  • 116 | Beyond the Clinic: Unlocking New Career Opportunities in Optometry
    Oct 20 2025

    In this episode, Diane pays homage to her roots in optometry - a profession that shaped her journey and now serves as a mirror for many clinicians feeling stuck or unfulfilled. She opens up about her own moment of realization in practice - when the daily routine of eye exams began to feel like a box rather than a calling - and shares how she found purpose beyond the consulting room.

    If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this all I’ll be doing for the rest of my career?” - this episode is for you.

    💡 Key Themes
    • The Feeling of Stagnation: Many optometrists feel boxed in by the repetitive nature of clinical work. Dr Diane shares her experience of monotony and the yearning for growth and deeper impact.

    • Breaking Free from Professional Identity: Attachment to clinical titles and roles can limit our sense of possibility. Know that your value extends far beyond your current job description.

    • Facing the Fear of Instability: Leaving clinical practice can feel risky, but vulnerability is part of growth. Dr Diane reframes “starting over” as building from where you are.

    • Lack of Visibility ≠ Lack of Options: The issue isn’t that there are no opportunities outside optometry - it’s that many don’t know where to look. This podcast exists to change that.

    🧭 Personality-Based Pivot Pathways

    Dr Diane introduces the concept of personality-driven pivot paths, helping you identify roles aligned with who you are:

    • The Innovator – drawn to startups, medtech, and product development

    • The Educator – thrives in teaching, training, and curriculum design

    • The Strategist – excels in policy, research, and consulting

    • The Connector – loves relationship-building, business development, and partnerships

    • The Builder – flourishes in entrepreneurship, consulting, or practice ownership

    🔑 Takeaway Message

    “Your optometry career is a foundation, not a box.”

    There are fulfilling, purpose-driven career paths waiting beyond the exam room - and they start with understanding who you are and what you’re meant to contribute.

    ✨ Quote to Reflect On

    “We should pursue purpose beyond the paycheck.” – Dr Diane Van Staden

    Journal Prompt

    What part of your optometry career has felt most life-giving - and what part has felt limiting? What might that reveal about your next chapter?

  • 114 | Navigating Imposter Syndrome in healthcare: Interview with Sonja Cronjé
    Oct 6 2025

    In this episode of Life Beyond Clinical Practice, Dr. Diane interviews Sonja Cronjé, an imposter syndrome coach, who shares her journey from optometry to coaching. Sonja discusses the challenges of self-doubt, burnout, and career transitions faced by healthcare professionals. She explains what imposter syndrome is, its signs, and coping strategies to manage it effectively. The conversation emphasizes the importance of addressing imposter syndrome for personal and professional growth, especially for those considering career pivots.

    Takeaways

    Imposter syndrome affects many high achievers, including well-known figures. Perfectionism can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy. Talking about imposter feelings can help normalize the experience. Challenging negative thoughts is crucial for overcoming self-doubt. Focusing on personal progress rather than comparing to others is key. Keeping a confidence file can help internalize achievements. Feedback and failure are essential for building confidence. Imposter syndrome can hold professionals back from pursuing new opportunities. Managing imposter syndrome is an ongoing journey. Healthcare professionals' well-being directly impacts patient care.
