Listen in as Samara shares her laborious journey to becoming a registered dietician and how a close encounter with the Virginia Tech mass shooting helps keep her focused on what really matters in life and her career.

 

 

We dig deep into how scary it can be to leave the security of a full-time job and how to know when it’s time to leave it; the benefits of working a part-time job, including connecting with other people, networking, being able to do the work and leave, and gaining practical experience in a similar field. We also dig deep into re-framing perfectionism, the importance of prioritizing your own health and happiness; how being super busy doesn’t mean we are being productive; the importance of really making your time count by working smarter, not harder; and never burn a bridge in your career regardless of where you think you might go.
