The Other Human in the Room – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, I discuss the detrimental effects of the culture of overworking in healthcare and present alternatives to the notion of 'pushing through.' I share practice strategies, personal experiences and insights on how these alternatives can lead to better recovery and sustainability in the healthcare profession. There's a reason I can't stop talking about the importance of recognizing your limits - it's a deeply humanizing practice for everyone in healthcare!

In this episode, I dive into the common fear of being judged by others while on my commute to work. I share some personal stories and tips on how to face and understand these fears. I talk about why it's so important to accept yourself and how being a bit disruptive can actually be a good thing. Through my reflections, I encourage everyone to embrace their flaws and remember that judgment is something we all deal with.

What scares you more - experiencing your own disappointment or someone else's? I have noticed this is a common area of struggle for folks in healthcare, especially if you have tendencies towards people pleasing or perfectionism. Join me, the Only Human in the Van, as I reflect on the inhuman stories we have learned about disappointment and offer my favourite ways of reframing disappointment in a generative way.

Have you noticed how often you feel performance anxiety in your work in healthcare?

Maybe you don't identify it as performance anxiety, but I promise you...it's there.

And it's a major factor robbing you of your ability to enjoy your work in healthcare.

In this episode we explore all the places performance anxiety shows up in our work - and how we can address and heal the inhuman stories that lie underneath it.
