6. Part 1: The learning curve of adulting, with Brooklynne Palmer from @beetsbybrooke - a podcast by Valerie Rocio

Brooklynne Palmer is a vegan influencer, medical student, and a "huge science nerd". Having studied neuroscience and biology before, her transition to medical school only happened through her discovery of veganism. In her words, the plant-based diet gave her "a personal calling to explore how diet affects so much of medicine and yet it wasn't emphasized in medicine".

In part one of this episode, Valerie and Brooklynne discuss her advocacy for finding a healthy lifestyle that matches people's individual lifestyle (not trends), worthing through college to support herself, and the taboos of changing career fields.

Brooklynne opens up about her relationship with social media, and how she is using it to change behaviors in her community.

Key takeaways from this episode:
-Just because you don't find your passion in the traditional route, it doesn't mean you're not going to find it all. Being open-minded to change and active will benefit you in the long run.
-The more you fill your plate, the lower your capacity will be to really find out what works for you.
-Prioritizing mental health really helped Brooklynne with balance and her ability to push forward throughout your life.
-There's a dark and light side to social media and recognizing the dark and being mindful of how that affects you, is vital to everyone, no matter your age, field, or background.
-Evaluate how the accounts that you follow on social media make you feel. Mute or unfollow accounts that don't serve you, to give you only a positive, empowering environment.
-Stop counting the years that will take you to where you need to be. There are so many things that you can do along the journey that are going to make you happy, fulfilled, and allow you to touch people's lives.
