Episode 102 // Managing Stress & Building Your Own Brand as a Pharmacy Student

#pharmacyschool can create a lot of excellent opportunities…and challenges. #Anxiety is one of the biggest obstacles that pharmacy students face—especially for those looking to really dive deep and grow early on in their career. While every pharmacy student faces anxiety in one form or another, nobody is really talking about it or sharing practical strategies for HOW to overcome one of the biggest emotional barriers faced in pharmacy school. That’s why in this episode I am excited to share the story of a pharmacy student I met when I was in Ireland speaking at Trinity College at Dublin, Lauren O’Reilly. In addition to being a full-time student, Lauren is the creator of her blog, Daily Dose of Ginger, which she created to share her knowledge and passion around promoting healthy habits, shedding some light on common health misconceptions, as well as sharing my own experiences as a pharmacy student. With experience in the community, hospital, and research settings of pharmacy, her passions for health topics run deep, including promoting positive mental health and reducing the stigma around mental illness. Listen in as we share these tips straight from Ireland for how YOU can overcome anxiety and implement these simple habits we share in this week’s episode! Resources Mentioned in this Podcast: 1.
