Season 2 - Episode 2 - How Entrepreneurs Can Achieve Work-Life Balance In 2021
On this episode of Boss Up Talk, Tee Westbrook sits down with Dr. Eva Dr. Eva is an Internal Medicine Hospitalist, meaning she works only in the hospital setting and only sees adult medicine. She recently published a book titled, “Paging Doctor You” and is the co-owner of Dramatically Real, a lipstick company. Dr. Eva is a wife, a mother of three kids (ages 12, 9, and 7) and of course, a successful Black female entrepreneur. Dr. Eva gives the inside scoop on how to become a successful candidate when applying for undergraduate or graduate school. She shares a short story about her college experience where her school counselor subliminally belittled her success. Unfortunately, this is a common trend for teacher-student relationships when there is an ethnic barrier. Dr. Eva emphasizes that if she did not have the support of her friends and family, telling her “don’t listen to them,” she probably would have quit. You do not need the best GPA, or straight A’s to go to medical school. Follow Cool Girls Create: https://www.instagram.com/coolgirlscreate1 https://www.facebook.com/coolgirlscre...
