Hello ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ช๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป,
In a few weeks time, Iโm walking away from the secure income, the structure, the identity Iโve held as a doctor to pursue this mission full-time.
The Born Worthy newsletter. The Speak Shame podcast. The Storytellers Club. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ.
And Iโm terrified.
My brain keeps asking: ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ? ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ถ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐บ? ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ?
That last one hits differently. Because thereโs a voice that says: ๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ = ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฟ๐ฒ.
But hereโs what I know: ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐.
I know this because Iโve done it before. In 2021, I left the European Parliament and started a hypnotherapy business. ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐น๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ป๐ผ ๐ฐ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐. So I went back to working shifts in A&E. Not because Iโd failed. But because I needed income while I figured things out. ๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ปโ๐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐๐ฟ๐ฒ. ๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฑ๐ผ๐บ.
So yes, Iโm scared. But Iโm leaping anyway. Because I could stay in medicine. Itโs secure. Familiar. Pays well.
But itโs not my purpose. And every day I stay in a job that isnโt aligned with my purpose is a day Iโm not fully serving the women who need this work.
And if youโre in a season of uncertainty too, know this: Itโs okay to leap without knowing where youโll land. Itโs okay to go back if you need to. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐โ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด. Just ask yourself, ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ง๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ณ๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ?
So, here I go ๐ซ
