Of Friendships, Fetal Hearts and Fierce Women
from In Her Element : Unfiltered Stories of Women Finding Their Voice — and Their Power · host Swati Upadhyay
This episode was chaotic in the best way — three friends from medical school, catching up across miles and years. With Dr. Vartika (Fetal Medicine Specialist) and Dr. Pranoti Toshniwal (Pediatric Cardiologist), we laughed, we got real about our journeys in medicine, and we shared the kind of life nuggets that only come out when you feel completely at home.It’s also an episode threaded with grief. We talk about life before Jen and life after Jen — and how losing her reshaped us, softened us, and, in many ways, made us better humans.Heartwarming, messy, and deeply human, this conversation is for anyone who’s ever found healing in friendship or carried both laughter and loss in the same breath.✨ Dedicated with love to Jen.
