134: Nursing Burnout
In this weeks episode I discuss the concept of high-performance nursing and the susceptibility to burnout that comes with it.
I share my personal experiences and reflections on how being a high performer can lead to overdelivering and overperforming, ultimately resulting in burnout.
I emphasize the importance of acknowledging and gifting ourselves the space to prevent and manage burnout.
I also highlight the need to honor our energy, allow ourselves to experience the full spectrum of human emotions, and create space for self-care.
Instead of trying to burnout-proof our careers, what if we learned the valuable life skill of learning to manage our mind, feel our feelings, and identify burnout early to optimise our self-care.
