Hey doc! In this episode, I'm getting real about a recent tough week and sharing my toolkit for managing overwhelm. I dive into:
- The perfect storm that led to my overwhelm
- How I used gratitude as a first line of defense
- When gratitude isn't enough and what to do next
- The power of reaching out for support
- Why it's okay (and necessary) to take mental health days
Key takeaways:
- Gratitude can help shift perspective, but it's not always enough
- Don't be afraid to reach out for support or reschedule commitments
- Self-care isn't selfish - it's necessary for showing up as your best self
- Mental health days are valid, even for Physicians
- Reflect on what changes you can make to prevent future overwhelm
You're human first, Physician second. It's okay to prioritize your well-being!
Join me for “Redefining Your Black Job: Physician Mom Edition” - an interactive workshop where we’ll examine which of these roles truly serve us and which ones we need to redefine - or release entirely.
