Blank Slates & Becoming: Jessica Snow on Wellbeing, Ambition, and the Joy of Starting Fresh

We Grow Aces A University of Evansville Podcast by Breanna Bondurant

Episode notes

In our final episode of the season, we talk with Jessica Snow--Assistant Professor of Health Sciences, deeper thinker, and lifelong learner--about identity, ambition, and the beauty of becoming. From her academic path through biology and medicine to a transformative year in Luxembourg, Jessica reflects on how stepping back can sometimes move us forward.

We explore the pressures of productivity, the realities of medical training, and how motherhood reshaped her view of failure--not as defeat, but as creative possibility. The idea of 'blank slate' weaves through our conversation, inviting a more curious, compassionate approach to growth.

We also touch on anxiety in the digital age (The Anxious Generation), movement as medicine, and the quiet joy of evolving alongside the people we love.
