In this episode of Coffee Walk MD, Brian and Brittany kick off the new year with an honest, unfiltered conversation about marriage, money anxiety, modern culture, and why coffee walks have become such a grounding ritual in their relationship.

They talk about what’s been on their minds lately — from chronic dry eye struggles and Substack dreams to concerns about the economy feeling like a “death rally.” Along the way, they dive into current events, reflect on entrepreneurship and physician burnout, and share what they’re dreaming about for the year ahead.

The episode takes a heart-melting turn when their daughter, Tinsley, joins the conversation — delivering laugh-out-loud honesty about having doctors as parents, coffee preferences, hopscotch grievances, and big dreams for her future.

They wrap things up by pulling back the curtain on business ownership, the emotional weight physicians carry in the emergency department, and the reality of social support gaps in the U.S. healthcare system.

As always, this Coffee Walk is about connection, communication, and saying the things that usually stay in your head.
