We’re hitting the "fast-forward" button! ⏩

While we’ve been sharing our journey consistently, this bonus episode jumps the timeline a bit to bring you exactly where we are today. We filmed this "tagup" about a month ago to bridge the gap between our pregnancy episodes and our new reality as parents.

Heads up: You’ll still hear us referencing our old name in this clip! We wanted to share this raw update as it happened, name change and all.

In this tagup:

• From pregnancy to postpartum: The transition.

• Why we're jumping ahead in the story.

• A final nod to 'Married to Medicine' as we move forward.

Thanks for following the journey, even when the timeline gets a little wild!

Dr. Cory Bryan and his wife, Cara Bryan, join Marriage & Medicine to share their journey through pediatric orthopedic surgery and how it has shaped their relationship.

Pediatric orthopedics is one of the longest and most demanding paths in medicine. Cory talks about what drew him to this specialty, the years of training it requires, and what it actually looks like day to day. Cara shares what it was like to walk through that season alongside him, from long hours and uncertainty to the growth that came with it.

This episode is not just about becoming a surgeon. It is about building a marriage while chasing something big.

If you are in medicine, married to someone in medicine, or just curious what this life really looks like, we hope this conversation encourages you.

🎙️ Marriage & Medicine

In this first episode of Marriage & Medicine, we’re sharing our story — how we met, how medicine quickly became part of our relationship, and why we felt called to start this podcast.

This episode was filmed in December 2024, and we’ve been holding it close for a while. During my pregnancy, I was extremely sick, and life required us to slow down more than we expected. This conversation marks the beginning of finally sharing what’s been unfolding behind the scenes.

Medicine has shaped our lives in ways we didn’t expect, from long nights and hard conversations to growth, faith, and learning how to show up for each other in the middle of uncertainty.

This podcast isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about honest conversations, real life behind medicine, and everything that happens along the way.

If you’re in medicine, love someone in medicine, or are just curious about what this path really looks like — welcome. We’re glad you’re here 🤍

We’re building a marriage in the middle of medical training — where the schedule changes weekly and the “real life” parts don’t pause.

This is our space to talk through the quiet pressure, the big pivots, and the moments that shape you when no one’s watching.

New episodes start February 2. Follow the show and come with us.
