Is there a clear PURPOSE embedded within your work?

If you answered NO to either of these questions, then this episode is for you

The pursuit of Purpose is key to personal and professional fulfillment and having a thriving career.

When you centre your life around something meaningful and potentially impactful, there is something deep within you that recognises the privilege and opportunity to contribute to something bigger than yourself, and the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy through our work.

But when you are misaligned in your career (think about a misfit between your natural genius, skills, interests), you are unlikely to be well positioned to fulfill YOUR purpose or even A purpose (because you will mostly likely be unhappy, and unstimulated).

In this episode, you will be challenged to Reflect on Your Purpose (the role you are meant to serve in the world) and what keeps you in your current position (beyond earning your paycheck).

• How scripture and faith can reframe the unknown into a place of trust and growth.
• Practical ways to quiet your mind and tune into God’s guidance and your own inner wisdom.

Are you weighing in on whether to stay in clinical practice or explore new career paths, but fear, uncertainty, or “what ifs” keep holding you back?

In this episode of Life Beyond Clinical Practice, Dr. Diane unpacks the powerful concept of opportunity cost and how it applies to your career. Opportunity cost isn’t just a financial term- it’s a reminder that every choice we make comes with trade-offs.

By not choosing one path, you are already paying the price of another.

You’ll learn:

• What opportunity cost really means for your career (beyond money).

• The hidden costs of staying where you are—even if it feels “safe.”

• The risks and rewards of pivoting into a new career path.

• How to reframe your decision-making so you don’t mistake inaction for security.

• Practical steps to weigh your options and move forward with clarity.

✨ Reflection Prompt: If I don’t change anything, what will my life look like in 3–5 years? If I make a pivot, what could it look like?

This conversation will challenge you to look beyond the surface and ask: Which costs am I truly willing to live with?

If you’ve been feeling stuck, burned out, or afraid of what lies beyond clinical practice, this episode is your invitation to make empowered choices for your future self.

In healthcare, we would never ignore the evidence in front of us. So why do we ignore the signs in our own careers?

In this no-nonsense episode, Dr. Diane challenges you to apply the same evidence-based approach you use with patients to your professional life.

You’ll learn how to recognise the “symptoms” that signal it’s time for change, how to balance hard data with intuition, and how to stop making excuses when the truth is staring you in the face.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or simply ready for something more, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to move from knowing… to doing.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to identify the clear “symptoms” that your career needs a pivot.
• Why your intuition is a legitimate form of personal evidence.
• The danger of ignoring what’s obvious.
• A simple 4-step framework for moving from awareness to action.
