Episode 273: Solocast - How to Quit Your Job (Almost) Guilt-Free
Are you considering making a big shift in your life? If not you, then perhaps someone you know? Then this is the episode for you! I’m digging into how you can go about quitting your job, almost, guilt free!
The first step you need to take is to address the guilt that you’re feeling. Who is it serving? What is it telling you? What good is coming to you by holding onto your guilt? What is the guilt keeping you from?
It’s important to address this huge block because most of us go into medicine feeling as if we’ve been called to it. Suddenly abandoning this calling brings up a lot of turmoil so this is the first thing to address.
Step 2? Get clear on your intentions and how you want to show up in the world. Were you truly called to medicine or can you help heal others in a different way?
Listen in to hear all of the steps to this framework and hopefully decide if it’s better for you and your family to stay… or to take the leap and go! Because it’s okay to quit your job. Even as a doctor. You have a right to fulfillment and happiness!
“As I have gone through different transitions, guilt has been a big monster emotion that has shown up in my life.”
