Ep 218 Small Wins and Big Results: Movement and Marriage with Dr. Sara Ionescu

As surgeons, we are trained to go big or go home.

• 45-minute workouts.
• Perfect outcomes.
• Hero-level stamina.

And when we can’t do it perfectly?
We often do nothing.

In this week’s episode of the BOSS Business of Surgery Series, I sat down with Dr. Sara Ionescu — family physician, movement coach, mother of five (ages 8 and under), and spouse of a general surgeon.

Her question can change how you think about goals:

“Can you find one minute a day to move?”

That simple question helped her patients transform their health — and helped her rebuild her own consistency after residency and multiple pregnancies.

We discuss:
• Why surgeons fall into “all-or-nothing” thinking
• How 5 minutes a day compounds into real results
• Why accountability matters more than motivation
• What surgeon spouses wish you understood
• And how small communication shifts can protect your marriage

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to prioritize your health or your relationship, this episode will challenge that thinking.

You don’t need more time.

You need a realistic starting point that gives compounded results.
