Step into the gym where burnout, insurance friction and true prevention collide. In this Working Healthcare episode, host Meredith Hirsh sits down in-studio with personal trainer and entrepreneur Carolina Romero, who left Goldman Sachs, rebuilt her career and grew Fit Golfer Girl to more than 250,000 Instagram followers. Romero breaks down the real mechanics of a career change, from earning fitness certifications to building credibility one client at a time. She explains how one-on-one coaching can bridge the gap after physical therapy, improving form, consistency and confidence when patients feel stuck. The episode also tackles direct-pay healthcare-adjacent models, pricing your expertise, raising rates and the emotional whiplash of seasonality in South Florida. Meredith and Carolina get candid about millennial ambition, incentives, burnout and the fine line between being scrappy and being exploited. Take a breath, set a boundary, then make your move.
