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.

Getting clear on your purpose, or more specifically, centering your contributions around a making a specific impact in an identified area of need in your profession, will fuel your career growth and expand your horizons as a healthcare professional, much like it has for our guest in this episode, Dr Adaku Obia, Nigerian optometrist and social media influencer in the health education space.
As it did for Dr Obia, being brave enough to venture into new territory will also help set you apart and support a pivot in whatever direction you choose to take your career.

Networking is one of THE most underutilized career growth strategies within the health professions, especially if you want to make a pivot.
And not just networking for the sake of it, but strategic networking that aligns with the direction in which you want to grow your career.
When you understand how to identify and tap into the relationships with people and organisations around you and leverage those to advance your career goals, it will shorten to the path towards your career objectives.

This is a second episode in 'The Element' series - from the book by Ken Robinson.
The lie that health professionals should fit into a singular model in the practice of their profession limits so many in fulfilling their full and true potential - in both their personal and professional lives. Whether within or outside of clinical practice, you can embrace your uniqueness, weave in your personal interests and find creative expression of your natural giftings so you can live out your full value professionally.
Will you be brave enough to live your true self? And how will this translate to your career and the direction in which you want to pivot?
