We dive deep into the realities of career transitions for therapists facing burnout. Elizabeth shares her personal journey from teaching to becoming an operations manager, providing practical advice for therapists like us who are curious about leveraging our unique skills in new fields.

Together, we explore opportunities in customer success, sales, marketing, and revenue operations, breaking down how Aspireship’s accessible training programs can help us reskill and upskill for new roles.

Elizabeth and I talk about the challenges and rewards of career pivots, emphasizing the importance of career clarity, networking, and making a mindset shift. We discuss how to assess our existing skills, explore new career paths, and take concrete steps toward change—all while acknowledging the emotional complexities that come with such a major shift.

This conversation is packed with motivation, actionable insights, and real-world examples from Elizabeth’s work with people who’ve successfully transitioned careers. If you’re feeling stuck, unsure of what’s next, or ready to explore new possibilities, this episode is for you.
