Welcome back to the Mindset Magic with Mika podcast, you stellar soul! ✨
In this episode, I’m joined by IDr. Andrea Lim, Top 9 in the 2023 Interior Designers Licensure Exam, to talk about preparing for the board without burning out—and why your exam result doesn’t define your entire career.
🎙️ What we talked about:
✨ How Andrea used active note-taking + self-review to study smarter
✨ Her go-to tools for the drawing portion (and how to show texture, fast!)
✨ Why she saw the exam as a personal challenge, not a high-stakes moment
✨ Tips on managing expectations, stress, and staying true to your pace
✨ Why passing the board brought confidence—but didn’t magically change her path
This episode is for the creatives who want to do their best—and protect their peace. Andrea’s grounded, thoughtful approach will help you prep with clarity, not fear.
