Episode #124: You Don't Have To Hit A Bullseye With Your Career Change


Listen Later

A common fear that can hold physicians back from making a career change is the fear of making the wrong choice. But what if I were to tell you there is no "wrong" choice? Today's guest, Dr. Kimberly Hartzfeld, is a former OB-GYN who is here to discuss how she reinvented herself as a functional medicine physician. She'll share how she knew she was ready for a change, the details of her journey, and why you are never making a wrong choice, as long as you are moving forward and staying true to your values.
