#056 The struggle to find a fulfilling career path within the constraints of the industry is a problem many of us encounter. The solution lies in recognizing the need to change and explore alternative career paths that align with our passion and values. Listen to what Divya, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, has to share about her journey from being in a traditional physical therapy practice to being a travel physical therapist, and to finally starting a virtual rehab and fitness coaching.
This episode highlights the importance of seeking balance, having the right connections, and being open to entrepreneurial opportunities that can bring both personal satisfaction and professional success. She shares the barriers she faced, the burnout she overcame, and the pivotal moments that sparked her evolution into a passionate advocate for patient care. Shake off any preconceptions about the glamorized travel therapy lifestyle as Divya shares her experiences. Discover how she cautiously but surely carved out a unique niche in the crowded online space, learning to trust in the value she could offer her audience.
Our conversation is an example of how possible it is to find fulfillment outside of traditional employment, offering encouragement for those ready to take a bold step towards a more satisfying career. Join us as Divya reflects on how her early interests in social media and content creation, once considered mere hobbies, laid the foundation for a thriving business that is as much about impact as it is about healthcare.
