A Life Doula
It strikes me that a mindful coach is like a life doula.
Someone who helps you live with intention, presence, and grace.
And pass through life’s challenging moments with more ease.
Painful Moments Are Often the Start of Something Amazing
Painful moments and painful seasons are inevitable in all our lives.
They are part of being human.
What is in our control is how we show up for the painful moments.
Burnout is an Opportunity
Burnout is epidemic. Within and outside of medicine.
The pandemic has added to it.
Our cultural thoughts on having and doing more and striving and serving contribute.
Our broken systems of healthcare, mental healthcare, education, and family support also contribute.
How Do You Want to Show Up for This Moment in Time?
Asking yourself how you want to show up can be a very helpful tool when you are struggling.
It is helpful whether the road is just a little bumpy or filled with potholes.
