EP013 | From Daily Fatigue To Energised Joy Every Day, with Amy-Beth Mellor

Live your purpose and BE HAPPY
𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗔 𝗡𝗨𝗧𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟:
Join me as I talk to a former client, Amy-Beth Mellor who I’m personally super inspired by.
Amy-Beth spent 20 years working in the NHS as a dietician in pretty senior roles, whilst battling a number of physical health issues that she’d had since childhood, as well as an inexplicable level of exhaustion that left her unable to function during her time off.
Then, in 2020, she got a late-in-life diagnosis of Autism and ADHD, which finally shed some light on her long-held work struggle, and started her journey to understanding her own requirements for a right-fit career and lifestyle.
In this episode you will hear us talk about Amy-Beth’s very real and detailed experience in trying to operate in a role that wasn’t right for her and the impact it had.
We also talk through how she determined the criteria for her ideal career and the path she navigated to finding the kind of work she loves doing today - which she still can’t believe she gets paid to do every day! (HINT: puppies are involved).
𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦:
In this episode Amy-Beth and I chatted about:
• The specific role-based challenges Amy-Beth faced as a Registered Dietician working for the NHS, and the impact of those job requirements on her physically and mentally
• The physical health issues Amy-Beth managed day-to-day, which initially clouded the signs that she was doing the wrong kind of work
• How Amy-Beth’s Autism and ADHD diagnoses during the pandemic made a life changing difference to her, and what that meant in terms of her career criteria and choices
• Amy-Beth’s experience in her first change of career (from NHS to IT) and how she learnt that this still wasn’t right
• Her journey to discovering why dogs held the secret for her!
• How Amy-Beth made the transition to self-employment and a role that is her undisputed “dream job”
Listening to Amy-Beth’s story might be really helpful for those who either recognise some of her struggle, or who see similar signs in someone they care about.
If that’s you, please do listen in and share this episode with others. Amy-Beth and I would be so delighted to think that our conversation might make a difference for you or a loved one ❤️
