EP.56 Finding Your Passion and New Career Through Major Adversity with Hannah Bailey

Welcome to Episode 56 of the Blue Light Leavers Podcast. Today I'm talking to Hannah Bailey. Hannah is a former police officer and is the founder of the Blue Light Wellbeing, she is a psychotherapist in Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT), she's a Well-Being Life Coach, she holds qualifications in mindfulness-based stress reduction, counselling PTSD, and Reconnective Healing. In this interview, we talk about her time in the police and being diagnosed with cancer... twice.. and how going through the toughest of times and major life threatening adversity, helped her identify her passion and a new career path. We talk about why she chose to resign and the impact that decision had on her, and then the interview goes two ways. We talk about Psychotherapy and Coaching as a possible career path, and then we talk about the positive impact that this type of therapy can have on you, how it helps and what Hannah can do for you.  She's a true Subject Matter Expert, and we are incredibly lucky to have her in the Blue Light Leavers group and The Academy.  Don't forget, you can also visit the website and at www.bluelightleavers.com and join the private Facebook Group via www.facebook.com/groups/bluelightleavers The Academy Membership from Blue Light Leavers, gives you all the help you need to find your new role or career, including live sessions with Andy and others who've been there and done it along with subject matter experts, talking CV's LinkedIn, interviews and so much more.
