#29: Supporting Elderly Clients With Multiple Losses

Dr Julie Bajic Smith (PhD) is a psychologist, transition strategist and organisational wellbeing advisor. Her doctoral research explored the emotional demands placed on frontline workers, and she continues to publish, teach and support teams across care, community and corporate sectors through evidence‑informed programs and senior advisory work.

Across the care and wellbeing sectors, frontline and leadership roles are undergoing significant change. Customer expectations are shifting, complexity is increasing, and staff are carrying a growing emotional load as they support diverse communities through periods of transition. These pressures are reshaping how people work, lead and care — and they cannot be normalised.

Julie has seen firsthand how vital it is to support workers and leaders with the psychological tools, clarity and emotional safety they need to thrive. Her philosophy is simple: support your people, and you strengthen your culture, your outcomes and your impact.

From Aged Care to Everywhere is a podcast exploring the emotional side of work — burnout, leadership load, identity shifts, boundaries, reinvention and the quiet transitions that reshape us. Each episode offers grounded insight, real experiences and practical tools delivered in clear, accessible language without overwhelm.

You’ll find conversations on emerging trends, emotional load, workplace wellbeing, and the human experience behind meaningful work — alongside resources designed to support you in your role.
