"This book helped process the complicated emotions related to leaving residency. Extremely relatable and valuable in my decision making. It helped me communicate what I'm going through to others and helped me decide how I will spend my time between residency and whatever comes next."

"Chelsea’s story was so compelling and exactly what I wish I had available to me when I decided to leave my residency program. Many parts of her book parallel my own journey, though her process to reach her decision was much more well thought out! I think anyone questioning if practicing medicine is right for them will find the book a huge help in deciding what to do next in their journey."

"Fantastic. I went through the same feelings back in 2008. I thought I was alone. Turns out, there is a huge community of people out there experiencing the same things. Face your fears. Take courage. Highly recommended."

"This book really pushes you to think outside your comfort zone! It is so inspiring to see Chelsea take a huge leap of faith and follow her real dreams. If you are struggling with changing careers or if you just have that calling nagging at you I highly recommend this book. It is a great example of what is possible when you open your mind up to it."

"In this book, the author describes in detail her decision to leave her medical career and seek out a career and life she loves. It was incredibly helpful to read about the author’s thought process of making this life-changing choice; the myriad of factors she considers are explained in-depth and will spur the thinking of others also considering this choice. The book provides a great balance of telling the author’s personal story while making it applicable to anyone else, and is well-written and very inspiring. The content is relevant for anyone considering making a big career change, not just those in the medical field. The reflection exercises and questions at the end of the book are valuable and provide some soft coaching for those who do not wish to work directly with a coach. If you have invested a lot in a career track and are thinking of making a bold move to something new, you will definitely want to read this book!"

"I LOVE this book! It's a beautiful story about Chelsea's own journey to quit medicine, but her lessons in it are extremely relatable for most people who have gone along in life trying to fit a mold that isn't for them. In this book you can find both useful tips about how to evaluate your own path & get more aligned with what is in your heart as well as a relatable story about the ways that we can inadvertently get trapped in the treadmill of success/achievements and the impact this has on our soul and body. Highly recommend."

"This is the book I needed when I was contemplating leaving medicine. Honest, insightful, and a refreshing reframe of the reasons you've been telling yourself why you can't leave your career. "No one leaves a career in medicine, right?" Wrong.
Chelsea is the real deal. Living proof that there is health, hope and happiness on the other side. Her story is one of courage, but more importantly she shares that she shouldn't be the only one willing to leave a situation of feeling burned out and stuck. We are all capable but have to take the time to listen to what we want and take action inspired by our intuition instead of societal expectations. A quick read but packed with actionable advice, you are sure to get some amazing value, resources, and more from this one!"
