In this special episode, I sit down with my daughter, Mia, to talk about her journey preparing for the MCAT — one of the most challenging exams for future doctors. Together, we explore the fears, frustrations, and breakthroughs she experienced along the way, and what her process taught her about resilience and growth.
Mia shares how she learned to adapt her study strategies, face fear head-on, and keep moving forward when things felt overwhelming. We also discuss why staying stagnant is riskier than trying something new, how to quiet the fear of change, and the mindset shifts that can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
If you’re navigating a big challenge or simply need a reminder of the power of adaptability and persistence, this episode is for you.
