In Episode 2 of Season 3, Arthi has a inspiring conversation with guest Dr Nazan Artun about being a renaissance woman, a term give to her by the respected Dorie Clark, who is her mentor, and also Tasha Eurich, who we featured in the previous episode.
Nazan has a multitude of interests, experiences and expertise, leading her to being a musician, being a coach, being a former healthcare professional, and currently a medical affairs professional. Born, raised and having developed a well respected medical career in Turkey plus being a renowned songwriter and musician, Nazan’s life was thriving in her home country. But after meeting her boyfriend, now husband, who is an incredible musician Nazan chose to move to Boston to ensure his musical career had the best opportunity for growth and success. However, what Nazan had not expected was that she would have to start from scratch, to build her credibility in this new market. But she did, and she has, and she continues to deepen into her passions in her new home country.
Nazan shares the importance of having great support structures to enables one’s passions to develop. And when you have multiple areas that you love, it comes with compromise, focus and discipline.
Some wise words from Nazan:
- “passion is something I think just you need to give your ear to your heart to it and listen to it”
- “I believe that everyone has a big potential inside them. They just need to maybe receive some help, or create space, or find a way to reconnect with that power within them. And really prioritize it. Otherwise, we're all sleeping in this life. And it's just life is happening to us.”
- “mentors are so valuable, we'll learn a lot from them. But the mentors who let us be without an ego or without emotional need, I think they also in return, they learn a lot.”
