from What Now · host Mary Alice Hatch
In this episode of the What Now Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Carla Suarez, a pediatrician whose inspiring journey began in poverty as a first-generation American. Raised by a single mother after her father left, Carla faced food insecurity, cultural barriers, and emotional hardship, but through faith, community, and her passion for learning, she found a way forward.Carla shares how her testimony of a loving Heavenly Father began as a child and deepened through experiences with missionaries, church service, and quiet spiritual moments. With the support of mentors, counselors, and her devoted husband, she pursued her dream of becoming a doctor, graduating debt-free and now serving immigrant families with empathy rooted in lived experience.She opens up about the miracles that shaped her path, the strength she found in service and scripture, and her message for young women who feel unseen: God knows your heart, and He will guide you.✨ New episodes every two weeks!🎧Listen on Apple Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-now/id1474476293🎧Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2zY4GanR2iYfVgRyabNvbI?si=0d2f8ec8dc534240Follow my YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@podcastwhatnowBe sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode!
