In this episode, I am joined by Emma Jack, physiotherapist and coach, to discuss her journey from burnout to breakthrough. Emma was overwhelmed and unsatisfied with her career path until a panic attack in 2016 led her to reflect and make a change. Emma decided to take a step back and focus on herself to build a more sustainable, fulfilling career.

Her credentials may span two lines on a business card, but  in recent years Emma has totally transformed her practice and life in order to ensure that her  accomplishments no longer define her. Now, much of her time is spent working as a Co-Active  coach helping other clinicians show up fully for their lives and careers in a way that feels authentic,  sustainable and most importantly, fun!   Resources from this Episode:    Emma’s Resources Website Instagram Twitter   Subscribe to Healthy, Wealthy & Smart: Website:                      https://podcast.healthywealthysmart.com Apple Podcasts:          https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-wealthy-smart/id532717264 Spotify:                        https://open.spotify.com/show/6ELmKwE4mSZXBB8TiQvp73 SoundCloud:               https://soundcloud.com/healthywealthysmart Stitcher:                       https://www.stitcher.com/show/healthy-wealthy-smart iHeart Radio:               https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-healthy-wealthy-smart-27628927
