11 years as a chiropractor this year, and honestly, there was a point I almost didn't make it here at all.
Right before my finals, I remember telling myself I didn't want to sit the exams (this was my 2nd chance, a re-sit as I failed one TINY (lol) exam by 1 point). I would've rather done almost anything else. I wasn't in the best headspace, and it was one of the hardest stretches of my whole degree.
But I kept going (or was forced to keep going, who knows at this point). Graduated, got married, moved to Singapore, did my postgrad in paediatric chiropractic, and opened our practice, which just hit over 2 years too. Thanks Radiah the Chiropractor for trusting our crazy!!
What people don't always see is everything that happens behind the scenes to keep it running. Replying to messages at 7am. An urgent text at 10pm from a worried parent. Using our "off" days to learn, plan, or work on things that make your visits better. Right now that's a certification to become PX Docs Dr. Tony Ebel | Network of Pediatric Nervous System Experts approved, because there's always something worth learning.
It hasn't been a straight line, and it definitely wasn't always easy. But every part of it got me here.
Sharing this one felt vulnerable, but also important π
