Summary

What really happens after you cross the stage and grab that optometry degree? In this episode, I sit down with two of my favorite people — Dr. Amanda Aker and Dr. Nestor Garcia — to have an honest conversation about life beyond graduation. Together we tackle some of the burning questions you’ve been asking: How do you navigate your first few years in practice? What should you prioritize when choosing where to work? How do you build a meaningful career while staying balanced personally and professionally? Whether you’re a current student, a new grad, or just someone curious about the next steps in the optometry world, this conversation is packed with insights, encouragement, and practical wisdom from two people who have walked the road ahead and are passionate about helping you thrive.
