Burnout with Dr Danelle Ward and Dr Penny Alexander
In this episode Bek Ledingham introduces a series of chats about a topic that she is more acquainted with than she would like to be, and thinks we should talk about more, particularly after the 18 months we have just endured in health. You see- Bek has realised she is burnt out. It's been a long road to get here, but it's time to make some changes. So she set on a journey to meet other people who've experienced burn out to find out what it looks like, what helps people recover, what life after burnout is like and get some tips for anyone else who may be going through it. Thanks so much to Penny and Danelle for sharing their stories in this first episode. Dr Penny Alexander is a Dermatologist who reflects on a time she suffered burnout and how she made it through. Dr Danelle Ward, a specialist Obstetrician/Gynaecologist is still working her way through burnout and was very generous with her time and raw emotion to share the important lessons she is learning along the way. In the other episodes we will chat to other medical mums who've experienced burnout, some of whom who have changed direction in their work to help others going through it. We also meet Prof Gordon Parker, a psychiatrist from UNSW who co-authored book on Burnout (Burnout: A Guide to Identifying Burnout and Patterns to Recovery) was published in July 2021. Finally we will meet Kim Kilov who after completing her paediatric fellowship exams recognising her burnout made the decision to leave medicine. She talks to us about making that decision and the exciting path she finds herself on now.
We encourage anyone who recognises their own burnout while listening to seek some support and here is a list of places you might start. http://www.dhaswa.com.au/
