Ep. 25: Burnt Out or Ready to Pivot? How to Know When It’s Time for a Career Change with Annie Schuessler

To be a therapist, or not to be a therapist, that is the question… 

Raise your hand if you’ve thought about stepping away from clinical work 🙋‍♀️

Over the past 18 months, many therapists have questioned their desire to continue being therapists… But how do you know if it’s really time to change careers or if you’re just burnt out? 

Annie Schuessler, founder of Rebel Therapist, joined me to talk about her decision to stop being a therapist and to share her wisdom with other therapists thinking about doing the same. 

Listen to the episode here 👇

In this episode, Annie will share:

  • How they knew it was time to stop being a therapist (and what it was like to transition from therapy to coaching) 
  • The fail-proof Burn Your Therapy License exercise for folks on the fence about what to do next in their careers
  • Why you should set firm boundaries in your business before making any big changes (and how to do it using a color-coded system) 
  • The magical 3-letter metric that’ll guarantee you love your work every day of the year 

Annie is the kindest and most down-to-earth business coach I know. 

She is full of wisdom and strategies that’ll help you go from burnt out and uninspired to renewed, refreshed, and ready for the next big stage of your career.
