Show Notes
I have known Shannon Brink for years, but always as an acquaintance who was a friend to other friends. It wasn’t until our interview today that I was left with the question – how were we not BEST friends?? Because, Lord help me, we had the BEST conversation and I am so grateful for it. I hope you enjoy it too.
Shannon began her nursing career here in British Columbia, Canada. She is a mom of 4 kids ages 6-12, and moved with her family to Malawi a few years ago (pre-COVID). We talk about the balance of parenting and career, the many iterations of adaptation required in this crazy thing called life, what coping has looked like and our shared thoughts on being intentional, and a ton of real talk on how freaking hard life can be. I SO appreciated how real Shannon is and that she brings a refreshing truth, honesty and vulnerability to how she engages in the topics we touched on today. You guys are going to LOVE her.
Learn more about Shannon’s blog, https://www.shannonbrink.org/.
Check out her children's book about anxiety, "There's a Dragon in my Pocket: A Story About a Boy and His Fear", here.
You can also follow her on Instagram, here.
During this episode I mentioned the CBT for the Family: Tools for Life online course by my good friend and phenomenal colleague, Child and Family Therapist, Karen Peters. To learn more about the program and her other awesome parenting resources (including her podcast, Parenting in the Trenches), click here.
Episode Challenge:
What are some ways you have had to adapt? What are some areas where you may need to do some adapting now – and what would that look like? How can you build in space/time to semi-regularly inventory and re-inventory areas that need some tweaking so you don’t get lost in the shuffle and monotony?? – we would love to hear your thoughts and you can share on my social media.
Reflect on where you’re at and what you might need by using our free Beating the Breaking Point Indicators Checklist & Triage Guide. Signing up for this resource is also how you can jump on our email list where we’ll send you reminders up new podcast episodes and bonus resources.
Additional Resources:
Learn more about the Beating the Breaking Point Resilience Series & Survival Guide – a complete program that offers a step by step road map to build a plan for sustainability and wellness, designed just for First Responders & Front Line Workers and the challenges you face.
