Doctorate, Diapers & Deadlines: Becoming Dr. Ree

This isn’t just the story of earning a degree, t’s the story of showing up for yourself even when life tries to knock you off course. In this episode of CTRL+ALT+REE, I’m discussing my journey to becoming Dr. Ree. The detours, the delays, and the determination it took to get here. From pausing my program after a Crohn’s diagnosis to reapplying in 2023 while raising my son and working full-time, every step was a lesson in grace, patience, and courage. It’s not a perfect story; it’s a real one. My hope is that it reminds you that your dreams don’t expire, even if the timeline changes. You don’t have to be perfect, just stay consistent and patient.If this episode resonated with you, be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast platform, leave a quick review, and share it with someone who needs it.
