Hey friends, today marks my eighth year on YouTube. Yep, I’ve now officially been a YouTuber longer than I was a doctor, which is as weird for me to say as it is for you to hear. In this video, I’m sharing the honest lessons and unexpected identity shifts that come from trading scrubs for scripts, and what eight years of making videos has really taught me about creativity, career pivots, and finding your thing (even if you never had a plan). Hope you enjoy xx
