Memorable Moments:
“I needed to focus more on me.”
“People don’t take the time to have a professional life that supports their personal goals…Decide what you want your personal life to look like and ask, how can your professional life support that?”
“It’s important for us to be in charge…you need to be in charge of yourself, you need to be in charge of your emotions, you need to be in charge of how you react.”
“You need to prepare the mind by preparing the body. You need to take care of the body so that the mind can do the work and crawl out of burnout.”
“Taking a good walk with some good fresh air in your face – no headphones, no podcasts, no music, no nothing, just you and nature – just opens the pathways up and opens up the thinking.”
“The healing aspect of taking a walk and being out in nature cannot be understated.”
“A lot of burnout, whether it’s career burnout or caregiver burnout, comes back to time management.”
“The ADHD world has heard the sleep speech, but it is very important. If you’re running on fumes, then you’re going to be short-tempered.”
“Build a habit of walking away, hitting the pause button.”
