AWP: Bookstagrams & Burnout: Dr. Kriti Bhagat on Reading, Writing, and Real-Life Optometry


Listen Later

Dr. Kriti Bhagat joins the podcast to explore the intersection of optometry and her deep passion for reading. From launching a successful bookstagram during COVID to editing pre-release manuscripts for major publishers, Kriti shares how books help her decompress, connect with others, and become a better leader. We also dive into burnout, business ownership, favorite reads, and how fiction and nonfiction alike shape identity and creativity beyond the exam room.
