She Followed “The Path”… But Knew There Was More - An interview with Kristeen Barker

In this episode of Unfiltered Conversations, I have the pleasure of interviewing Kristeen Barker, a nephrologist, educator and podcaster out of Australia. Kristeen explains how she knew she could be doing more, even after reaching the exact goal she had worked years for. She shares what it looked like to follow that internal pull instead of continuing down a path that didn’t feel right—and how that decision led her to build something completely her own. We get into the real stuff… What it feels like to realize the “end goal” isn’t actually it How to trust yourself when everyone around you is telling you to do something different The uncomfortable reality of putting yourself out there and not knowing how it’s going to land And why learning to pivot quickly might be the most important skill you can develop There’s a moment in this conversation where we talk about tying happiness to an outcome—and how dangerous that can be. Because so many women are chasing something thinking that’s when life will finally feel right. This conversation is honest. It’s real. And it’s a reminder that just because something looks right on paper doesn’t mean it’s right for you. If you’ve been feeling that pull to do something different… don’t ignore it.   Follow Kristeen on Instagram @renaltutorials Follow Kristeen on YouTube @Tutorials by Kristeen Barker Follow Kristeen's Podcast "Am I Doing It Wrong?
