Are you being a MESSENGER OF HOPE?
Your patients may be feeling overwhelmed, confused, distressed, or AFRAID… 
Working in healthcare can be extremely challenging, yet, some days can feel and be so impactful and so meaningful! Today was one of those days!
Your SELF-CARE Matters. Take a moment to reflect on what CARING looks like, sounds like, and feels like from your patient’s perspective. 
If you are a healthcare professional feeling tired, burnt out, or detached, then how do you effectively care for your patients? Remember, you are just as human as your patients and over time, the weight of responsibility adds up and starts to take a toll. I’ve been there!

As a Healthcare Professional - Doctor, Nurse, Therapist, …
How would you feel and what would you say if your patient said:
“Mental Health is REAL, but people don’t believe what I say”
Brene Brown says it beautifully!
“In order to empathize with someone’s experience, you must be willing to believe them as they see it, and not how you imagine their experience to be.
Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone.’” 
 SO...
1. How do you EFFECTIVELY care when you feel like you don’t have ENOUGH time to care?
2. How do you help your patients in the moment to access and be in their heart, to feel SAFE? 
3. How do you support your patients in working through inner conflict that affects their confidence & perception of reality.
If you are a healthcare professional, know you have my support! I am a HeartMath® Coach and mentor, and medical life & health coach who can work with you on your “HEARTSET,” in building personal resilience and emotional capacity for sustainable and heart-centered clinical practice!

Your Authentic Presence Can Help Patients Feel Empowered!
An honest and personal conversation with my guest Barbara Karnes, RN.
As a healthcare professional, do you recognize what you may be taking on, taking in, and taking home? Barbara and I discuss what it means to be vulnerable and to be human as healthcare professionals. It's a real conversation on the importance of finding balance and having self-care rituals to support your professional care-giving efforts.
