What if the perfect job on paper isn’t the right life for you? In this conversation, Tara Renze sits down with Dr. Ashley McClellan, a former hospital CEO who chose purpose over prestige and founded MedCurate, a marketplace that gives nurses and clinicians real control over when, where, and for how much they work. They unpack how to tell burnout from calling, the courage it takes to walk away from a role that everyone else envies, and the leadership mindset that “cares for the caregivers.” If you’ve wondered whether leaving the perfect job may be the best thing you do, this episode is your blueprint for career reinvention, authenticity, and people-first leadership in and beyond healthcare.
Ashley McClellan is a former hospital CEO who spent nearly two decades leading major healthcare organizations before founding MedCurate, a digital platform reshaping healthcare staffing. With a background in finance, Spanish, and hospital administration, Ashley has built her career at the intersection of leadership, purpose, and innovation. Today she serves on multiple boards, teaches future healthcare leaders at the University of Kansas, and continues her mission to care for the caregivers by helping them align their work with their calling.
