Some conversations stay with us because they name what we've been living but haven't had words for yet. This episode is one of those moments, a reminder that gratitude does not require us to deny our pain, and authenticity does not demand perfection. As we revisit this Thanksgiving message, one of the most downloaded and shared episodes of the year, Lori reflects on what it means to hold multiple truths at the same time. In a year marked by layoffs, uncertainty, grief, and global upheaval, this episode offers permission to be honest and grateful, resilient and tender. This is not a call to toxic positivity. It's an invitation to courageous leadership by showing up fully human, holding space for ourselves and others, and leading with compassion even when life is messy. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why gratitude and grief are not opposites, and why leaders need both How holding “two truths” builds psychological safety and trust The difference between compassion and dismissal during times of loss What authentic leadership looks like in seasons of uncertainty Practical ways to support others facing layoffs, trauma, or transition Guest BioLori Adams-Brown is the host of A World of Difference and a globally minded leadership expert focused on difference, resilience, and authentic leadership.

What if the problem isn't medicine — but the way your career is structured right now?In this episode, Tracy sits down with Annie Wildermuth, PA, leadership consultant, and ICF-certified coach, for a thoughtful, grounded conversation about career pivots, burnout, and how clinicians can make intentional changes without blowing up their lives.Annie shares her own non-linear career journey — from emergency medicine to academia, medical education, leadership development, and coaching — and explains why so many clinicians feel stuck when the “traditional” career path no longer fits. Together, Tracy and Annie unpack why waiting until you're in crisis to think about career strategy is so common — and how much easier it is to make aligned decisions when you plan ahead.They explore one of the biggest myths in medicine: that non-clinical work is automatically the solution to burnout. Annie offers a refreshingly honest take on whether the grass is really greener, what she misses about patient care, and why values — not job titles — should drive career decisions.You'll also hear practical guidance on how to: • Identify whether your burnout is about workload, values misalignment, or lack of purpose • Decide if leadership opportunities are worth building where you are — or if it's time to move on • Make smaller, sustainable changes inside your current role before pursuing a big pivot • Navigate the fear of learning something new (yes, even an entirely new specialty) • Take career transitions one manageable step at a time — without paralysis or perfectionismAnnie introduces a powerful framework from Drive — autonomy, mastery, and purpose — and explains how even small shifts in these areas can dramatically improve fulfillment at work. Tracy adds real-world examples from her own coaching clients and personal experience, including why “working less” alone rarely cures burnout.The episode closes with a reminder clinicians need to hear: you don't need to have everything figured out. Careers evolve. Values change. And choosing a new direction doesn't mean your previous path was wrong — just that you've grown.If you've been wondering whether it's time for a change, this conversation will help you slow down, get clear, and move forward with intention — instead of panic.

Lora Cheadle is a former insurance defense attorney who traded burnout for a career built on wellness, boundaries, and helping high achievers navigate betrayal in both personal and professional life. In this episode, she explains why many lawyers mislabel their exhaustion as burnout when it is actually the rupture of unmet expectations, unmanaged stress, and years of self-neglect. Lora shares how fitness, neuroplasticity, and coaching transformed her life and fuel the work she does today.Lawyer Side HustlesLong before she transitioned out of traditional practice, Lora taught step aerobics as a creative outlet and source of joy. That passion evolved into a broader commitment to wellness, somatic health, and stress reduction. As she explored posture, breathing, and body-based healing, she recognised how deeply physical habits affect emotional and cognitive performance. This curiosity led her to study nutrition and later become a clinical hypnotherapist so she could support the neuroplasticity work her clients needed.“Fitness was my respite. People need to somatically process stress. Good posture makes a difference in the way we can breathe and in our brain functioning,” Lora Cheadle expresses in Episode 224 of You Are a Lawyer.She eventually built Life Choreography Coaching and Advocacy, a business inspired by the idea that life, like dance, requires both choreography and improvisation. Lora also wrote It's Not Burnout, It's Betrayal, a book explaining how professionals can use her Fuel Up framework to identify ruptured expectations, process emotional overwhelm, and rebuild their sense of identity after chronic stress.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

What if one more year in your “okay” career quietly costs you more than you realise?In this episode, I speak not as an outsider, but as someone who has been there – a former dentist who stayed in a successful but misaligned career for longer than felt true.You'll hear:The three hidden ways an “okay” career drains your self-trust, energy, and relationshipsHow to stop rolling the decision forward to “next year” again and againA simple 3-step plan to make the year ahead your pivot year, without tearing apart the life you have built

If you know something in your career no longer fits—but you're unsure where to start—this episode is your wake-up call. In today's conversation on Life Beyond Clinical Practice, Dr Diane breaks down three decisive actions you can take right now to begin a meaningful, aligned career pivot. This isn't about vague reflection or waiting for clarity to magically arrive. It's about making intentional moves that create momentum toward your 2026 reinvention. Because here's the truth: If nothing changes this month, nothing changes next year. 1. Get Radically Clear on Your Direction Urgency: You cannot pivot into a vacuum. Without clarity, you will get lost. What this means: Your pivot needs a destination zone - not a fully mapped plan, but a clear sense of direction that everything else is built around. 2. Audit and Upgrade Your Career Assets Urgency: Your digital footprint is either working for you—or quietly holding you back. What this means: Your CV, LinkedIn profile, and personal narrative must reflect the future you, not the clinical box you're trying to leave behind. Your story should communicate: Alignment Transferable value Readiness for what's next 3. Build Your Network Before You Need It Urgency: Opportunities don't come from job boards. They come through people. 2026 pivots will be won by those building relationships now. What this means: Engage in conversations outside clinical practice Attend strategically chosen events, webinars, and summits Learn from people who have already pivoted successfully (I've already mapped my 2026 calendar - and it's filling fast.)   Reinventing your career isn't a single moment - it's a series of deliberate decisions.   The question is simple: What decision will you make after listening to this episode today?   Join the Pivot Crash Course waitlist and start building your 2026 career with clarity and confidence

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Ever feel the ground shift under a job you once loved? We sit down with a K–12 principal who built his identity around coaching kids, weathered the Paradise fire, and still found his purpose dissolving under politics, ego, and endless pushback. What follows is a candid look at walking away from a steady six-figure paycheck to pursue fitness, craft, and a life that feels honest again.We trace the throughline from early days lifting in Chico to leading schools where every decision meets resistance, and then to the spark of a new path: training, education reform from the outside, and programs that make movement central to learning. We talk openly about comfort as a trap, the fear of starting at zero, and the mindset shift that turns practice into momentum. If you're wrestling with a pivot, you'll hear a practical playbook: shadow great coaches, study daily, build a routine that stacks mobility, lifting, and focused learning, and have one meaningful industry conversation every day. It's career capital by design, not hope.There's a strong case for bridging education and fitness. PE gets sidelined, yet aerobic work boosts BDNF, sharpens attention, and primes the brain for class. With the right partnerships, schools can implement zero-period training, teacher wellness, and skill-based PE that kids actually believe in.

In this episode, Laurie explains why lawyers must evolve, how client service impacts malpractice claims, and why thinking like a client can make your legal practice more effective and more enjoyable.Lawyer Side HustlesWriting has been Laurie's creative and intellectual outlet. He has written articles for lawyers and articles for clients, using writing as a way to educate, clarify legal issues, and reduce client overwhelm. Long before law firm websites were common, he built one of the first in Ottawa and filled it with free educational content. He also became one of the earliest lawyers in the region to advertise legally after restrictions were lifted.“I had so many articles that when the internet came along, I had a million things to throw on my website right away,” shares Laurie Pascoe in Episode 79 of You Are a Lawyer.His most significant project became his book, Innovative Legal Service Applications: A Guide to Improved Client Services, published by the ABA. For Laurie, these writing projects were not hobbies. They were a way to teach lawyers, improve client outcomes, and share practical tools to help the profession evolve.

Are you feeling the weight of leadership decisions that seem to pull you away from your core values? You're not alone in wrestling with what it means to lead authentically when the world around us feels increasingly divided and transactional. What happens when kindness becomes your greatest strength, not your weakness? In a year marked by global upheaval, AI transformation, and workplace challenges that have disproportionately affected women, the question of authentic leadership has never been more critical. This reflection episode comes at a time when many executives are facing impossible choices between convenience and character. From ICE raids affecting Venezuelan asylum seekers to the McKinsey study showing gender parity gaps widening, from AI bias in compensation algorithms to the cultural wars targeting women in the workplace. The stakes for values-driven leadership have never been higher. I share personal reflections on navigating leadership challenges this year, including difficult decisions about walking away when values alignment disappeared. Drawing from childhood Christmas traditions in Venezuela to recent experiences in Denmark's hygge culture, this episode explores what it means to choose integrity over convenience. The courage to exit misaligned situations - Why walking away when values don't align isn't failure, but integrity, and how to recognize when it's time to make that difficult choice. Listening as leadership in divided times - How genuine listening to understand becomes your most powerful tool when relationships have become increasingly transactional. Human-centered approaches in the AI era - Why protecting dignity, voice, and agency matters more than ever as artificial intelligence transforms how we work. The strength of kindness framework - How to reject the false choice between being kind and being strong, and why authentic leaders embody both simultaneously. Building psychological safety through vulnerability - Practical ways to create environments where people can push back, make mistakes, and grow without fear of retaliation. The episode also touches on global perspectives that shape authentic leadership, from celebrating Maria Corina Machado's Nobel Peace Prize to learning from Denmark's egalitarian happiness model. These experiences remind us that our differences aren't the problem. They're the path forward. If you've ever questioned whether you can maintain your values while navigating complex organizational politics, or wondered how to lead with both strength and humanity, this reflection will help you clarify what matters most as you head into the new year.

If you're feeling stuck, uncertain, or quietly questioning whether your current career still fits, this episode is for you. In this episode, Dr Diane breaks down the role of Clarity Coaching and why it is a critical first step for health professionals considering a career pivot. She answers three foundational questions that many professionals struggle to articulate: What exactly is a Clarity Coach? What role does a Clarity Coach play during a career pivot? What can you realistically expect from working with one? This episode offers practical insight into how clarity creates momentum - and why skipping this step often leads to repeated misalignment. Key Topics Covered 1. What Is a Clarity Coach? A Clarity Coach acts as a strategic partner and guide, helping professionals move from confusion, doubt, and indecision into confident, intentional action. Clarity coaching is not about finding “another job” - it's about designing a sustainable, fulfilling career path aligned with who you are and what matters most. 2. The Key Roles a Clarity Coach Plays in a Career Pivot Facilitating Self-Discovery Identifying strengths, values, interests, and untapped potential Using reflective exercises and assessments to uncover what truly drives fulfillment Defining Career Vision & Goals Translating vague aspirations into a clear long-term career vision Creating SMART career goals that support sustainability and growth Overcoming Mental Barriers Addressing self-doubt, fear of the unknown, and imposter syndrome Building confidence and resilience through mindset shifts Developing a Strategic Action Plan Creating a step-by-step roadmap tailored to your goals Identifying skill gaps, educational needs, and branding opportunities Strengthening resumes, cover letters, and transferable skill narratives Providing Accountability & Ongoing Support Preventing stagnation and decision paralysis Regular check-ins to maintain momentum and adjust strategy as needed Enhancing Job Search & Transition Skills Effective networking strategies Interview preparation and confidence building Aligning Career with Well-Being Ensuring career decisions support lifestyle, values, and life goals Preventing “lateral pivots” that lead back to dissatisfaction 3. Why Clarity Is the Foundation of a Meaningful Pivot A career pivot without clarity is simply a role change — and often leads back to the same dissatisfaction. True reinvention requires intentional alignment between professional goals, personal values, and overall well-being. Key Takeaway Clarity isn't optional — it's foundational. If you want a career pivot that leads to lasting fulfillment, clarity must come before action. Ready to Take the First Step? If you've been trying to figure things out on your own with little progress, working with a Clarity Coach could be the turning point you need.

Join us for a conversation with Paige Murray, author of the beloved Rosie children's book series and a woman who's lived many lives—from small-town South Carolina girl to NASCAR's Miss Sprint Cup, broadcast journalist, cooking show host, and now ranch mama and author. Paige shares how life on the TY Ranch in Stephenville, Texas, where she lives with her husband, legendary rodeo champion Ty Murray, inspired her to start writing. Surrounded by cattle, horses, and her growing collection of rescue animals, Paige found herself watching her daughter Oakley and stepson Kase learn invaluable lessons through daily ranch life—lessons about responsibility, compassion, hard work, and the natural world. Those everyday moments of exploration and discovery became the heartbeat of the Rosie series. With Oakley as her muse, Paige created stories that capture the magic, challenges, and adventures of growing up on a working ranch. From caring for animals to exploring wide open spaces, Rosie embodies the spirit of childhood on the land—and the timeless values Paige wants to pass down to the next generation. In this episode, Paige opens up about her unexpected journey to authorship, why being a mother is her greatest calling, and how she's sharing the beauty of ranch life with children everywhere through her stories.

Stephen Candelmo is a corporate lawyer turned tech founder who has spent nearly thirty years advising emerging companies and building his own ventures. In this episode, he explains how a recession, a machine learning experiment, and a desire for fairness inspired him to create Paralex, a legal platform that delivers fixed-fee, AI-powered legal services for small businesses and startups. He also shares why he believes the legal profession is on the edge of a major transformation.Lawyer Side HustlesStephen's entrepreneurial path began long before Paralex. While still practicing corporate law, he launched a machine learning startup focused on sentiment analytics. The company served well-known customers and gave him a deeper understanding of product design, customer behavior, and the commercial side of technology. Years later, when large language models became available, he immediately began prototyping legal use cases instead of simply experimenting for fun.“Once you start innovating, you are always on the lookout for the next thing. It becomes a shift in mindset,” Stephen Candelmo expresses in Episode 222 of You Are a Lawyer.Paralex is the culmination of decades of corporate experience, business curiosity, and belief in legal accessibility. His side ventures were never hobbies. They were stepping stones that helped him create a platform where AI handles routine legal tasks while lawyers provide oversight, judgment, and accountability. For Stephen, entrepreneurship is not separate from being a lawyer. It is an extension of what lawyers can do when they combine their training with creativity.This episode is produced by Skip the Boring Stuff, a podcast strategy company for business owners and creatives.

Erica Malbon is the co-founder of Malbon Golf—the game-changing, fashionable golfwear and lifestyle brand that seeks to break tradition by inviting anyone and everyone to enjoy what she calls the “greatest game on Earth.” Malbon Golf began as an Instagram mood board created by her husband, a longtime golf enthusiast. When the couple decided to make Malbon into a full-fledged brand, Erica didn't have any experience in the sports or retail industry. That said, she had developed an entrepreneurial spirit from her time as co-founder of her first venture, The Now, an L.A.-based massage business that offers luxury spa treatments at an affordable price point. Having learned firsthand what it takes to run both the operational and creative sides of a company, Erica was more than prepared to reimagine golfwear for a new generation and create a brand with a mission to make the sport more accessible. Since launching in 2017, Malbon has amassed a community of golf lovers that includes veteran fans of the sport, professional athletes, and celebrities like Justin Bieber. And they've expanded their brand around the world with locations in China, South Korea, and the Philippines.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

May tells us about how she turned herself into a fashion “detective” when sourcing pieces for Clueless and how she mixed high and low fashion to tell a story and stay within her modest budget.

Melanie Bender is the founder and CEO of Lore, a new fragrance brand that creates entire worlds in every bottle. Before becoming a leader in the beauty industry, Bender initially thought she'd enter the world of STEM. In college, she studied aerospace engineering and environmental science before becoming an environmental planner in her home state of Hawai'i. But her love for fashion and beauty led her to New York. It was there that she started a career that would make her an expert in every part of the process of brand-building—from PR to product development to marketing. Her natural talent and reputation led her to help grow beauty brands Versed and Merit before she was tapped to serve as the CEO of Hailey Bieber's Rhode. But she never abandoned what she learned when she studied STEM. She often credits the scientific method as the formula to entrepreneurial success that's gotten her to where she is today. Now, after more than a decade of building businesses across the beauty industry and leading them to new heights, Melanie's launched her own with Lore—her fragrance line that debuted at Sephora this year.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Celia Muñoz is the founder of La Coqueta, a childrenswear brand that infuses traditional Spanish craftsmanship and culture into beautiful designs for kids. Before Muñoz dreamed up the idea for her brand, she studied psychology and then moved from her native Spain to London post-grad, working several jobs across industries—from luxury retail to headhunting. She went back to school to get her master's in mental health while growing her family, but her dream for a kids' fashion brand quickly took over. With no experience in design or business, she launched the brand in 2013. La Coqueta (meaning “well-groomed”) was greeted warmly by families who fell in love with the brand for its high-quality garments, and things only continued to take off after Prince Louis of the Royal Family (son of Prince William and Princess Kate) was spotted wearing a La Coqueta original. Today, the brand continues to grow and expand its reach with new locations in the U.S.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
