In this honest and heartfelt episode, I open up about how I navigate the delicate balance between school and life—and how that definition of balance has evolved during one of the busiest seasons of my life.

Fresh off completing my first year of optometry school and stepping into clinical work, I’m juggling more roles than ever before. I’m not here to pretend I have it all figured out. Instead, I’m sharing the honest truth: balance looks different for everyone.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

- What balance really means—and how it shifts depending on your season of life

- My personal non-negotiables that keep me grounded

- The struggles I’ve faced (hello, perfectionism and people-pleasing)

- Practical tips to assess and redefine balance for yourself

Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or simply someone who feels like they’re being pulled in too many directions, this episode will remind you that balance isn’t about doing it all perfectly. It’s about doing what matters most—and giving yourself grace along the way.
