Makeover Monday
"M" is for Mondays
Good morning and happy Monday! Thank you for joining me for another episode of “M”is for Mondays. Today, we're diving into the power of appearance—not just how we look, but how we show up in the world. For me, my appearance has often been a tool for reclaiming my space—especially when others (or even I) didn't immediately see me in the role I was stepping into. In this episode, I reflect on how choices around hair, wardrobe, and self-expression influence how you are perceived (or misperceived) by the world and can be harnessed to shape your reality. Appearance is more than just vanity;...

Good morning and happy Monday. Thank you for joining me for another episode of "M" is for Mondays. Today, I'm sharing a story about a monumental, Messy moment from my past—one that still stirs up feelings of shame, fear, and anxiety as I revisit it.

In this episode, I open up about the time I almost flunked out of grad school—a journey through culture shock,...

Today, I'm sharing a story about a monumental, Messy moment from my past—one that still stirs up feelings of shame, fear, and anxiety as I revisit it. But from that same moment came profound lessons about asking for help, leaning on the support of others, the importance of using my voice, and how to overcome failure (which, in fact, is an essential part of being a scientist).
In this episode, I open up about the time I almost flunked out of grad school—a journey through culture shock, feelings of inadequacy, and, ultimately, triumph (and the birth of Dr. K!).
Tune in for this story as we unpack what it means to fail forward.
