MY STORY

Growing up a perfectionist and high achiever, I wanted to please and perform for everyone around me. I was listening to every other voice but never checked in with myself. It wasn’t until years after college, grad school, and a stare down with depression that I finally asked myself what I wanted from my life.

The slow process of shedding lots of external and self-imposed expectations began, and now the sentence “I’m a physician assistant turned podcast producer” is a part of my life story. It’s definitely not anything I ever imagined for myself, but it’s a very welcomed happy surprise.

After visiting and connecting with college students, I’ve realized there is a massive need and want for students to hear this message — you can shed the expectations placed upon you and be fearless pursuing change!
