149. How to Get Clear Whether or Not You Should Leave Your 9-5 with Chelsea Turgeon

Join me in today's episode with Chelsea Turgeon, who is on a mission to help healthcare professionals find purpose and fulfillment in their work — regardless of whether they stay on their current career path. Chelsea is a digital nomad, creating a framework for others to go from burnout to finding their career freedom. Chelsea is also the author of Residency Dropout, which details how she quit medicine, redefined her career success, and offers applicable tools for those considering the same.

In this episode, Chelsea shares her journey from leaving a clinical medicine career to becoming a globe-trotting entrepreneur and coach. She discusses the pivotal moment when she realized her soul was withering away within the confines of her medical profession. She immersed herself in nature, practiced yoga, and wrote daily journal entries to connect with her intuition. Through this process, she ultimately found her true path and purpose. She challenges the idea that one's purpose must be tied to one's career, suggesting that fulfillment can be found in various aspects of life.

About Trang

Trang is an international and TEDx speaker, and a leading life and business mentor for those who know they're made for more. In particular, those who are hungry to build their dream business of impact to replace their profession, so they can live with freedom and fulfillment.

Born to Vietnamese immigrant parents, Trang spent the first part of her life succumbing to traditional Asian expectations, where she started her career as a Physiotherapist. However, her rebellious and visionary personality eventually led her to question how she could help people not just as athletes but as humans.

Trang started her coaching business but initially had no idea what she was doing, so she quickly overworked herself to the point of burn-out. Not just once, but twice, she fell asleep at the wheel and caused two accidents.

That is why Trang now runs the free and fulfilled business movement, so people can achieve business success while thriving not just as business owners, but as human beings. 

Ultimately, she believes that when enough people thrive, humanity will thrive, and when humanity thrives, the world will thrive for all of us and future generations.
