The path to a career change - whether clinical or nonclinical - is not a linear one. There are twists and turns in the road, and getting hung up on certain elements of the process too early can unintentionally derail your plans. In today's solo episode I'm discussing why asking "How?" too early in your career change journey has the potential to shut things down before they really get started. I'll also be talking about how to avoid this common trap by reframing your thought process and using some different three-letter words to keep moving forward.
