Life After Medicine: How To Make a Career Change, Beat Burnout & Find Your Purpose For Doctors

Have you been feeling a dullness glaze over you? Like there’s nothing specifically wrong- but you feel a sense that there’s something missing in your career.

In today’s episode, I share an interview with Dr. Sabrina Falquier, founder and owner of Sensations Salud. We dive into her inspiring career journey from accidentally discovering her purpose at a CME conference, to taking a leap into the unknown to pursue her passion.

You’ll discover

What it feels like to be your full, authentic self in your career- in contrast to the stifled, muted professional mask that most of wear.
How to leave the financial stability of clinical medicine, especially when you're the primary breadwinner and your new income doesn't yet match your clinical one.
The strangest income source that Sabrina has uncovered. Seriously- it’s so odd, she thought it was a prank email.

Today's conversation is so inspiring. It's one you're going to want to listen to again and again to remind you of all the joy that's waiting for you on the other side of the unknown.
