    I can’t just quit my job. I have responsibilities.

    I can’t just quit my job. I have responsibilities.

    Ever found yourself daydreaming about ditching your job to travel and visit and these exotic places around the world?

    I was fully immersed in this fantasy.

    But then the reality of all my responsibilities would hit me.

    I've got over $100,000 in student loans.

    I've got a dog.

    And I would think, ugh, I can't just quit my job to go gallivanting around the world.

    Maybe YOU are dealing with this right now too.

    You're unhappy in your career,

    but you can't just quit your job and travel the world.

    You have too many responsibilities.

    So what do you do?

    This is what we are going to answer in today’s episode of Tough Love Tuesdays.

    The Dangers of Being TOO Independent

    The Dangers of Being TOO Independent

    Are you one of those independent people? You are that person who takes care of it all and never has to ask for help. The person who just has it together.

    I used to be like that. The lone wolf. Trying to do everything myself.

    Until being so independent, essentially caused my entire life to fall apart

    In this episode of Hot Take Tuesdays, I'm talking about the dangers of being so independent.

    and how you can start to open yourself up to being supported by other people.

    If you are someone who struggles asking for help, this episode is exactly what you need!

    Do THIS to create financial FREEDOM with Dr. Latifat Akintade

    Do THIS to create financial FREEDOM with Dr. Latifat Akintade

    Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of living paycheck to paycheck?

    No matter how much you earn..

    It's like the money flows in, but before you know it, it's gone.

    Leaving you feeling financially insecure and reliant on that steady paycheck.

    But what if I told you there's a way to break free from that cycle and live life on your own terms?

    That's exactly what I discovered in my conversation with Dr. Latifat, Money Coach for Women Physicians.

    She went from living paycheck to paycheck as a new gastroenterologist attending to taking a year-long sabbatical traveling the world with her family.

    How did she do it?

    By changing her relationship with money.

    And in our conversation, we didn't just talk about budgets and investments;

    We talked about how to trade a good life for a great one. How to live in such a way that you have NO regrets.

    If you're tired of feeling financially stuck.

    If you are ready to start using money to design your dream life,

    then this episode is a must-listen.

    Tune in and discover how you can transform your relationship with money and unlock the freedom to live life on your own terms.

    What your steady paycheck is costing you?

    Ever found yourself in a job that drains your spirit just for the sake of financial security?

    As healthcare professionals, we've all faced the temptation of a high-paying role that sacrifices our happiness.

    In today’s Hot Take Tuesdays, we dive deep into the concept of the "prostitute archetype”.

    Think about what your choices are really costing you.

    Consider what matters more to you:

    The safety of a regular paycheck or the possibilities in following your passion and trusting in what the universe has in store for you?

    Join us as we dive into a deep look at exploring the internal battle between chasing money and staying true to ourselves.

    MY Life After Medicine: Choosing Sobriety in a World Obsessed With Alcohol

    MY Life After Medicine: Choosing Sobriety in a World Obsessed With Alcohol

    This week I celebrated one year of being alcohol free.

    To start my sober life, I had to follow my gut feeling and choose not to drink, even though our society often revolves around alcohol.

    This has probably been my biggest challenge in authenticity to this day.

    And that's what I want to talk about on this episode.

    How do you find and follow your authentic path, especially when it's different and no one else seems to be on it?

    Is it really worth it to be true to yourself if it's hard and goes against what everyone else is doing?

    Why not just fit in with everyone else?

    This is what I am going to answer in my new monthly series, "My Life After Medicine.”

    Where every first Thursday of the month, I'll share what I’ve experienced since leaving the medical field.

Great inspiration

This podcast has been instrumental in my journey to finding an aligned career and overall aligned life! She explores mindset changes, burnout recovery, alternative healing paths, and previous wounds. It gives us healthcare workers hope and normalizes what so many of us are feeling! Chels is great and working with her one on one has changed my life!

Tnics ,

Chelsea is an inspiration!

There is a deep cynicism in medicine that is hurting physicians, as we lose more power and control over our lives to the increasingly corporatized healthcare system. Chelsea helps bring hope and joy back to life after medicine!

Amazing Content
