    TMJ 244: I Signed My Contract 🩺 - [What’s Coming Next]

    Why did I disappear for three months when everything seemed to be moving forward? 

    I stepped away to recalibrate my priorities and rebuild my systems.That quiet time forced me to grow in ways I could not have managed while constantly posting. 

    I am coming back with more clarity, stronger direction, and content that reflects who I am now. This next chapter is more intentional, more honest, and more aligned with what I truly want to share. 

    Thank you for staying, and I cannot wait to show you what is coming next.

    TMJ 239 - Big Beautiful Bill - Ugly For Healthcare

    What happens when the government caps your student loans, slashes Medicaid funding, and phases out the repayment plans we’ve all relied on?

    That’s not a “what if” — it’s already happening. This isn’t just about the system breaking. It’s about how it breaks the students, doctors, and future providers trying to fix it.

    Whether you’re premed, in training, or already practicing — this bill directly impacts you. I break down what’s changing, what’s at risk, and how you can start protecting yourself now. Let’s stay informed. Let’s advocate.

    TMJ 238 - The Grocery Store Analogy

    Have you ever walked into a grocery store with no list and hoped for the best? 

    I used to approach studying the same way: no plan, just the pressure to be "productive." But, I realized I didn’t need to study harder—I needed a system. That’s when everything changed. 

    In this video, I’ll walk you through “The Grocery Store Analogy” and how shifting from chaos to a checklist transformed my learning and my results.

    TMJ 235 - The Bus Stop Analogy

    Have you ever felt like you're falling behind on your medical journey, no matter how hard you try?

    I’ve been there—exhausted, stuck, and wondering if I was even meant for this path. But there’s one mindset shift that got me through those moments, and I call it The Bus Stop Analogy. I learned that success doesn’t come when it’s convenient—it shows up when you’re prepared, even if no one’s watching.

    If you want to know more about The Bus Stop Analogy, this podcast is for you.
