Ep64 Healthcare, Small Business, and the Money Nobody Talks About with Dr. Danielle Miller

On this episode of Your Financial Maven®, Samantha talks with Dr. Danielle Miller, family physician and founder of Luz Medicine — a practice whose name means "light," fitting for one built on transparency in an industry that often keeps patients in the dark. Together they connect healthcare and financial empowerment, starting with a hard truth: medical bills remain a leading cause of bankruptcy. Dr. Miller shares how she went from reluctant business owner to scaling Luz Medicine to a second Lancaster County location, and why finding a financial advisor who understands your industry is a small business owner's most important first step. The conversation digs into what's really driving healthcare costs — routine labs that cost a few dollars but get billed at a hundred and fifty — and why price transparency matters for your family's budget. They also explore the financial and diagnostic barriers women face, and how stewardship and decency shape the way a community spends. Whether you're running a small business or navigating rising healthcare costs, this is a conversation about advocating for yourself on both fronts.
