EP023 | Rediscovering the joy of Sundays. From PR to Physiotherapy, with Amy McLean
Retraining to have a more fulfilling career
𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗔 𝗡𝗨𝗧𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟:
I invite a former client and friend to come and share her career transition story with you.
Amy and I first met in our old lives, when she was one of my PR clients. Years later, she became one of my coaching clients, when she was seeking a career change that would make her truly happy.
Today, after 18 years as a communications and public relations professional in IT, Amy is a registered physiotherapist. As you can imagine - that is quite a big change!
In this conversation we talk about what she was originally doing, and why she felt stuck, and she shares the three big life events that personally led to her review her career path and seek out a change.
You’ll also hear how she made the decision to become a physiotherapist and the training that it entailed, and we get into how she feels now that she’s actually in her new career!
Come join us.
𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦:
In this episode we talked about:
• Amy’s original role and why she felt it wasn’t for her anymore
• The three big life events that caused Amy to deeply evaluate what she needed and wanted from a career. We get into:
o Her personal IVF journey, which sadly wasn’t successful
o A close family member having lung cancer, and her having to care for him
o The death of her grandparents, who both lived past their 100th year, and how carers and physios made it possible for them to live in their own home
• What Amy did to research and work out which fields and careers might suit her
• How she discovered the field of physiotherapy, and determined the specialism she’s now in
You’ll also get to hear us get into Amy’s journey to fully transitioning into her new career and how she feels about it today compared to her old career life.
Amy is so clearly happy with her decision that she’s an inspiration to listen to!
I know you will enjoy this episode!
You can find out more about Amy McLean in the show notes, on my website.

Gonna give this a try! I think as humans we tend to moan a lot and take for granted the good things (until they're not there) - but when I was watching the video, the things that popped into my head were the likes of being thankful for 'heating' (as it's freezing out), 'food' (as I'd just eaten a sandwich and felt much better after than before) and 'not having a cold' (after I thought I was getting one) lol - would never think to appreciate normally.
Totally love this Austin! x
just done it, only to discover my goal for the year isn't sorting my house out and preparing for the builders to arrive, which is a bit unfortunate as the scaffolding arrives Thursday. oops.
