Physician Guest Blog: "The Old Me, The New Me"

This month’s blog is a guest post by one of my clients who went from feeling trapped in her career to having the confidence to know she could pursue other opportunities.

Any significant career change is a process and takes time and effort, but if you hold to the vision that your work is meant to be fulfilling and joyful, you will find what is right for you. I have experienced this change in my own career and see it happening with my clients. Please enjoy this guest blog.
