Dr. Ineke Meredith was raised in Samoa; she came to New Zealand to study medicine.
Then she got pregnant and gave birth to a son just has she was preparing for her final exams.
Being the force of nature she is, she managed to give birth on a Monday then sit her exam on the Friday. Then juggle being a mum while working as an emergency surgeon. This is part of the Ineke Meredith story.
+ BTS of the operating theatre including what music she listens to in theatre and the snacks she eats in the middle of long surgeries. All the important stuff!
+ The emotional toll of medicine and coping with grief and burnout.
+ The complicated relationship with her abusive dad.
+ And how she ended up living in Paris making a skincare range…for dogs.
I loved this conversation. It is packed with humor and wisdom from an incredible woman who has literally saved lives.
Dr.Meredith truly is a woman who lives passionately and purposefully.
