification How a second income source protects you when your hospital or admin "starts acting up" The bucket analogy: how a second income stream accelerates your path to freedom"Side gigs are not required.

    Episode 353: Confronting Financial Shame

    "I have med school debt, no real plan for my daughter's college, and a tuition bill I can't afford that's due now." That message landed in Dr. Latifat's inbox and she knew immediately it wasn't just one physician's story. The shame, the silence, the belief that a doctor should have all of this figured out by now. In this episode, she breaks down every thought hiding underneath that message and gives the honest, nuanced answer that no one else is willing to say out loud. Should you really be paying for your kids' college at all? In this episode: The shame spiral that keeps women physicians silent and why it compounds just like debt Why "I should have this figured out by now" is a thought error, not a factThought error #1: Rescuing your kids from debt might actually remove their drive for successThought error #2: Should parents really be expected to pay for all of college? The conversation to have with your kids right now about AI and the economic value of their majorThought error #3: Why prioritizing your kids' tuition over your retirement is a mistake The painful truth: your kid cannot borrow for your retirement, but they CAN borrow for college How paying for everything can actually create resentment in your kids later What to do right now if you're earlier in your journey and have young kids at home "We don't want the shame we've experienced to be what leads our kids and us into deeper debt in the future."
