Charting My Future is the ultimate, no-filter guide for high schoolers figuring out if a career in healthcare is their true calling.

Hosted by high school junior Addie Hammer, this podcast cuts through generic job descriptions and textbook biology to reveal what a career in medicine actually feels like day-to-day. Aimed at students who love science, care deeply about helping others, and light up around kids, each 20-minute episode offers an honest, insider look into human-facing health professions.

What to expect each episode:

• Real Talk with Experts: Straightforward interviews with professionals across fields like Pediatrics, Pediatric Surgery, Neonatology, Nursing, ENT, Child Life, and more.

• The Questions You Actually Care About: Guests tackle five anchor questions every high schooler needs to know from their actual step-by-step path from age 16 to their current job, to the hardest trade-offs and unexpected skills required.
• Behind-the-Scenes Insights: Addie's guest line-up shares what they wish they knew at 16, how their work handles pediatric care, and what modern medicine looks like beyond coding and AI.
• Honest Reflections: Every episode closes with a candid host reflection on whether that specialty is worth pursuing, helping you decide if it belongs on your shortlist.
