Five Key Takeaways

1. Resilience and perseverance are essential when facing setbacks, whether it's not matching for a residency or struggling in a new job. Giving yourself grace and support can help you bounce back.

2. Maintaining a strong identity and interests outside of pharmacy can prevent burnout and provide balance, even as your career progresses.

3. Taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone, like sharing your work publicly, can lead to unexpected opportunities for growth and connection.

4. Career transitions, even if they involve a step back, can open the door to fulfilling new paths that align with your values and aspirations.

5. Navigating personal loss and challenges requires tapping into your inner strength and faith, while also leaning on your support system. There is often purpose in the difficult moments.
