About this episode
Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Dr. Rena Malik, a board-certified urologist and passionate educator known for breaking down stigmas around health and the human body. Dr. Malik shares her inspiring story of grit and resilience, shaped by her immigrant parents who came to the U.S. from India with just $1,500 and built a new life from the ground up. Together, they explore how her upbringing fueled her drive to succeed and eventually led her to a career in medicine. Dr. Malik opens up about her unexpected path to becoming a urologist, a field she chose for its hands-on nature and positive work culture, and how she found her professional “tribe” among those unafraid to talk about topics others shy away from. The conversation dives into the importance of communication around so-called “taboo” subjects, especially in healthcare, and how normalizing those discussions leads to better outcomes and well-being. With humor, honesty, and heart, this episode offers a refreshing take on resilience, cultural identity, and breaking barriers—both personal and professional.
