RMT to PA: Switching Careers & Turning ‘No’ into PA Acceptance | Sarah, McMaster PA-S2

What happens when your first PA school application ends in heartbreak, but you still know you’re meant for this path?

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Floyd, a second-year PA student at McMaster University and former registered massage therapist, who opens up about her powerful journey from rejection to acceptance. Sarah shares how she navigated a “no” the first time she applied, the personal loss that shaped her mindset, and what she did differently the second time around to walk into her interviews fully prepared and walk out with an offer.

We dive into how she transitioned careers, what it’s really like being an older student in PA school, and how she’s managing to plan a wedding while completing clinicals. Her story is honest, motivating, and packed with wisdom for anyone wondering if it’s too late to start over.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, uncertain, or stuck—this episode is your reminder to keep going.
