Professional Opinion Versus Personal Opinion

I'm curious to know how often your personal opinion or belief about something differs from your professional opinion or belief about something is?

Do you find it hard to separate the two? Or do you view your ability to separate the two as professionalism?

My views are closely aligned. I am pretty clear about my views and professionally I don't like to stray from my beliefs very often.

My opinion on something or someone rarely differs what does is how or whether I choose to say something or react.

This is my entire career in many ways. I work in 'healthcare' but don't fundamentally agree with the industry as a whole and am personally passionate about prevention, wellness education, etc.
I do focus in my daily work on making the areas I am involved in as good as possible (I work in EMR, AI, and tech) and know that I am a part of improving it in the ways that I can.
In my personal life, I run groups, blogs, classes, and other education to help people avoid needing to use the healthcare system whenever possible.
