🎉It’s been two whole years (as of yesterday) since I conquered the CLNC exam and officially became a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. 🧑🏼💻
🌀Those of you who’ve followed my journey on LinkedIn (remember, www.drassassociates.com and the business pages on social media came a year later!) know the early days were a whirlwind. 🤯
🤹Juggling studying, COVID, job hunting, the exam, and then the initial challenges of establishing a work-at-home routine while creating a business as well as nurturing a bigger, better network – it’s been intense! 😓
🏆But the wins were just as exhilarating:
- Expertise Unleashed: Finally putting my legal and healthcare knowledge to work in a meaningful way! ⚖️🩺
- Flexible Freedom: Establishing a work schedule that actually fit my life, not the other way around. 9-to-5!
- Fulfilling Impact: Knowing I’m contributing to the fair and just legal representation of my clients. ⚖️
😮💨But the real win, the one I celebrate today, is finally being able to exhale.🫁
💃This doesn’t mean I’ve lost my drive or determination. The fire’s still burning, 🔥 but now it’s fueled by passion, not fear. 🪷
I have been cultivating a beautiful shift towards mindfulness; I’m trying to be present in each moment, peacefully focused and productively engaged. (♀️ Integrating a regular qigong practice has been key.🈸)
♀️ In this kind of business lifestyle, where every day can be different, staying mindful helps me organically accept the unexpected and navigate the flow with grace. (Structure anchors such as #motivationalmonday, #tuesdaytips, #wednesdaywins, etc… help to remember the basics.)📏
🗓️Two years as a CLNC have been a surprise journey of growth, challenge, and ultimately, fulfillment. 🕊️🩺👩🏼⚖️
