In this podcast, I discuss the concept of reclaiming your power as a nurse and living on your own terms. I highlight how our inner critic can sabotage us and how traditional nursing practices may no longer be relevant in today's changing world. I emphasize the importance of seeking clarity from within ourselves rather than relying on external sources. Throughout the podcast, I introduce a tool called the CTFAR coaching framework, which helps us understand the connection between our thoughts, feelings, actions, and results. By applying this tool, we can take control of our thinking and create positive change in our lives.

In this weeks episode I discuss the concept of high-performance nursing and the susceptibility to burnout that comes with it.

I share my personal experiences and reflections on how being a high performer can lead to overdelivering and overperforming, ultimately resulting in burnout.

I emphasize the importance of acknowledging and gifting ourselves the space to prevent and manage burnout.

I also highlight the need to honor our energy, allow ourselves to experience the full spectrum of human emotions, and create space for self-care.

Instead of trying to burnout-proof our careers, what if we learned the valuable life skill of learning to manage our mind, feel our feelings, and identifying burnout early to optimise our self-care.
