A Mid-Career Shift in Healthcare — Part II

Part I of this conversation was about the practical side of career change — credentials, finances, identity, the mechanics of letting go. The response from colleagues was revealing. Many recognized themselves in the questions.

But some replies hit me deeply. They pointed at something I often stepped around.

So Part II goes somewhere different. Not just the logistics of career transition — but the emotional ground underneath it. The questions most of us keep editing out of the conversation.

I wonder if any of these feel familiar.
