Fantastic, informative, a breath of fresh air

I am really grateful for this podcast! As a young first gen girl trying to take on the mcat and med school applications it can be easy to get overwhelmed. Really enjoyed hearing that we all struggle but ultimately are able to overcome it. I just listened to the episode with Claire- I had no idea they were cousins. Best of luck to you both :) you are/ will be fantastic Doctors because your hearts are in the right place and you are bright!

Wholesome!

I️ totally recommend this podcast! Kelly feels different from other med school “influencers”. She feels like a real person like me or my peers. She doesn’t sugar coat things and she does idealize med school or the application process. She also lets you know that having a life outside of school is possibly and necessary. 5 stars :)

P. Wiseman ,

Truly inspiring

I 100% recommend not only this podcast but her social media pages to anyone looking for someone to look up to! This podcast was such an eye opener for me! She is so authentic and truthful throughout the entire thing and gives the real truth behind the medical school journey. As a first year pre-med student I was looking for someone to follow and be inspired by and Kelly has definitely done that for me. You can see all the hard work she puts into the podcast and her Instagram pages. I found her at the perfect time. I look forward to all the advice she will be giving out!
