Healing Medicine: Mindfulness, Mindset & Physician Well-Being

245. How to Move Forward When You’re at a Crossroads with Dr. Heather Fork


Listen Later

What do you do when you feel stuck, unsure, or afraid to take the next step? 

This episode is for anyone who is standing at a crossroads in their career or life, feeling uncertain about what’s next.

We are joined by Dr. Heather Fork, a former dermatologist who has now been a coach longer than she was in clinical practice. She shares her own journey of realizing medicine wasn’t the right fit for her, how fear often keeps us stuck, and how inner work is the key to finding clarity.

Together, we explore how to shift from fear-based thinking to possibility-based thinking and how to reconnect with yourself to make decisions that align with who you truly are. If you've been questioning your next steps, this conversation is filled with wisdom and encouragement to help you move forward with confidence.

Pearls of Wisdom:
  • Fear-based thinking often keeps us stuck—awareness is the first step to moving past it.

  • Change doesn’t come from external shifts alone; it starts from the inside out.

  • Reconnecting with your passions and energy is key to finding clarity in your career and life.

  • You don’t have to know exactly what’s next before making a change.

  • Pay attention to the energy of alignment—does something feel expansive or constricting?

If you are feeling called to do your own inner work and gain clarity on your next steps, I invite you to join me for a retreat where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Learn more at https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats
