#4 Transitioning out of medicine, how to know if you're in the wrong industry with Dr. Eric Stretch
from The Conscious Practitioner: Inner Work & Success Strategies for Massage Therapists to Reignite Passion, Align with Purpose and Overcome Burnout · host Jess Reynolds
Former TCMD Eric Stretch has an interesting story. Unlike most of the other practitioners I talk with, he is no longer practicing because he recently left the world of integrative medicine to pursue his passion in a totally unrelated industry - tech. Eric worked as a TCMD and acupuncturist for over 8 years, until he sat down and had a hard conversation with himself. he realized that his heart was not in it. This was not ideal for his patients, his family, and certainly not for himself. Eric did something that take tremendous courage and pursued his passion. The reason I wanted to speak with Eric is that I think it is important for all of us to remember, that as we go through our lives, things change and one of those things might be our love for what we do. Maybe you don't have to leave integrative medicine completely, but maybe you do. But perhaps you, or someone you know, need to hear that it is okay if this is not your thing!👉 SPONSOR LINKTry Jane EMR - Use code AIM1MO and get a 1 month grace period on your new Jane Account ❗️Make sure to use the code AIM1MO to get a 1 months grace period🔗 GET IN TOUCH WITH :Webpage ➔ Email ➔ Instagram ➔Facebook ➔YouTube ➔LinkedIn ➔ TikTok ➔🐦 SOCIAL STUFF:🐦 SOCIAL STUFF:Website ➔ https://jessevreynols.comInstagram ➔ https://instagram.com/drjessreynoldsYouTube ➔ https://www.youtube.com/@ConsciousPractitionerEmail ➔ [email protected]
