Ep. 17 - Practical Self Care Strategies Every Clinician Needs


Listen Later

We speak to Diana Page, nurse practitioner and founder of Self Care Catalyst, about moving beyond superficial notions of self-care to deeper and more effective strategies such as boundary-setting and understanding personal values.  

 

Diana is a burnout educator who helps nurses and nurse practitioners transform their lives from burned out to thriving through education, empowerment, connection and community.

 

Diana shares her journey through burnout and recovery, emphasising the importance of having an identity outside of one's job. 

 

This conversation addresses the challenges healthcare workers face in toxic work environments and offers practical tools and reflections to navigate work-life balance effectively. These suggestions cover both systemic change and individual actions and how we can collectively improve the well-being of practitioners in medicine.
