How to Stay Motivated When Life Does Not Go as Planned | Kalli Gregory | Campus Chronicles

What does perseverance look like when your degree takes seven years instead of four?

In this powerful and heartwarming episode, Brooke Young sits down with Kalli Gregory, a student, artist, and advocate with a story of resilience, service, and purpose. Kalli is a senior at Bowling Green State University studying Neuroscience and Psychology, founder of Trent’s Triumph (a nonprofit inspired by her brother’s journey with cerebral palsy), and owner of Kalli’s Creative Corner, where she channels her creativity into custom artwork.

Together, they talk about purpose, family, loss, and what it means to keep going even when life takes unexpected turns. Kalli shares how she turned grief into growth, built a movement for inclusion, and discovered her calling to become a paediatric neurologist.
