Informative and Interesting

I am a college student who has recently hit a slump in productivity and motivation. Listening to these young women talking about their academic paths and their roads to success despite various barriers has given me a new surge of motivation.

Love this podcast. I’m a senior in high school planning to go pre med in college and become a surgeon. I love listening to Call Her Doctor in my free time; it makes me feel so productive and like I’m getting a head start on my long journey ahead to med school. Also this name is so clever haha
