How a Harvard-Trained Dermatologist is Humanizing Medicine and Reclaiming Her Voice Outside the Exam Room
In this episode, AJ Vaden sits down with Dr. Mina—a Harvard-trained dermatologist turned top podcaster and entrepreneur—to explore what happens when a physician decides to challenge the traditional norms of medicine. From confronting burnout and questioning her identity at 40, to launching The Skin Reel podcast and building a thriving personal brand, Dr. Mina shares how she's transforming patient education and rethinking the doctor-patient relationship.
This isn't just about skin care. It's about taking control—of your brand, your message, and your future impact as a medical professional. Dr. Mina opens up about the outdated stigma physicians face around self-promotion, the importance of meeting patients where they already are (hello, YouTube and TikTok!), and why personal branding is not optional—especially in a broken healthcare system where trust is declining and misinformation is rising.
If you're a doctor, health expert, or service-based entrepreneur wondering how to build a personal brand without selling out, this is your roadmap to doing it with integrity, influence, and purpose.
🔹 Why doctors must stop hiding behind white coats 🔹 How to create endless content from everyday patient questions 🔹 Reclaiming autonomy in a system designed to burn you out 🔹 From operating rooms to online influence—Dr. Mina's powerful pivot 🔹 The truth about building trust before your patients walk in the door
