Nicole's Journey from Physician Assistant to Health Coach

from You Are the Magic You're Waiting For · host Kristin Hartjes

Most medical professionals enter the field with passion and purpose—bright-eyed, full of hope, and committed to making a real difference. The dream? To heal, to help, and to feel deeply fulfilled by meaningful work.But the reality? For many, it's a far cry from that dream.Instead, they find themselves stuck in a system they didn’t choose—one that:-Rewards speed over depth, pushing them to see as many patients as possible-Prioritizes prescriptions over true healing-Requires endless paperwork just to get services covered-Limits patient care to what insurance will allow-Largely ignores prevention, root-cause healing, and holistic approachesFor practitioners who value integrity, this model feels completely out of alignment. But stepping outside the system often comes with consequences—reprimands, restrictions, or worse.After years of following rules that clash with your core values, burnout is almost inevitable. And with it comes a deep longing for freedom—to practice medicine on your own terms, in your own way, wherever you choose.That’s why so many health professionals are now turning to health coaching and launching their own businesses—to reclaim their autonomy and do the work they actually believe in.And that’s exactly what Nicole did.Nicole, a physician assistant, started her own coaching business focused on helping menopausal women lose weight—a topic she’s both professionally experienced in and personally passionate about.Her business took off quickly.
