Can a 20-Year Medical Career Unlock a New Purpose?

Spending 20 years in medicine, I thought I would continue to climb the ladder and retire doing what I thought I loved! Then the COVID-19 pandemic shook me to my core, making me realize just how misaligned I felt. It was a wake-up call that led me on a journey far beyond the hospital walls—transforming me into a speaker, coach, and podcast host dedicated to empowering ambitious women. In this episode, I open up about my personal battles with alcohol abuse, unhealthy relationships, and struggles with self-worth. I’ll share how programs like Celebrate Recovery, rooted in biblical principles, guided me through my healing journey and helped me discover that our past doesn’t have to define our future.

I’ll dive deep into the role of faith and wellness in overcoming life’s toughest challenges. My relationship with Jesus became my anchor, providing the guidance I needed, and I’ll recount some powerful moments of unexpected encouragement that solidified my new path as a coach and speaker. I also discuss the importance of aligning mind, body, and spirit through spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, and journaling.

This episode is all about embracing change, finding the courage to break through excuses, and discovering the abundant possibilities that await when you take control of your story. Join me as I share the lessons I’ve learned along the way and the hope I found in transforming pain into purpose. If you’re ready to rewrite your narrative and step into the life you were created for, this episode is for you.
