Space to Breathe: When Purpose Becomes More Valuable Than Money with Dr Becs Winterborn
Description
What does it really take to walk away from a six-figure consultant surgeon salary?
This week, I'm delighted to chat with Dr Bex Winterborn, who did exactly that after 25 years in the NHS. From experiencing PTSD after losing a colleague during surgery, to burnout during the pandemic, to that pivotal moment when she realised she was avoiding theatre lists - Bex shares her powerful journey of rediscovering purpose beyond the identity she'd held since she was seven years old.
We explore the courage it takes to remove the armour and mask we wear in high-pressure careers, why embodying your next chapter before you leap is essential, and how coaching and parts work helped Bex recognise she was multifaceted beyond just being a doctor.
If you're in a well-paid job but know there's something bigger calling you, this conversation about finding joy, setting boundaries, and understanding that it's absolutely okay to have different chapters in your life is going to really resonate with you.
