In this episode of Doctors at Work, Elle Todd tells me about her journey from full time medicine to pursuing a portfolio career, highlighting the importance of self-reflection and proactive exploration in determining one's career path. The discussion covers various aspects of career transition, including the challenges of burnout, the benefits of a portfolio career, and the importance of aligning one's values and interests with their profession. Some key questions to ask is what is it that you want, and where do you want to be in 10 years time. The conversation concludes with us emphasising the need for thoughtful decision-making, awareness, and self-care in the process.

Elle Todd is a part-time A&E doctor, business owner, creator, and coach. She started her businesses with her brother during her foundation training, which include Doormarked (a property-tech platform) and Not Another Gift Company (an e-commerce business selling personalised prints & motivational gifts). She has managed to combine her interests in medicine & entrepreneurship to create a portfolio career where she finds fulfilment in various pursuits that align with her values. This hasn’t come without its challenges though.... She shares her journey and lessons she has learnt on the way through her Instagram, weekly newsletter & blog to help others navigate career doubts, overcome burnout & follow any entrepreneurial dreams. She is on a mission to educate and empower others facing similar challenges in their careers!
