Any ideas for a new career?
Would love some ideas for a new job! I’ve been working as a midwife for 7 years and I’ve realised the burnout is just not worth it for me. I’ve also been diagnosed with POTS and neurodivergence (high functioning/high masking) in the last couple years and it’s become clear that shift work and adrenalin fueled environments are not really compatible with the way I’m made!
I am a lactation consultant so have thought about starting a business but I think I might just be ready for a whole new field of work. One where I can be myself a bit more, look after my health better, work independently. My other interests are music, art, design, wellness, nature and slow living.
I’d love to hear any ideas or similar stories from burned out healthcare workers and where you’ve ended up! Thank you :)
TLDR; burnt out healthcare worker looking for a career change
