Small Habits, Big Career Change: Authentic Growth with Dr Kate Ella

Thinking about a career change? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to take the leap? In this episode of The Live More Experiment with @the_live_more_coach, I chat with Dr Kate Ella, a former NHS Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who made the brave decision to leave her “dream career” and completely reinvent her life and work.

We discuss: * What it really takes to make a radical career change * How to quiet the noise of what you “should” do * Why putting yourself first can transform your work, health, and life * The messy, emotional, but rewarding reality of career transitions * How micro-habits can create big professional and personal growth  Whether you’re considering a career pivot, trying to create more balance, or wanting to show up more fully in life and online, this episode will give you actionable insights and reassurance that transitions are messy - and that’s okay!  Connect with Dr Kate Ella: Instagram: @drkateella_health [https://www.instagram.com/drkateella_health/] Website: drkateella.co.uk [https://drkateella.co.uk/]  Connect with me Hannah Buchan: Instagram: @the_live_more_coach [https://www.instagram.com/the_live_more_coach] hannahbuchancoaching.com [https://www.hannahbuchancoaching.com/]   Enjoyed today’s episode?
