Getting fired was the best thing that happened to me

I'm a psychiatrist who helps doctors grow online (for free): https://www.skool.com/level-up-social... I share how I was unexpectedly fired from my outpatient job after ongoing disagreements with administration, and how that experience taught me not to over-attach to workplaces that quickly move on once you’re gone. Two weeks later, needing income, I explored multiple psychiatry job options but none felt right, so I leaned into TikTok Live, where PMHNPs began asking me psychiatry questions. I created a low-cost PsychNP academy to teach PMHNP-focused psychiatry topics my training covered but their programs often didn’t, and after moving to my parents’ house to focus, it grew to 100+ members with comprehensive lectures and weekly Q&As. Alongside a growing private practice, I reached $10K/month in both streams, gained time and location freedom, and decided I’d never work a traditional job again while reflecting on how clinic profit incentives can conflict with patient improvement. 00:00 Fired Without Warning 01:19 Workplace Family Myth 02:24 Job Hunt Aftermath 03:16 TikTok Spark Idea 04:40 Building PsychNP Academy 05:52 Income Freedom Breakthrough 07:54 Clinic Profit Wakeup 09:33 Life Beyond Medicine 11:41 Social Media For Doctors 13:48 Reframing Failure With Gratitude 14:59 Burn The Ships Mindset 15:49 Mission And Next Steps
