Life Beyond Clinical Practice is a Top 2% podcast for health professionals, including who feel stuck, know they are meant for more than traditional clinical roles, or who are quietly questioning whether the work they currently do is still the right fit.
Many clinicians reach a point in their careers where success on paper no longer equals fulfillment - and clarity about what’s next feels frustratingly out of reach. This show helps clinicians explore careers beyond clinical practice, discover non-clinical career paths, and gain the clarity and confidence needed to pivot without starting over.
Hi I’m Dr Diane, Career Pivot Strategist and Clarity Coach for health professionals. Through reflective insight, practical strategy, and purpose-driven guidance, I help clinicians navigate career reinvention beyond clinical practice - without abandoning their skills, experience, or years of training.
On this podcast, you’ll learn how to:
-
Gain career clarity and redefine your professional direction
-
Identify and leverage transferable skills beyond clinical practice
-
Reinvent your career into non-clinical, portfolio, or alternative roles
-
Navigate professional identity shifts with confidence
-
Build a purpose-aligned career that reflects who you’re becoming
-
Expand your impact, influence, and fulfillment - on your own terms
Each episode delves into topics around career reinvention, how to pursue purpose-driven work, and practical strategies for health professionals ready to move from feeling stuck, into building aligned and fulfilling career paths.
If you’re a doctor, nurse, therapist, optometrist, or allied health professional wondering:
-
What can I do besides clinical practice?
-
How do I pivot my healthcare career without losing my identity?
-
Is it too late to change direction?
You’re in the right place.
This is where clinicians come to reinvent their careers - with clarity, confidence, and intention.

In Part 2 of our Interview with Dr Julie Trivedi, she chats about how as health professionals, we need to come back to the place of loving ourselves more, so that we can better care for and serve others.

This is officially the 100th episode of this podcast!!!
And today I talk about my journey to get to this point - both personally and professionally.
I reflect on how this niche was born, the platform Life Beyond Clinical Practice has created for me to share my experiences, insights and the lessons I have learned in my own professional journey. And most importantly, it’s a thank you to YOU, for listening to the podcast, and supporting this mission.
As shared in Episode 99, the most powerful niches are born where your lived experience meets an unmet need.
Truth is, I built Life Beyond Clinical Practice with no proof/ guarantee - only a belief in an unmet need; a desire to spark conversations around health professionals and their career journeys, which was not happening, and a passion to help others live more meaningfully through their work.
Yes, there were doubts. But I pushed through them. And in doing so, I grew immensely, and so did the podcast - now reaching thousands of people in more than 50 countries across the globe!
The impact and reach of what was a dream, has exceeded my expectations.
SO HERE WE ARE TODAY - 100 EPISODES LATER - here’s to the next 100!
So I challenge you to ask yourself:
- What do I wish had existed when I was struggling?
- What conversations aren’t happening yet?
- What could I build that blends my clinical insight with my passion?
Thank you for supporting this journey!

Putting yourself out there and marketing yourself confidently can feel big and uncomfortable for many of health professionals.
If you're transitioning into a new space or still figuring out what's next for your career, this part can feel especially overwhelming.
But, you don’t need to be perfect. You just need to start. There is a lot of vulnerability when it comes to marketing yourself for new roles..
It is important to reframe your thinking; that marketing yourself is part of the process of career growth. Its about helping others find you and know you — your voice, your message, your expertise. And when your career goals shift beyond clinical practice, that visibility becomes an important part of your future growth.
In this episode, you will learn 5 key strategies that will help you more intentionally market yourself for possible future roles outside of clinical care.

This episode unpacks the importance of networking for health professionals who want to pivot careers.
Years spent in clinical roles often confines health professionals to a siloed environment with limited access to a broader industry network. When you’re pivoting out of clinical practice, networking becomes critical as it’s more than just ‘meeting people’—it’s about opening doors to new ways of thinking, new opportunities, and even a new identity.
Clinicians are used to structured environments where roles are clearly defined. But outside of healthcare, career paths aren’t always linear, and opportunities often come from conversations rather than job postings.
Networking helps you see what’s possible by learning from others who’ve pursued different paths. It also helps you find mentors, discover roles you may never have considered, and—most importantly—start being seen as more than your job title. It’s one of the most powerful tools for accelerating your pivot.
In this episode You will learn:
- What mindset shifts are needed around networking for clinical professionals
- What types of networks or people health professionals should connect with outside of clinical settings
- How to diversify your network when pivoting out of clinical work
- The best networking strategies or platforms for career pivoters
- How to add value to a new network if you’re unsure what you bring to the table
Take Action
Here are three simple steps you can take this week to start building your network—without overwhelm
- Reach out to one person you admire who has made a similar pivot
- Join one new community—this could be a LinkedIn group or a professional association
- Update your LinkedIn headline to reflect where you’re headed, not just your current role.
You don’t need a huge network—you need a meaningful one.
