In a recent Instagram poll of the GGW community, 93% of 120 respondents shared that their health had been negatively impacted while in grad school. This was prompted by a highly popular post by @becomingadoctora, a soon to be PhD in school psychology who developed a number of physical health issues including migraines and carpal tunnel syndrome all while pursuing graduate studies. 

On this episode we discuss: 

• The interconnection between physical and mental health
• Going to therapy
• Being mindful of reoccurring symptoms 
• Changing your mindset around what you have time for
• How to crate healthy habits throughout the duration of grad school 

In short, this episode is a PSA to schedule your doctor appointments the same way that you schedule school assignments.
