Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Sink and Swim podcast, I share Part 1 of my story about walking away from the physical therapy profession when I was at the absolute peak of my career, and how choosing to sink a thriving career opened doors that never would have been possible had I stayed put. In Part 1 I reflect on the challenges and transformations I faced (and sometimes continue to face) when extricating myself from a career and professional identity, the negative impact of healthcare regulations on my ability to provide excellent care, and the not-so-subtle toxic dynamics among female colleagues and impossible pressures placed on on women and working mothers in the profession. 05:55 Reflections on Leaving Physical Therapy11:20  The draw to shift into coaching: a ripple effect is created29:45 The Not-So-Hidden Culture of Competition Among [Female] Colleagues41:27  The Pressure and Encouragement of Self-Sacrifice in Working Women & Mothers52:47 Navigating a Loss of Identity and PurposeIf this episode speaks to you, hit subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend Looking for more of where this came from?
