You know this feeling.
You're good at what you do. Maybe really good. You've built expertise, earned respect, helped countless people. But lately, you catch yourself wondering:
Is this it?
The options you can see either feel like more of the same or like throwing away everything you've worked for. So you stay. Because staying feels safer than making the wrong move.
But what if the problem isn't your options? What if it's how you're looking at them?
Hard-Won Truths of Healthcare Careers
Through countless conversations with healthcare professionals worldwide, I've learned that:Impact and wellbeing strengthen each other
Setting boundaries makes you more effective
Success has many paths, not one perfect route
Your expertise deserves to be valued
Question the "shoulds" - they rarely serve you
Even meaningful work has seasons of change
The real question isn't "What should I do?" It's...
"What do I actually want?"
For years, you've made decisions based on what seemed smart, stable, or expected. That's not wrong. I'm sure you've gained a lot, just like I did.
But somewhere along the way, you stopped asking what you wanted. Maybe because it felt selfish. Maybe because you weren't sure you'd like the answer.
This is where most career advice gets it wrong. It jumps straight to strategy without helping you figure out what you're actually strategising toward.
Hi, I'm Dr Ruth Vo
My approach is different. I work with health professionals who want to find a path that honours both their expertise and their wellbeing - one that doesn't cost them themselves. Together, we:
Get curious about what's possible
Challenge the beliefs that keep you stuck in either/or thinking and give yourself permission to want something different.
Get clear about what matters
Create your Career Compass - a way of making decisions based on your actual priorities, not inherited expectations.
Get confident to take action
Identify your Focus, Function, and Impact, then prototype your way toward work that fits who you're becoming.
This isn't about dramatic career pivots or throwing away your expertise. It's about evolution - building on what you've learned while creating space for who you're becoming.
What clients say:
I thought I had to choose between staying miserable or starting over. Ruth helped me see options I couldn't see before - ways to use my skills that actually energise me instead of draining me.
For the first time, I'm making career decisions based on what I want, not what I think I should want. It feels daunting and liberating all at once.
I didn't need a complete career change - I needed permission to want something different and a process for figuring out what that was.
