In this episode, I’ll discuss 12 strategies that helped me personally with my own Burn-Out Recovery a few years ago. Learn how to not only climb out of the black hole of burn-out, but how to stay away from that slippery slope in the future.
Since burn-out is a "chronic" stress phenomenon, remember to be patient with the recovery process because otherwise, you may give up on yourself prematurely. Recognize that a good portion of burn-out recovery is an inside job – so don’t wait for the administrators/others to address every single one of your pain points for you. Because that's just not possible. Be willing to learn how to put on your own oxygen mask first. Your patients will thank you for it. And remember that at the end of the day, we’re all on the same team – we’re all in this earth school together my friend.
Key Points in This Episode of A Dose of Perspective :
Why it’s important to design a burn-out recovery treatment plan that feels right to youSome of the common ways we sabotage our own attempts at self-careWhy it’s important to understand the difference between a stressor & the feeling of stressWhy silencing your inner judge is a powerful strategy to address the cynicism of occupational burn-outStrategies to prevent your professional life from bleeding into your personal lifeStrategies to stay away from the slippery slope of burn-out in the future—

In this episode I discuss why the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the mass exodus of healthcare workers across the globe. I review the 3 dimensions of occupational burn-out, the WHO’s definition of burn-out, & I discuss why self-care alone is not enough.
In the healthcare industry, we’re set up quite nicely to experience occupational burn-out – the long hours, the back to back shifts, the high patient volumes, the high level of acuity, the lack of sufficient resources, the congestion in the waiting rooms, and the constant giving, giving, giving can only continue for so long before you hit a wall. Head first. It’s time to slow down and put on your own oxygen mask - FIRST. It’s time to take care of you - FIRST.
This episode is dedicated to all of my amazing colleagues within the University of Washington Health Care System, who’ve been working tirelessly since the start of the pandemic. We see you. We appreciate you. We love you. You matter.

In May 2018, I watched my mom succumb to cholangiocarcinoma – the life event that forced me to slow down. And broke me open. Returning to work in the ER was challenging, & over time, I started to recognize I had poor coping skills.
But after stumbling across life coaching, and reaping the benefits of the thought work, the mindset & the shifts in perspective, everything started to slowly shift. If you keep an open mind, you too can learn how to ride the waves of your life with less resistance, and more forward momentum.
Key Points in This Episode of A Dose of Perspective:
Why adversity is the perfect opportunity for growthWhy our threat focus, our stress response is permanently dialed up in today’s worldWhy we need to pay attention to what we pay attention to (i.e. mind chatter)Why I consider coaching to be an enema for your brainWhy a daily brain dump on paper (may repeat PRN) is recommended for your mental healthHow we get ourselves into trouble when we can’t tell the difference between a thought & a circumstance—
