And I had always said no, because I was working as a full-time academic anesthesiologist and I had twin toddlers that were potty training at home. And I just said, no, it's not for me. I had never seen the show before, but I knew what it was. And my take on the show was that it was a bunch of middle-aged women arguing and going to parties and things like that.

And I just thought that it wasn't for me. But then around 35 ish, my husband says that I had my midlife crisis and that's when I felt a little bit lost. I was doing a little bit of soul searching and my friend came knocking again. And she said, the producers really want to talk to you. They think you'd be perfect for the show. Will you just have a conversation with them?

And I said, fine, I can't promise anything, but I'll talk to them. So of course, one thing led to another. And I got the call in 2021. that they wanted me to be the newest Real Housewife of Dallas. And I had all but forgotten about it since having the Zoom meeting like a month prior. And I didn't really think I would get picked. I really didn't. And then I had a lot to contemplate.

I made an Excel spreadsheet of the pros and cons of joining Real Housewives because that's basically how I make all my important decisions in life. Primary of concern was how it would impact my professional reputation because I've been working my whole life to be where I am now. I work at a medical school. I have medical students and residents who look up to me. Patients, obviously.

But I talked to my husband about it and he said, babe, I'm not worried because you always handle yourself well. Like these women aren't going to ruffle your feathers. Like just be yourself. They can't put words in your mouth. They can only show what you do and say. And I think that you'll be fine. I think that you'll not embarrass yourself. I don't know if that ended up coming true.

People who have watched season five can opine on that. But overall, I am glad that I did the show because it gave me a lot of exposure. And now I can talk about things that are really important to me, like gender equity in the workplace and helping with a lot of charity organizations that I work with here in Dallas.

Actually, one of the chapters in the book is all about Real Housewives. And one of the segments is about if the show is scripted or not. So I'll give you a little spoiler alert, but you have to read the book to find out the rest. It's not scripted, but Real Housewives in particular is very heavily produced. So you have these producers whispering in your ear, hey, don't forget to bring up this.

Don't forget to talk about this. And they egg you on to have some moments of conflict, if you will. But they never give you lines. They never say, oh, you have to say X, Y, and Z. But they basically tell you that you need to talk about something.
