15 Jun Why I Walked Away From My Career As A Physical Therapist
You should probably know that this article is potentially the most painful article I've ever written.
Painful because I'm openly sharing why I chose to walk away from a great profession.
As a matter of fact, this one is going to take some courage to hit the "publish" button.

Until now, I've never shared the full story, but because I'm asked about this so often, it's time.

I'll explain soon.
Things happen for a reason and it’s the choices we make that shape our lives.
