133 | Giving yourself permission to want more out of your career as a healthcare professional

In this episode of Life Beyond Clinical Practice, Dr. Diane Van Staden explores the theme of wanting more in life and career after experiencing grief. She emphasizes that desiring more is not a flaw but a natural response to acknowledging what no longer serves us. The conversation encourages listeners to reframe their understanding of desire, allowing for imagination and exploration of what truly energizes them, while also recognizing the importance of gratitude in the process of wanting more.   Takeaways - Wanting more is not a character flaw. - Desire is simply information about your inner world. - Gratitude doesn't require you to stay small. - You can appreciate your past while seeking change. - Imagination is a rehearsal for alignment. - Allow yourself to desire without guilt. - Career grief opens space for new possibilities. - Longing for more is rooted in maturity. - Desire can lead to more truth and alignment. - Reflect on what energizes you in your work.   Join the Pivot Crash Course and start building your career with clarity and confidence 👉 https://lifebeyondclinicalpractice.com/main-order-page    MORE WAYS TO CONNECT: Follow our LinkedIn page:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/life-beyond-clinical-practice/     Book a Clarity Call with Dr Diane https://calendly.com/lbcp/strategy-call     Join the Movement on Instagram: @lifebeyondclinicalpractice  Rate and Review the show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-beyond-clinical-practice-healthcare-careers-professional/id1713086617
