The demands seemed to multiply exponentially, the broken system I was trying to fix and work within left me overwhelmed and out of control. Despite this, the thought of walking away or considering change—even temporarily—filled me with terror.
You just can’t, it’s against the medical culture, no one leaves… What if I failed? What would I even do? My burnout is not enough to justify leaving. It’s just how it is. Besides, I hadn’t trained and worked for this long to simply give it all up - I was invested. The very idea of stepping off the treadmill of my pre-defined career gave me vertigo
One day, (when asked how much I was willing to sell my 30s for) the penny dropped. I am sacrificing my health, my time, my energy, and relationships. This decade of work has brought me professional satisfaction but cost me my health (I had most burnout symptoms just didn’t know it), my time (years I will never get back) and NO it wasn’t worth it. Deep down, the voice (that I will later know as intuition) kept saying that something had to change."But how? Where would I even start?" "What do you really need right now, what do you ACTUALLY WANT?"
I could no longer ignore the voice inside my head, the voice that whispered of a different path, a path of healing and renewal. Decisions that followed led to disappointing people, committing “career suicide”, going against the tide. It was all uncertain and unknown. I just knew that not following my heart would mean spending the rest of my life wishing I had.
So if you’re reading this, chances are you want more. Perhaps it’s deep transformation, burnout, navigating change or simply true wellness. Either way, do not ignore that voice. Let's have a conversation and see what’s possible…
I’ve made it my mission to provoke radical awareness as a form of deep transformation. I use neuroscience backed techniques to merge the sciences of intuition & logic to help you live a truly powerful, embodied life.
