Mehr Hey Rx Friends, We Got This!

Welcome to the “Hey Rx Friends, We Got This!” podcast where we share our thoughts on the pharmacy profession, experiences as healthcare providers, and explore our identities as two women of color going after it all. We met during our entrepreneurial journeys. Our shared interest in becoming business owners and rejecting the traditional roles of pharmacy led to a friendship and now this collaboration. Our shared passion for helping others has given life to this beautiful podcast. As we share our stories, we hope you laugh, maybe cry, and feel inspired, as you get to know us.

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. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Chapters 00:00 Intro 03:26 2014 Failure to match 06:09 2015 Falling behind in pharmacy school 08:56 2016 Crying at work 13:00 2017 Handling relationship during transitional period 16:20 2018 My life outside of pharmacy 18:41 2019 The challenges of pharmacy leadership 25:24 2020 Healthcare is traumatizing 34:56 2021 Coming out as an entrepreneur 41:38 2022 Going viral was not it 45:46 2023 Reinvention requires a step back 53:06 Final thoughts ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Follow us on social media ▷Hey Rx Friends, We Got This! https://linktr.ee/Heyrxfriends Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyrxfriendswgt [https://www.instagram.com/heyrxfriendswgt] TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heyrxfriendswgt YouTube: Hey Friends We Got This ▷Thu https://linktr.ee/empoweredpharmd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empowered.pharmd/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tn-empowered-pharmd [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tn-empowered-pharmd] Substack: https://drthurx.substack.com/ ▷Saley: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reziprep360 [https://www.instagram.com/reziprep360] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/straore1 [http://www.linkedin.com/in/straore1] TikTok: https://www.linkedin.com/in/straore1 [http://www.linkedin.com/in/straore1] X: ReziPrep360 YouTube: @ReziPrep360 Business inquiries: heyrxfriendswegotthis@gmail.com [heyrxfriendswegotthis@gmail.com] Disclaimer: All opinions are our own.
