About Me

Hi! I’m Anjalee, aka the Disillusioned Medic. I’m a writer, a strategic marketing professional and a career coach for career-questioning souls.

I qualified from the University of Bristol in 2013 and started working in London. However, I couldn’t shut down the niggling suspicion that had been eating away at me for years: that the career I had worked so hard for was just not right for me. My mental health was suffering, I was bored, unhappy, and felt very lost, so I left the medical profession in 2015.

I knew it was the right thing to do, but I was wracked with grief and guilt over leaving and had absolutely no idea what to do next. So – naturally – I wrote a blog to vent about it to the internet… and the Disillusioned Medic was born!

Now I coach not only medics, but other professionals who feel as stuck in their careers as I once did. I find it immensely rewarding to support those who are really struggling to see the way out of this situation, as I know personally how terrifying it feels. I’m also a mama to my wonderful daughter!

I hope that hearing and reading about my story will inspire you, make you feel less alone and show you that the mountain can indeed be moved.
