Welcome back to the Mindset Magic with Mika podcast, you stellar soul! ✨

Feeling overwhelmed by how much there is to memorize? Wondering if it’s too late to catch up? Or maybe you’re doubting if you’re even the “topnotcher type”?

In this grounded, inspiring episode, I sit down with IDr. Jam Alba, Top 6 of the 2024 Interior Design Licensure Exam, who shares how she prepped for the board with a mix of flashcards, faith, and mindset magic—without relying on a formal review center.

🎙️ Inside the episode: 

✨ Jam’s flashcard technique that actually works

 ✨ How she handled stress emotionally, mentally, and spiritually

 ✨ Time-saving design tips (like using just a 2B pencil for flexible linework)

 ✨ Why she aimed to top the exam—not out of pressure, but from purpose

 ✨ What changed (and didn’t) after becoming a topnotcher

This episode is your permission to slow down, trust your approach, and infuse meaning into every step of your journey—even the stressful ones. Whether you're a perfectionist, procrastinator, or somewhere in between, this one’s for you.
