Episode Overview

In this deeply personal episode of Musings of a Geriatric Mama, I share the story behind one of the biggest pivots of my life — walking away from a six-figure career in healthcare to pursue alignment, wellness, and purpose.

This isn’t just a career change story.
It’s a story about identity.
It’s a story about burnout.
It’s a story about motherhood awakening something much deeper.
And it’s about realizing that rest is not laziness — it is wisdom and alignment.

As someone who thrived in high-performance environments, I had to confront perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the belief that success meant exhaustion.

The pandemic forced many healthcare providers to confront a hard truth: healthcare is also a business — and too often, at times profit is prioritized over people.

Motherhood became a catalyst.
Burnout became a warning.
Self-compassion became essential

In this episode, I unpack:

• The emotional weight of leaving stability
• The identity crisis that followed
• The role of self-advocacy in both healthcare and life
• Why pivoting is not failure
• How rest can restore creativity, clarity, and courage

This is for the woman who feels called to more — but is scared to leave what looks traditionally successful.

Takeaways

Pursuing passion can lead to a more fulfilling life.
Rest is essential for overall wellness and success.
Self-advocacy is crucial in navigating healthcare systems.
Burnout is a common issue for high-achieving professionals.
Motherhood can catalyze personal transformation and creativity.
Healthcare is a business that often prioritizes profit over people.
Finding balance is key to maintaining mental and physical health.
Community support is vital for personal growth and healing.
Self-compassion allows for a healthier relationship with oneself.
Pivoting in life is not a failure, but a necessary step towards alignment.

Sound bites

"Rest is not laziness. Rest is wisdom."
"Your soul needs you to be well."
"It's time to rewrite that story."

• Community increases capacity. Lone wolf syndrome limits your growth.
• Outsourcing is leadership. Delegation protects your mental health.
• Motherhood doesn’t erase you. It evolves you.
