The holidays can be a challenging time for everyone, but there are some special difficulties that healthcare professionals face.

Hospitals don’t close and people don’t stop getting sick just because it’s a holiday.

When you already feel overworked and underappreciated in your job, working over the holidays can lead to so much bitterness and resentment.

Even if you aren’t working, the holidays can be a triggering time that brings up a whole host of emotions.

In this solo episode I talk about...

• The problem with continually sacrificing your own needs and desires for your career
• How to use your feelings to understand what you truly need and want
• Letting go of what you think the holidays are supposed to look like
• Taking care of yourself this holiday season

If the holidays are stressing you out for one reason or another, I hope this episode can help bring you back to a place of calm.

Sending you so much love and blessings this holiday season and always.
