DON'T LET THEM STOP YOU! OBSTACLES CAN'T STOP YOU | DR. VALERIE MUKANGA | DR. ANITA LWANGA

What do you do when the obstacles in front of you start making you question whether your dream is still possible? Don’t let them stop you. Dr. Anita Lwanga’s journey to becoming a physician was filled with moments that could have made her give up. She nearly flunked out of university, faced rejection and delays, navigated medical school in the Cayman Islands, residency in Chicago, visa challenges, and eventually found her way back to Canada. There were plenty of reasons to wonder if the journey was going to work out. But she kept going. In this conversation, Dr. Anita shares what helped her keep moving when the path wasn't clear—the mentors who made a difference, the preparation that changed her academic journey, the unexpected opportunities, and the faith that helped her trust God through seasons of uncertainty. Her story is not about having a perfect plan. It's about continuing to move forward when the plan doesn't go the way you expected. Maybe you're facing your own rejection. Maybe you're waiting for a door to open. Maybe you're wondering if you've come too far to start over. Whatever the obstacle is, don't let it convince you that your story is over. *Obstacles can't stop you.* The Science of Gratitude (TSG) YouTube:    / @thescience-of-gratitude   TikTok: @the.science.of.gr Email: [thescienceofgratitude@gmail.com](mailto:thescienceofgratitude@gmail.com) Follow Dr. Anita Lwanga: doctorlwanga.com Thank you for watching.
