Do you tend to see potential growth opportunities then find yourself leaning away? Join me and my guest Dr. Lida Turner as we dive into how to take advantage of those fortuitous openings when they occur. She did–and it led to a professional side gig that she loves. Lida Turner, MD, is a psychiatrist in Seattle, currently in transition from medical director at a large medical system to a private practice of her own. Her passions include caring for the whole person, working on functional outcomes, and helping others advocate for themselves in the complex world of medicine. She is also the team psychiatrist for the Seattle Storm, and hopes to be able to provide care to more athletes in the region.

If you’d like time to talk about challenges you’re facing, you can book time to chat with me. More info here about how to do that!
