Ever wonder if there’s a way to use your healthcare skills outside of your day job?

In this week’s episode of the Business of Ergonomics Podcast, I’m sharing a real story of how one healthcare professional started doing office ergonomic assessments on the side… while still working full-time at a hospital.

She didn’t go back to school.
She didn’t open an office.
She didn’t wait for the “perfect” time.

Jess used what she already knew about body mechanics, combined it with my Ergonomics Blueprint, and got her first paid client from a friend with neck pain during tax season. (Classic, right?)

In the episode, I walk you through:

  • How Jess got started (and what she was worried about)

  • What she charged and how long it took

  • Why office ergonomics is such a great option for healthcare pros

  • How you can get started too

This story is a powerful example of what’s possible when you add a little ergonomic strategy to your existing expertise. Whether you're burnt out, craving more flexibility, or just curious—this episode is for you.
