It has been way too long since we have done a solo episode and there is SO much to catch up on. Today we delve into the question I have been avoiding in my DMs, what are my post-grad plans? As I gear up to finish residency in just 4 weeks my brain is in the trenches of trying to figure out my next moves. So, today, we break some of that down together and normalize it is OK to take a break and it is OK to not know what your next steps are! - Journalling E- Book: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1133133677/you-are-not-too-busy-to-start-journaling - Campfire Circle: https://campfirecircle.org/volunteers/ SOCIALS Podcast: @youarenottobusypod (IG) Host: @noamrwellness (IG & Tik Tok) For business and other inquiries: [email protected]

I finished my FINAL day of medical. We are still waiting on match day results but next time I talk to a patient I will be introducing myself as "doctor"?! Wild. These past years of medical school have been the hardest, most transformative, wildest, and most rewarding years of my life. Thank you to all those who have followed my journey, truly your support has made the world of a difference <3  So, here are the top 10 lessons I've learned during my time in medical school. No, these aren't going to be about the kreb's cycle or physiology. I like to believe these lessons transcend the medical field and are pretty applicable to anyone in their early to mid-20s that is navigating career, friendships, self-confidence, and more.  P.S. this is a true candid stream of consciousness. I apologize in advance for the rambles :)  *DISCLAIMER: No information in this podcast constitutes medical, nutrition, or mental health advice.
