We\'ve had a ton of impressive women on the show, but Poonam Rahman might take the cake for doing the absolute MOST. This week, Anya sits down with Poonam, the founder and CEO of two international 501(c)3 nonprofits (Virtue Mental and Shattering Bias In S.T.E.A.M.) designed to provide free resources to historically marginalized communities. She\'s also in the process of finishing senior year on a pre-med and pre-law track, and did we mention she\'s writing a book? She and Anya chat about her biggest tips for students balancing competing priorities, managing boundaries, Chicago deep dish pizza, and so much more! Poonam is a champion for mental health, and we were so lucky to interview her on the show.
