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.

Too often, when we are unhappy in our jobs, we think that changing jobs will solve the problem. As a result, we spend countless hours scouring job boards for a new opportunity (which depending on your level of success could leave you feeling worse about yourself and your professional value). In today’s episode I will share why that is the number 1 mistake to avoid if you are unhappy in your career.
Here are my 5 tips:
- Don’t simply change jobs - first understand the root cause of your unhappiness
- Thinking clinical practice is all you can do - you have a whole range of non-clinical skills that can be applied to other roles
- Believing you are the problem - when we are out of alignment its easy to think you don't 'fit in' or are not good enough when compared to others' standards. It may simply be that you have outgrown your clinical role and need a new challenge.
- Focusing on hard skills only - soft (interpersonal) skills are increasingly becoming more valuable in organisations all across the world.
- Not recognising the value of a personal brand - having a public profile that speaks to your values and what you are passionate about professionally, with clarity, will go a long way towards opening new professional doors for you.

Too often, when we are unhappy in our jobs, we think that changing jobs will solve the problem. As a result, we spend countless hours scouring job boards for a new opportunity (which depending on your level of success could leave you feeling worse about yourself and your professional value). In today’s episode I will share why that is the number 1 mistake to avoid if you are unhappy in your career.
I have personally spent more hours of my life searching jobs boards for another opportunity that would allow me to escape a job I was unhappy in… in effect.. at those low points, I was simply looking for an escape plan… largely because I still had bills to pay and didn’t fully understand at the time how to own my value and position myself for the types of roles that would light me up because they were based on what I was naturally good at and interested in… so here are my 5 mistakes to avoid.
- Don’t simply change jobs - first identify the root cause of your unhappiness.
- Thinking clinical practice is all you can do – There are a whole range of non-clinical skills you gain in the course of your clinical career which can be translated to other roles more aligned with your interests.
- Believing you are the problem – This calls for lots of introspection... and accepting that there isn't a one size fits all model for health professions graduates.
- Focusing on hard skills only – more and more organisations are recognising the value of soft skills. Communication, teamwork, empathy. If you think of clinical practice context, most people if given the choice, would choose the doctor or nurse who was kind, patient, who listened to their problem and truly cared over one who had the fanciest equipment or better technical knowledge.
- Not recognising the value of a personal brand – If you want to position yourself for growth-oriented roles, especially non-clinical ones, you need to think of yourself as a brand – and have some degree of presence online, ensuring that your public-facing content aligns with how you want to be perceived or the value you have to deliver.

Many clinicians feel frustrated by the artificial ceiling that exists in clinical practice which seems to limit their career potential.
Identifying ways to exploit your full potential, either through carving out a specific niche that will allow you to grow and scale your professional impact, or by pivoting your career in a particular direction which aligns with your unique skillset and interest, allows you to set yourself apart from other clinicians in your field. In this way, you CAN break through that ceiling and live to your highest potential.

Your body speaks to you.
Problem is that most of us simply ignore our internal messaging system - or try to drown out the signals that keep trying to flag us down because we just want to get on with doing life.
But turning a blind eye to what you are sensing, feeling or even know emphatically, and tuning out of your intuition... eventually comes at a cost.
Being able to recognise consistent or persistent patterns of thought or emotions when faced with certain situations, roles and responsibilities as a clinical professional, or even potential career decisions, is key to helping you decide whether a career pivot is necessary; and possibly even which direction to take your career in.
By doing regular self check-ins to understand where your feelings may be coming from, journaling your thoughts and emotions, and talking to a trusted friend, coach or advisor, you can start seeing a clear path ahead toward professional fulfillment.
When you ignore these thoughts, feelings or emotions that may be pointing you in a particular direction, it can have dire consequences for your mental health and well being, as well as both your personal and professional life.

In this follow-up to episode 64 I provide some tangible steps on how to get unstuck in your career so you can continue on a path of professional growth and career advancement.
The truth is that healthcare needs more than just clinical expertise to deliver effective and efficient services to patients and populations.
And sometimes your opportunity to make the best impact may be in a role other than that of a clinical professional.
However, to step into those roles, you must be clear on what drives you and the direction in which you want to grow your career.
