who are you becoming the word becoming
0:02
is so powerful because it's not just
0:05
about who you were or even who you are
0:08
right now It's about who you're growing
0:10
into And the truth is transitioning from
0:14
one career to the next isn't just about
0:17
finding a new job It's about stepping
0:19
into a new version of yourself And
0:22
here's the challenge What happens when
0:24
the person you've always been no longer
0:28
exists in the same way when I left
0:31
clinical practice it felt like I was
0:33
leaving behind who I was My entire
0:36
identity was built around being a doctor
0:39
My skills my knowledge my purpose So
0:42
without the title who was I dr Breny
0:47
Brown a researcher and professor once
0:49
said "Owning our stories and loving
0:52
ourselves through the process is the
0:54
bravest thing we'll ever do." Your
0:57
career transition is your chance to own
1:00
your own story To take everything you've
1:03
learned everything you've become and
1:05
decide who you want to become next But
1:09
before you can fully step into that you
1:11
have to ask yourself some very tough
1:14
questions What do I want my life to look
1:17
like what values do I want to carry
1:20
forward what skills do I still want to
1:23
use even in my new environment and
1:26
perhaps the hardest question of all am I
1:30
willing to let go of the old identity
1:32
that no longer serves me because here's
1:36
something I need you to hear You're not
1:38
abandoning your past You're not
1:40
betraying the years of education the
1:43
sacrifices the long nights You're simply
1:46
allowing yourself to evolve Think of
1:49
your identity as a tree Your past
1:52
experiences your knowledge your ability
1:54
to think critically and help others
1:57
Those are the roots They are deep They
2:02
unshakable But now you're growing new
2:05
branches new opportunities new
2:08
possibilities And growth is not a loss
2:11
Growth is never a loss It's an
2:14
expansion So let me ask you this again
2:17
Who are you becoming because you are not
2:20
just a former doctor or nurse or insert
2:23
whatever career you're walking away from
2:26
You're someone who is becoming something
2:28
greater something new something that
2:31
aligns with the person you were meant to
2:32
be right now Dr Armenia Ibara a leading
2:36
expert on career transitions says "We
2:40
don't think our way into a new way of
2:41
living We live our way into a new way of
2:45
thinking." That means your next step
2:47
isn't about waiting for the perfect
2:49
answer to come to you It's about
2:52
exploring experimenting trying new
2:54
things and learning from action Too
2:57
often we wait until we feel fully ready
3:00
before making a move But clarity doesn't
3:03
come from standing still It comes from
3:06
taking a step Even when you're unsure
3:09
where that path leads So as you move
3:12
forward I want you to remember this You
3:15
are not lost You're evolving You're not
3:18
giving up You're stepping into something
3:20
new And you don't need permission to
3:23
grow beyond what you once were Because
3:25
this is your journey your transformation
3:29
And the best part you can reinvent
