The path to a career change – whether clinical or nonclinical – is not a linear one. There are twists and turns in the road, and getting hung up on certain elements of the process too early can unintentionally derail your plans. In today’s solo episode Iâm discussing why asking âHow?â too early in your career change journey has the potential to shut things down before they really get started. Iâll also be talking about how to avoid this common trap by reframing your thought process and using some different three-letter words to keep moving forward.
In this episode weâre talking about:
- Why asking âHow?â too soon can be a common problem for physicians
- How our instinct to stay safe may also keep us stuck
- The power of changing our mindset around the âhowâ
- The power of asking âWhy?â to bring clarity to a career transition
- Writing out your âwhyâ to gain insight
- The importance of asking yourself âWhy not now?â
- Boosting your confidence by asking âWhy not me?â

I developed an opiate dependency in 2020 and was terminated. I cannot find another job and have been looking for 2 years. I have been practicing Cardiology and Electrophysiology since 2004. If I remembered any of my electrical and Biomedical engineering I graduated with, I would surely do it as the medical filed is not what it used to be. I was working in academics with LSU School of Medicine – Shreveport at the Monroe Campus. I was doing EP and Cardiology during the day and ER at night and on weekends. Instead of getting a raise for my Cardiology work or telling me to stop working the ER, what do you think LSU did? They bought me a bed for my office so I could grab a few hours of sleep in between my day an night job. After doing this amount of work for 4 years, I became dependent on pain meds as it was like drinking 10 cups of coffee. I just do not know what to do now. Any suggestions. I have kids in college to support. So sorry for bothering you.
