Imagine failing the PE so many times that you decide your next attempt would be your last — pass or walk away. 😨 That was Yameli Herschelman’s reality…until one thing changed for her last try.

In simple words: the rest is history. 👷 ✅

This episode is packed with hard-earned lessons for repeat takers, from a six-time repeat taker herself who almost gave up on the goal of becoming a PE altogether.
