????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. ????️????????????⚖️
