Episode Description
The path of least resistance in a career is not always the best long-term fit, nor the most fulfilling. And worst still is when we ignore the persistent voice in our heads telling us exactly the career path we know is right for us. Dr. Malea Maynard learned all these lessons and then some, as she transitioned mid career from Audiology to Medical Doctor. She had known since she was a young child that she wanted to be a doctor but somehow convinced herself it just wasn’t meant to be. At age 32, while in the midst of her work in Audiology, she decided to go to medical school. She simply could not ignore the persistent inner compass that kept telling her that this was the work she was meant to do. In exchange for heeding this compass and with the investment a lot of time, effort, and money into this path of medicine, Dr. Maynard has been handsomely rewarded with fulfillment and purpose as a Family Medicine physician
