In this episode of the Six Figure Chicks Podcast, host Mel C sits down with Dr. Madhuri Vasudevan, an endocrinologist at the Houston VA and Baylor College of Medicine who is nationally recognized for her work in diabetes care and her approach to treating the whole person. After spending her career caring for others, Madhuri found herself on the other side of the exam table facing a health challenge that changed her physically and challenged everything she thought she knew about being the strong one.

Madhuri opens up about what that experience taught her about trusting her own intuition, listening to herself, and allowing the women in her life to show up for her. She shares why leaning on her “chosen sisters” became so important during a difficult season and the three things she turns to when life starts to feel overwhelming: breathe, get outside, and call the women who love you.

She also talks about finding her way back to the parts of herself that can easily get lost in the responsibilities of everyday life. From buying herself a hula hoop to sitting back down at the piano, Madhuri shares why reconnecting with the little girl you once were can be a powerful way to remember what brings you joy. And in true Six Figure Chicks fashion, she shares the fun side of her life too, including singing in a cover band with her husband.

In this episode of the Six Figure Chicks Podcast, host Mel C sits down with Denette Cooke, veterinarian, entrepreneur, author, and founder of Cooke Veterinary Medical Center, for an honest conversation about career pivots, caregiver burnout, boundaries, and building a business rooted in purpose. Denette almost became a chemist before making a major career change and entering veterinary school at 32, eventually building her own animal hospital and spending more than two decades combining Western medicine with integrative and energy healing.

Denette opens up about the connection between being a lifelong caregiver and struggling with boundaries, including how being “parentified” early in life shaped the way she showed up for others. She shares the important difference between supporting someone and over-supporting or controlling them, and why setting boundaries isn't a one-time decision but an ongoing skill.

She also gets candid about burnout and how pouring yourself into your work can sometimes be a way of avoiding what is happening in your personal life. After 24 years in veterinary medicine, Denette is now using her experience to help address the mental health crisis within the veterinary profession through a nonprofit focused on supporting veterinary professionals.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that burnout is not a badge of honor, and that taking care of yourself, setting healthy boundaries, and leading with purpose can ultimately make you better at caring for everyone else.
