When you think about it, wellness is a bit of a caregiving field, where we strive to support people in advancing their health and wellness. For the typical wellness coordinator, the job can also be a bit frustrating as you battle office politics, limited budgets, and work environments that don't support health and wellness.
Today I talk to Angie Siebert, a former wellness coordinator who experienced burn out, and in her words, she was broken, angry and felt betrayed by the industry.
Angie left her corporate wellness job in September of 2016, where she had a good salary, a government pension, good benefits, a flexible work arrangement, and a supportive boss. All the things you want in a job. She left a job most people in this field wanted because she didn’t believe in what she was selling anymore.
In this episode, Angie shares her story. I didn't do my normal Q&A interview but instead just let her describe her thoughts, feelings and actions over the past 2 years with my follow up questions.
I want to thank Angie for sharing her story and being open, honest and vulnerable to the challenges she's faced and is facing as she starts a new career as a consultant, speaker and coach.
