Growth Through Challenge

BUNDLE OF HERS is a podcast dedicated to amplifying underspoken voices and stories in medicine. Our journey is a continuous exploration of discoveries, where identity growth, defining moments, and ongoing self-understanding take center focus.

Season eight explores how challenges in medicine—whether personal, professional, or systemic—serve as opportunities for growth, self-reflection, and deeper understanding. Through stories of perseverance, resilience, and adaptation, our hosts and guests share how they've navigated the obstacles in their paths and how these moments have shaped their identities in medicine. This season delves into the pivotal moments where struggle meets growth, and how embracing these challenges can lead to a more empowered and self-aware practice of medicine.

By continuing to hold space for vulnerability and authenticity, medical residents and students Hạ Lê, Lilly Kanishka, Laurel Hiatt, Austen Ivey, and Sanila Math invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences within and beyond medicine. Each episode aims to spark dialogue, challenge assumptions, and remind us that growth often begins in the moments we least expect.

BUNDLE OF HERS has been recognized for excellence in storytelling and for uplifting representation in medicine. Honors include the 2025 Golden Spike Award for Most Effective Storytelling, the Distinction Award for Best Healthcare Podcast at the 2019 eHealthcare Leadership Awards, and multiple AAMC GIA Awards for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives (Silver in 2021 and Bronze in 2024).

Hạ Lê, MD

When Hạ isn't reading at a local coffee shop or jamming to K-pop on waterfront runs, she is searching for the best way to center community and narratives in her work—an interest that has followed her from her hometown in SLC to both U.S. coasts in Boston and SF. Her interest in medicine, in fact, derives from the stories of her communities navigating complex systems to assert their unique voices: from her Vietnamese immigrant mother advocating for her family's health to the queer patients who found comfort when met with patient-centered care. She aspires to center health justice on the transformative power of storytelling as a means for collective movement and empowerment.

Lilly Kanishka, MD

Lilly is an avid spinner, pottery maker, dog mom, rock climber, yogi, and book lover, alongside her role as a neurology resident. Born and raised in Utah to Afghan refugee parents, Lilly's childhood experiences of interpreting for her family at doctors' visits instilled in her the importance of advocacy in healthcare, particularly in addressing inequities faced by marginalized communities. Motivated by the power and privilege associated with the white coat, Lilly was drawn to medicine as a means to further advocate for her community's needs.
