About this episode

Dr. Tiffany Moon isn’t just breaking stereotypes — she’s rewriting the script.

 

In this episode, Dr. Tiffany Moon — board-certified anesthesiologist, founder of Aromasthesia, and former cast member of Bravo’s Real Housewives — opens up about what it really takes to balance ambition, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and public scrutiny.

 

From immigrating to the U.S. at age 6 to graduating from college at 19 and medical school at 23, where she finished in the top ten percent of her class, to launching a wellness brand rooted in science and self-care, Tiffany’s story is as raw and relatable as it is inspiring.

 

We cover:

  • The culture of overachievement and how it can become an emotional cage

  • The silent weight of perfectionism in high-achieving women

  • How childhood trauma shaped her relentless drive and how she’s healing from it

  • Why asking for help isn’t a weakness — it’s a strategy

  • The behind-the-scenes reality of being a doctor and a reality TV personality

  • Why she’s choosing presence over perfection in parenting, career, and business

 

Plus:

  • Why even the most “put-together” people struggle with self-worth

  • How Tiffany balances a medical career with being a mother, wife, and founder

  • Why her social media presence is as real as it gets and why that matters

 

Tiffany also shares the surprising impact of being on reality TV, not on her brand, but on her identity, and why she now uses her platform to champion authenticity, self-care, and breaking generational cycles.

 

This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about legacy, self-awareness, and the courage to define success on your own terms. 

 

Tiffany Moon, MD, is a board-certified anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, mother of twins, and author of Joy Prescriptions: How I Learned to Stop Chasing Perfection and Embrace Connection. She is also the founder and CEO of Aromasthesia Candles, Three Moons Wine, and LeadHer Summit. Tiffany has published over fifty peer-reviewed articles, is one of D Magazine’s “Best Doctors,” and serves as an Oral Board Examiner for the American Board of Anesthesiology. She was the first medical doctor and Chinese American cast member on Bravo’s Real Housewives. Her story has been featured in Forbes, Variety, Harper’s Bazaar, USA Today, and more. She lives with her family in Dallas, TX.
