What if you stopped lying to yourself?

Do you ever wonder if you can keep doing medicine for another 10 years?

Do you have this deep sense that you are in the wrong place and that there must be something MORE out there for you.

This is exactly how I felt during my OBGYN residency. I had this overwhelming gut feeling that something was off.

On the surface, I could attribute this feeling to burnout.

It was easy to dismiss myself and say “of course I’m feeling like something is off, I’m exhausted. I am working 60-80hrs/ week at a stressful job and feeling physically and mentally exhausted as a result. Makes complete sense.”

And all of that was true to some extent. Burnout can wreak havoc on your physical and emotional well-being.

But it was more than that.

It was more than just the effects of chronic stress coupled with consistent sleep deprivation.

Even when I was at my most rested, I hated going into work.

Whenever I was at home, I spent my time dreading and thinking about how I would have to soon go in. Every Sunday night I would feel the tension building about walking into the hospital on Monday.

I would come home at the end of the day, mentally exhausted, feeling like I have nothing left to give.

For a while, there was this nagging feeling in the back of mind that I couldn’t keep doing this job. I couldn’t keep working in clinical medicine.

And I kept pushing it further down, because that was too scary to even think about.

How could I just walk away from a career that I invested so much time and money into. And what would I even do if I wasn’t a doctor? How would I pay back my loans? Could I find a career that I actually did enjoy? Or was that just wishful thinking?

But finally, my physical state of burnout became so severe, that I couldn’t lie to myself anymore.

I had to be honest. I had to admit to myself that I didn’t want to be a doctor anymore.

When I finally said those words out loud to my residency program director that I didn’t want to continue with residency, it felt like this giant relief.

This weight lifted off my shoulder.

Yes, I was terrified of the path ahead of me, but I was finally being honest with myself about what I really wanted. And that honesty made me feel so light, free and expansive.

From that moment forward, I made a decision to continue being honest with myself and to follow my intuition. To listen to that voice inside of me that felt most true. To stop living from a place of fear and start living from a place of love and possibility.

And honoring that decision, has brought me to where I am today.

Running a beautiful online business that gives me the freedom and flexibility to travel the world.

Although there are difficulties that come with being an online entrepreneur, I’ve honestly never felt more fulfilled than I do right now (and I know it’s going to keep getting better).

I feel like I’m making a difference and I enjoy what I do.

I look forward to my days.

And my work doesn’t leave me feeling drained and exhausted. More often than not, I am actually energized by my client calls.

But most importantly, I feel this sense of peace, like a long slow exhale. It is this feeling that I am in exactly the right place and doing the work that I am meant to be doing.

And this is exactly what I teach my clients how to do too. Within my 8 week program, it’s incredible how much clarity they get around what is next for them in their career.

They are able to identify their desires, strengths, capabilities and come up with a plan to turn they work they enjoy into a financially sustainable career path.
