In this refreshingly honest episode, we chat with Dr. Meenal Agarwal, an Optometrist and private practice owner, about the mental health challenges that often come with life after optometry school.

Geared toward students and new grads, this conversation covers:
•What burnout really feels like and when to hit reset
•How to build a sustainable work/life balance by aligning yourself
•Setting boundaries with staff, patients, and even yourself
•Why it’s okay to not have it all figured out

Dr. Agarwal shares her own story, red flags to watch for, and her best advice for navigating your early years in practice with compassion and perspective.
