One day I’m going to start a blog
Hi, I’m Terri! For years I’ve talked about starting up a blog. And for years, I put it off and made excuses why I couldn’t – that I didn’t have enough time, that I was too busy with work, that I would start next year – the list goes on. But really, what held me back was fear.
Fear of putting myself out there. Fear that no one would care what I have to say. Or worse, fear of judgement – what if people thought my content was irrelevant or silly? “What would I even talk about?” I’d ask myself. “Who would want to hear what I have to say?” Round and round the doubts would swirl.
But it ultimately boiled down to one thing – fear of failure.
But I do have something to say, and I’d rather try and fail at something than never having tried. And while I can’t control who will listen, I do hope my words will find someone who needs to hear them. And that’s why I’m here.
This blog is for healthcare professionals – especially pharmacists – who are looking for more, wanting to contribute to a greater purpose but finding themselves feeling stuck. Uncertain of your next step and feeling alone as you navigate a complicated journey. This blog is for my younger self – the one who needed guidance, encouragement, and reassurance that there is a way forward.
In 2014, after seven years at the same company, I left retail pharmacy and took a leap into the unknown. Since then I have been on a wild ride outside the four walls of pharmacy – exploring healthcare technology, business consulting, and the wild and wacky world that is Amazon Pharmacy and Amazon Web Services. I’ve learned a lot, and I want to share those lessons learned, what has helped me along the way, and what I wish I had known.
I want to help you find your way and realize that you don’t have to stay stuck on a path that no longer serves you. There is a way to greater impact, to contribute your unique voice and skills, and you don’t have to settle.
There is a world of possibilities out there and you are not alone.
I believe that we are better together. I believe that pharmacists have incredible value to offer, and I seek to expand our impact by expanding our minds. But before we can transform pharmacy, first we must transform ourselves.
I see a world and profession that needs change, that is hungry for change – but often feels stuck knowing where to get started. I am tired of waiting for change – let’s BE the change. I hope you will join me.
So there, I’ve done it. I’ve started a blog.
Now I’d love to know – what is one thing that you’ve been wanting to do in your life that you’ve been putting off due to fear or uncertainty? Let’s talk about it. Share in the comments below, or drop me a message. I’d love to hear your story. Let’s make the change happen—together.
