    What Physicians Don’t Expect About Moving to Hawaii with Nathalie Champion – Ep20
    May 18 2026

    Relocating to Hawaii as a physician family comes with far more than beautiful scenery and ocean views.

    In this episode, Zoe Taylor talks with Honolulu-based real estate professional Nathalie Champion about the emotional realities of starting over in Hawaii during medical career transitions. From rebuilding community and adjusting expectations to navigating physician life in Hawaii, this conversation explores the human side of relocation that often gets overlooked.

    Nathalie also shares her journey from running a successful art gallery in Santa Fe to helping physician and military families create stability through real estate and relocation support.

    Nathalie Champion is a Honolulu-based real estate professional with Compass who specializes in helping physician, military, and relocating families navigate major life transitions through thoughtful, relationship-driven real estate guidance.

    Before transitioning into real estate, Nathalie ran a large art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her move into the housing industry was inspired by a difficult personal experience with a sales agent, which reinforced the importance of trust, competence, advocacy, and service during life-changing decisions.

    As the spouse of a forensic psychiatrist, Nathalie understands firsthand the unique emotional and logistical challenges medical families face while relocating, rebuilding community, and creating stability in unfamiliar environments.

    Her work is deeply rooted in appreciation, service, and helping people feel at home during seasons of transition.

  • Smart Money Decisions During Medical Transitions with James Nutter — Ep19

    Smart Money Decisions During Medical Transitions with James Nutter — Ep19
    May 11 2026
    Physicians spend years mastering medicine — but very little time learning how to navigate money, home buying, debt, and long-term financial planning during major life transitions. In this episode, Zoe Taylor sits down with fiduciary advisor James Nutter for a grounded conversation about the financial side of moving through medicine. Together, they unpack physician loans, home buying during training and attending transitions, how to evaluate financial advisors, and why so many physicians end up overwhelmed by financial decisions despite being highly educated professionals. Rather than focusing on “getting rich,” this episode centers on building a life that actually aligns with your goals, values, relationships, and long-term vision. Episode Sponsor This episode is sponsored by Bob Hall at Truist. Bob works closely with physicians and medical families navigating relocation, home buying, physician loans, and major financial decisions during career transitions. Whether you're relocating for residency, fellowship, or an attending position, Bob helps physicians think strategically about financing decisions so they can build stability without becoming financially overextended. 🌐 Truist.com/Bob.Hall Episode Summary James Nutter is a fiduciary financial advisor and partner at IM Wealth, where he helps physicians navigate the often-overwhelming world of money, investing, debt, and long-term financial planning. In this conversation, James and Zoe explore how financial decisions intersect with physician life transitions — especially during residency, fellowship, relocation, and early attending years. They discuss the realities of physician loans, why getting approved for a large mortgage doesn’t necessarily mean you should take it, and how physicians can reverse engineer home-buying decisions around lifestyle goals instead of external expectations. The conversation also dives into the financial advising industry itself — including fiduciary standards, commissions, hidden conflicts of interest, and how physicians can better protect themselves from poor financial guidance. This episode is practical, honest, and deeply relevant for physicians trying to create financial clarity during some of the busiest and most transitional years of their lives. In This Episode, We Cover Physician loans and common misconceptionsHome buying during residency and attending transitionsHow to determine what house you can realistically affordWhy physicians are often targeted by commission-based financial productsThe difference between fiduciary and suitability standardsQuestions physicians should ask before hiring a financial advisorDual registration and hidden conflicts of interestBudgeting and understanding cash flow during life transitionsEmergency funds and financial peace of mindLifestyle creep in medicineFinancial conversations inside relationships and marriageAligning financial decisions with personal valuesBuilding wealth without sacrificing quality of life What Makes This Episode Different A physician-focused financial conversation through the lens of medical transitions and relocationHonest insight into how the financial advising industry actually worksPractical guidance around physician loans and home buyingTransparent discussion around fiduciaries, commissions, and financial conflictsA realistic conversation about balancing financial goals with real lifeAdvice physicians can immediately apply during training or attending transitions About the Guest James Nutter is a fiduciary financial advisor and partner at IM Wealth, a physician-focused financial planning firm helping medical professionals make more intentional financial decisions.

  • From San Francisco to LA, with a Toddler and a Moving Truck — A Physician Spouse's System for Sane Relocations — Ep18

    From San Francisco to LA, with a Toddler and a Moving Truck — A Physician Spouse's System for Sane Relocations — Ep18
    May 4 2026
    Lisa Alemi is a physician spouse, mother of three, and the creator of Move Mama Move — a relocation planning system born out of one too many moves done the hard way. Married to a general surgeon she met in San Francisco, Lisa has lived through the full physician-family relocation arc: a research-year honeymoon period, the brutal pivot back into clinical training, fellowship in Seattle, four years in Kansas City, and a cross-country move to Los Angeles with a six-month-old in tow. That last move, executed on no sleep and full mom brain, was the one that broke her — and built the planner. Now based in LA, Lisa walks host Zoe Taylor through the mechanics most physician families never get briefed on: how to vet a moving company with the right 30-plus questions, why a binding estimate matters more than people realize, what to put in the "do not move" box, how to color-code a household so movers don't need to ask where anything goes, and why mail forwarding will quietly fail you on the documents that matter most. They cover the nervous, expensive, emotionally taxing parts of relocation — and the simple systems that take the guesswork out. They cover: Why the research years of residency can be a false sense of security — and what changes the moment a clinical rotation startsThe first traumatic move (a 26-foot truck, San Francisco, 5 PM rush hour, no plan) that became the catalyst for every checklist afterWhy long-distance moves often involve two different companies — and what that means for accountabilityBinding estimates, hourly traps, long-carry fees, stairs, parking permits, and the fine print physician families missThe "do not move" box: passports, jewelry, electronics, and what should never touch a moving truckWhy air tags in a couple of boxes are now a non-negotiable for cross-country movesThe 60-cents-per-pound reimbursement rule, and why renter's or homeowner's insurance during a move is worth keepingA color-coded labeling system that lets movers place every box and piece of furniture without a single "where does this go?"Why mail forwarding fails for the documents that matter — and which institutions to call directlyHow a planned move protects the energy of the home you're moving into What Makes This Episode Different A physician spouse who has moved through every training stage — residency, fellowship, first attending, and final relocation — and turned the lessons into a working systemPractical, granular logistics most relocation conversations skip: questions to ask movers, contract red flags, two-truck transfers, and the realities of long-distance moving company subcontractingA hosting tip from real life: schedule a birthday party two weeks after move-in and watch every box get unpackedA frank look at how a chaotic move imprints on a home — and why a calm, planned arrival changes the energy of the space you're walking intoA sister-podcast collaboration with The Medcommon and Moving Medicine Partners for matching-season residents who need help relocating, finding housing, and rebuilding community About the Guest Lisa Alemi is the founder of Move Mama Move and a physician spouse who has relocated across San Francisco, Seattle, Kansas City, and Los Angeles over the course of her husband’s general surgery training and attending career. Now done with training and settled in LA, Lisa knows firsthand how long it can take to find community after each move — and how much of that depends on creating a home that actually works for the family living in it. After cross-country moving with a six-month-old and finding nothing online comprehensive enough to actually use, she built the planner she had been searching for. Today, Move Mama Move offers three versions of the planner — a Relocation Planner, a Home Search & Relocation Planner, and a premium gift edition — all designed to take the guesswork, anxiety, and emotional cost out of physician-family moves so families can show up to their next home feeling grounded instead of frayed.

  • Reinventing Herself After the Move — A Physician Spouse's Honest Story — Ep17

    Reinventing Herself After the Move — A Physician Spouse's Honest Story — Ep17
    Apr 27 2026
    This episode is sponsored by Bob at Truist, who works closely with physicians and medical families navigating big financial decisions — especially around relocation, home buying, and long-term planning. If you're making a move, stepping into a new role, or just want clarity around how your money fits into your life, Bob brings a calm, strategic approach that's built for people with complex careers. You can connect directly with Bob — http://www.truist.com/bob.hall — Episode Summary Leslie Mathews has worn a lot of hats — brain injury speech pathologist, attorney, health administrator, photographer, physician spouse, and now therapist, coach, and podcast host. Her path through her now ex-husband's training years, a relocation to the Tampa Bay area for his first attending role, and the long process of rebuilding her own career on the other side of divorce is a story most physician families will recognize: the year apart while one spouse went ahead, the rushed home purchase that became a years-long renovation, and the slow erosion of identity that comes when a hard-earned career gets shelved for the family's needs. Now based in St. Petersburg, Florida and working with women navigating divorce, career pivots, and trauma recovery, Leslie talks openly about what she'd do differently — and what she wants every physician spouse to hear. Host Zoe Taylor and Leslie cover the residency-era condo purchase, the site-unseen pressure of the first attending move, the gutted Florida house that nearly broke them, and the grief of selling a home you raised your kids in. They cover: Why a one-year geographic separation between training and the first attending year is one of the most underestimated risks in physician relocationThe 'we'll just gut it' trap — buying a home before you know the city, the contractors, or the climateWhy physician families often buy too fast at the attending stage, and the average tenure at a first job that should change the mathThe identity erosion of the physician spouse — and the body's quiet warning signs (inflammation, autoimmune flares, migraines) that something is offBuying a house to feel rooted, and how a major renovation can pile pressure onto a family already running on fumesGrieving the family home: why selling can feel like a third party in a divorce, and why it's often the cleanest path forwardHow nervous-system literacy and modalities like EMDR and Internal Family Systems are changing the way she works with couples and individuals What Makes This Episode Different A physician spouse who has lived every stage — the training years, multiple fellowships, the geographic split, the attending-year reset, and the rebuild on the other sideA therapist's lens on the real estate decisions physician families make under pressure — and the ones they later wish they could undoHonest talk about the 'doctor's wife' identity, the loneliness behind the curated life, and why 'at least you have a beautiful house' is the wrong responseA reframing of the home as a nervous-system regulator — what it means when parts of your house feel peaceful and parts don'tPractical guidance for spouses standing at a crossroads, whether that's a career pivot, a relocation, or a season of personal reinvention About the Guest Leslie Mathews is a licensed psychotherapist, non-practicing attorney, and host of the Pulling Threads podcast. She began her career as a speech therapist specializing in brain injury and trauma before pivoting into healthcare law, earning a JD and a Master's in Health Administration from Saint Louis University. After fifteen years of marriage to an interventional cardiologist and a season of stepping back from her career to raise her family, Leslie returned to school during her divorce — pursuing training in health coaching, mindfulness, and clinical social work, and earning her MSW. Today, based in St. Petersburg, Florida, Leslie runs The LooM Life, where she offers therapy, coaching, and a unique form of divorce support. She works with women going through divorce and big life transitions, as well as physician and physician-spouse clients navigating the pressures of medical careers and family life. Her clinical work draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and polyvagal theory. Her mission, in her own words: to help people live more peaceful, grounded lives.

    From ER Residency to Real Estate: A Physician Wife's Ohio Story — Ep16

You can connect directly with Bob — truist.com/bob.hall — Episode Summary Mollie Marsh's path to real estate didn't start with real estate — it started with a college marriage, a stretch of years putting her husband through medical school in Charleston, and a season as a stay-at-home mom during ER residency in Ohio. Her husband had been encouraging her to get her real estate license for years. She finally said yes when her youngest was about to start kindergarten. Her only regret? Not doing it sooner. Now an attending-stage physician family settled in the Dayton/Cincinnati area, Mollie and her husband have traded in their plan to move back south for the community they've built in Ohio. She serves physician families across the region through NavX Realty, bringing the firsthand understanding only a physician wife can. In this episode, Zoe and Mollie talk about the realities of relocating during residency, the financial myths about doctors that deserve to be broken, and how raising a child with Down syndrome reshaped the way Mollie runs her business and connects with clients. They cover: Buying a home site-unseen for residency — and why that's still one of the hardest parts of the medical moveWhy pricing, not location, is now the bigger challenge for Dayton-area physician familiesThe myth that physicians have it all financially figured out — and what the journey actually costsHow raising a son with Down syndrome shaped Mollie's business philosophy and client relationshipsThe surprise of falling in love with Ohio after planning to return southWhat it's like to pivot from teacher to stay-at-home mom to realtor — and why her only regret was waitingServing physician families as someone who has lived every stage of the journey with them What Makes This Episode Different A physician spouse and realtor who has walked the full arc — undergrad, med school, residency, attending — and speaks from every seasonReal talk about the financial reality of becoming a doctor and why the 'doctors are rich' assumption gets in the way of smart decisionsA family-first lens shaped by raising a child with Down syndrome — and how that honesty translates into client relationshipsAn honest case for the Dayton/Cincinnati area as a long-term home for physician families, even for those who planned to leaveA former teacher (and former children's magician) who brings warmth, patience, and a genuine service mindset to every transaction About the Guest Mollie Marsh is a licensed real estate agent with NavX Realty, serving the Springboro, Ohio area and the greater Dayton/Cincinnati region. She is married to an ER physician and has walked the full medical journey alongside him — from undergrad in Greenville, SC, through medical school in Charleston, residency in Ohio, and now into the attending years. Before real estate, Mollie taught school while her husband was in medical school, and later stayed home with her three boys during his residency. Her oldest son has Down syndrome, an experience that has deeply shaped how she connects with families navigating the chaos of life and relocation. Mollie is known for her grounded, honest approach — bringing both the empathy of someone who has lived it and the professionalism of someone who takes the work of serving medical families seriously.

She never left. Neither did her love of the city. In this episode, Zoe and Tundi dig into what makes Iowa City such a surprisingly strong market for relocating physician families, how the university shapes everything from real estate cycles to school options, and why the 20-minute rule changes every assumption you might bring from a bigger city. They cover: Why Iowa City feels like 'Boulder brought down a notch' — and why that's a complimentThe real estate cycle driven by Match Day and what the third Friday of March means for buyers and sellersAverage home prices (~$325K) and what a resident's salary (~$68K) actually qualifies for in this marketIowa City's school landscape: 17 elementary schools, three high schools, private options, and an unusually strong homeschool support program through the public systemThe rental challenge — why August 1st lease starts don't line up with residency timelines and what to do about itIowa Medical Partners: a spouse/partner social organization founded in 1945 that also lists rentalsWhy buying beats renting financially for anyone staying three years or morePhysician loan options through local lenders for residents coming straight out of med schoolThe food scene, weather, pool season, and everything Californians need to prepare for What Makes This Episode Different A physician spouse who bought into Iowa City as a skeptic and never looked back — giving the honest, firsthand versionA real breakdown of the rental market mismatch and practical workarounds for incoming residentsInsight into Iowa Medical Partners, a resource most incoming families have never heard ofFrank talk on what 'affordable Midwest market' actually looks like at the ground level, with real numbersWhy the 20-minute rule flips the neighborhood decision entirely — commute time doesn't matter here About the Guest Tundi Brady is a Realtor with Urban Acres in Iowa City, Iowa, with 12 years in real estate and decades of firsthand experience as a physician spouse.

You can connect directly with Bob— http://www.truist.com/bob.hall — Episode Summary Before Matt Humphrey was showing homes to Mayo Clinic residents and fellows, he was playing high-stakes poker professionally for nearly two decades. That background — reading people, managing risk, staying even-keeled under pressure — turned out to be the perfect foundation for real estate in a city where the stakes feel personal. In this episode, Zoe and Matt dig into what makes Rochester, MN such a distinct real estate market, how physician relocation actually works at the ground level, and why the skills it takes to be a great agent are a lot closer to poker than most people realize. They cover: Why Rochester's rental market often costs more than buying — and what that means for residents and fellows who think they're 'just here for three years'The condo crisis downtown and what makes a purchase un-warrantableHow the Elton Hills neighborhood became a sweet spot for incoming medical familiesThe $4 billion Destination Medical Center project and what it might mean for the marketWhy attendings fall into the 'big girl money' house trap — and how to avoid itWhat the 100/0 principle looks like in a service-driven businessMatt's Rochester Relocation Guide website and how it helps families land before they ever get on a plane What Makes This Episode Different A professional poker player's take on real estate negotiation — and why it's not about the poker faceAn honest breakdown of Rochester's condo market and the risks most buyers don't know aboutReal talk on lifestyle creep and the 'you deserve this' spiral that catches new attendings off guardWhy proximity to Mayo doesn't matter the way people think — because you're always closeThe 100/0 mindset: give everything, expect nothing, and still know your limits About the Guest Matt Humphrey is a Rochester, MN-based real estate agent with Engel & Völkers and the creator of RochesterRelocationGuide.com. After 18 years as a professional poker player — living in Denver, Miami, and eventually landing in Rochester when his wife matched at Mayo Clinic for her maternal fetal medicine fellowship — Matt transitioned into real estate and built a niche serving the physician community. His edge isn't just local knowledge. It's the ability to read people, manage high-stakes decisions without ego, and show up for clients on their schedule — not his. He's also a co-founder of Isabel's Impact, a foundation built to support families navigating the unimaginable.

You can connect directly with Bob— http://www.truist.com/bob.hall — Most real estate agents help you buy a house. Christian Beca used to decide where physicians would build their careers. That difference shows up immediately in this conversation. Before stepping into real estate, Christian spent 15+ years inside physician recruitment—working directly with hospitals, negotiating placements, and guiding doctors through one of the most disruptive transitions of their lives: relocation. Now, he’s on the other side of that same moment—helping physicians land not just the job, but the life that comes with it. In this episode, Zoe and Christian unpack what most people miss about physician moves: It’s not just about the offer—it’s about the ecosystem. They break down how Raleigh quietly became a magnet for physicians, why the Triangle (Duke, UNC, Chapel Hill) creates a unique housing dynamic, and how your hospital system often dictates your lifestyle more than your salary. But where this episode really hits is strategy. Christian walks through what he’s seeing in real time: Residents stretching into homeownership earlier than expectedPhysicians leveraging location to build equity fastAnd how small geographic decisions (literally 20–30 minutes apart) can completely change your day-to-day life What Makes This Episode Different A recruiter’s perspective on relocation—not just a realtor’sWhy Raleigh isn’t just “growing”—it’s strategically attracting physiciansThe real reason Duke vs. UNC matters for where you liveHow physician moves are driven by lifestyle fit—not just compensationWhy early homeownership during residency is becoming more common (and smarter) About the Guest Christian Beca is a Raleigh-based real estate agent with The Coley Group and a former physician recruiter who spent over 15 years placing doctors across the country. After building and selling his recruitment company, he transitioned into real estate—bringing a rare, insider understanding of how physicians make relocation decisions. Today, he specializes in helping physicians navigate moves into the Raleigh-Durham area, combining market expertise with firsthand knowledge of the medical hiring landscape. 🌐 Website: thecoleygroup.com📧 Email: christian@thecoleygroup.com📞 Phone: (214) 901-6354📍 Location: Raleigh, NC📸 Instagram: @christian.beca | @gretchencoleygroup💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-beca-67537b94 About the Show The Moving Medicine Podcast is a space for physicians and physician spouses navigating relocation—not as a transaction, but as a life transition.
