Ep 5. Self Care in Healthcare

Podcast Episode 5

Many healthcare workers are struggling with burnout right now, and I am one of them. After a year of stress, and continued challenges, I found myself feeling the symptoms of burn out again and wanted to share what I’ve been doing to manage those symptoms.

This is probably one of the most vulnerable posts I’ve made. I thought it was important to share my experiences and journey, so other PAs and healthcare workers know they are not alone. I share symptoms of burn out that I experience, and what I’ve been doing to change it, what’s been working and what hasn’t been working!

Enjoy!

Blogger and Owner of EmpoweredPAs.com
Began by writing a blog about the PA profession and quickly realized there was a great need for information and discussion on real world PA topics in leadership, work-life balance, evidence based practice, hospital politics and so many others. As a result, a website by a PA and for PAs was developed!
