“I was more afraid of regret than I was of failing.” — Dr. Eric Arzubi

Imagine having a corner office on Wall Street by age 30, but feeling like something important was missing. In this episode, Dr. Aimie sits down with Dr. Eric Arzubi, who had this exact experience. Despite his success, he felt a deep pull toward something more meaningful. That pull eventually led him to leave finance behind, become a psychiatrist, and take on the challenge of transforming mental health care in Montana through trauma-informed telehealth.

Dr. Arzubi shares his inspiring journey of walking away from financial security to follow a calling, revealing how the fear of lifelong regret ultimately outweighed the fear of change. Through his story, you'll discover why the search for meaningful work can be driven by different emotions and how creating "safe enough" spaces provides the foundation for career change.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to know if fear is trauma or just healthy caution when facing change
Why nervous system safety is key for successful career changes
Steps for transitioning into a meaningful career
Solving mental health access gaps with innovative telehealth solutions
How to navigate pushback when changing careers or implementing new ideas

Whether you or someone you know is contemplating a career change, this episode offers practical advice for recognizing whether your anxiety is a trauma response or a signal that it's time to move toward a more meaningful path. Learn how to move forward with confidence instead of staying stuck in fear, and discover why what feels like anxiety might actually be your body's wisdom guiding you toward better, more fulfilling alignment.
