What does it take to stay motivated when life does not go as planned?

In this episode of Campus Chronicles, Brooke Young speaks with Kalli Gregory, a student, artist, and advocate whose story redefines what it means to persevere. Kalli is a senior studying Neuroscience with a minor in Psychology at Bowling Green State University. She is also the founder of Trent’s Triumph, a nonprofit initiative inspired by her brother’s journey with cerebral palsy, and the owner of Kalli’s Creative Corner, a custom portrait and card service celebrating creativity and compassion.

Her path to a degree has been anything but traditional, taking seven years instead of four, but it is a journey filled with heart, purpose, and resilience. From caring for her nana and navigating COVID setbacks to balancing advocacy, academics, and art, Kalli shares how staying grounded in her why kept her going.

You will learn:

• Why your path does not have to look like anyone else’s
• How to turn personal challenges into platforms for change
• Simple ways to balance service, school, and self-care
• The importance of journaling for emotional health and focus
• Kalli’s top three lessons for students: do not compare, stay motivated, and lead with heart
