I Didn’t Leave Medicine Because I Failed. I Left Because I Could See the Trap.
From the outside, my life looked “sorted.” Medical doctor. Stable income. Respect. Security.
But inside my body, every step hurt. Literal pain in my feet — daily — that none of my medical training or specialist colleagues could explain or fix.
Doctors joke that nurses make the worst patients…Doctors come a close second.
Here’s the pattern I couldn’t ignore:
High achievers are exceptional at pushing through.Especially in healthcare. We’re trained to override our bodies, suppress our needs, and keep functioning — no matter the cost.
What finally broke me wasn’t a dramatic moment. It was the realisation that I was surviving a life that looked successful.
I wasn’t broken. My nervous system was overloaded. My creativity had nowhere to go.And my identity had become too small for who I was becoming.
The real shift happened when I stopped trying to “fix myself” inside a system designed for compliance, not consciousness.
Investing in myself and working with a life coach wasn’t indulgent — it was corrective.
As my nervous system settled, clarity returned.And with that clarity came an uncomfortable responsibility:
To help other high achievers stop normalising a life that quietly erodes them from the inside out.
Today, I work with people before they burn everything down.Before they quit careers they once loved.Before their body forces the conversation.
Because the truth is — many systems don’t mean to harm you.They just weren’t built for whole humans.
And if this resonates, you’re probably not broken either. You’re just ready for a different way. 🙏
