This week on HotRod Mess, Angie sits down with the powerhouse herself — Dr. Tara Chute, an OB/GYN turned unstoppable businesswoman — to talk about what it really takes to walk away from the comfort zone, chase freedom, and rebuild life on your own terms.

Tara opens up about the moments that pushed her over the edge — the endless hospital hours, the rotating shifts, the pressure to always be “on,” and the burnout that comes when you’re pouring into everyone else and forgetting to refill your own cup. She didn’t change her profession… she changed the rules of how it was played.

Now the doctor is the boss, calling her own shots, creating her dream practice, and finally designing a career that fits her life instead of the other way around. We dive deep into what that transition looked like — from the scary first steps to the eye-opening lessons, and the unfiltered reality of what it means to become your own CEO while still being a mom, wife, and woman trying to find a little peace in the chaos.

Tara shares how her husband became her rock through the entire journey — the late-night talks, the doubts, the risks, and the support that made her leap possible. Their dynamic is raw, honest, and inspiring. Together, they flipped the script — proving that success doesn’t always mean sacrificing your sanity or your family.

You’ll hear Tara’s take on the learning curves that hit hardest: the business side no med school ever teaches you, the self-doubt that creeps in when you step outside the system, and the joy of watching patients find her again — not in a hospital hallway, but in a space she built from the ground up with heart, hustle, and hope.

If you’ve ever dreamed of breaking free from the burnout, starting your own thing, or just wondering what happens when a woman decides enough is enough — this episode is for you. It’s about courage, balance, messy growth, and rediscovering what “having it all” really means when you build it your way.

So buckle up, because this is not your polished-perfect-doctor story. It’s a HotRod Mess of reinvention, resilience, and real-life lessons from a woman who traded exhaustion for empowerment — without ever giving up her purpose.

Grab your coffee, pour some chaos, and join Angie and Dr. Tara Chute for a raw conversation that’ll make you laugh, nod, and maybe even rethink what’s next for you.
