Originally aired Feb 1 2022; In this week's episode, I am joined by Marcie Resendes, Registered Nurse and Author of, ‘If The Brain Could Stop What The Eyes have Seen.' Marcie shares her story of overcoming being diagnosed with PTSD, how she lives with it and manages it day to day. We also discuss methods of how we can protect ourselves against burnout, leading to mental illness, and overwhelm in the workforce. About Marcie: “I am a 42-year-old wife, mother to three beautiful children ages 17, 15 and 6. I am a Registered Nurse and proud to say I have been for 21 1⁄2 years. The nursing school Diploma Program at St. Clair College was a struggle, but I had a strong heart and passion to be a nurse; a good kick in the butt from my dad when I was 19 pushed me through. During the summer of 1998, I volunteered at the Pelee Island Medical Clinic.I worked beside two wonderful nurses who allowed me to observe clinics, minor traumas, and what nursing in an isolated area is. I witnessed head injuries after drunken falls, fractures of bones, sprains and strains, as well as general labs and medical check ups. I loved the opportunity to gain this experience in nursing. It was totally different than at the hospital. I was able to observe how a team (EMS, Police,and Nursing) work together to get the job done. June 18, 1999 was the day my dreams came true: I graduated on the Principal's Honour Roll. Finally I could do what I had strived to do: take care of the sick and make them well. Growing up I had been raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO of the company. I was told that each team member in a company has a vital job to do each and every day to keep the company running. Little did I know that after 19 1⁄2 years of caring for the sick, wounded, critically injured, dying and mentally unstable would leave me with wounds unrecognizable to the human eye. I attended an appointment with my Nurse Practitioner on January 10, 2019, that's when my life changed. I thought I was having a simple return to work appointment after a bout of influenza the week before, but it turned out to be so much more.When Bonnie the Nurse Practitioner walked in and observed me, her first statement changed my whole life: “You Have PTSD”.

In the final episode of this season, podcast host, Jennifer, speaks with ER nurse and celebrated author Jennifer Johnson, who shares her 16-year journey through the high-stakes world of emergency nursing and discuss her soon-to-be-released book, "Nursing Intuition." Jennifer's unique blend of emotional intelligence and gut instincts offers a fresh perspective on patient care, bringing to life the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of ER settings. Her captivating stories from rural hospitals to bustling trauma centers reveal the humor, quick thinking, and adaptability required to thrive under pressure—an insightful reflection on the skills that every nurse can cultivate to enhance their practice. Throughout our conversation, Jennifer emphasizes the profound role intuition plays in nursing. We explore how this often-overlooked skill can guide healthcare professionals in making critical decisions, particularly when clinical signs are ambiguous. As she walks us through her career evolution—from an eager new nurse to a seasoned professional adept at balancing clinical objectivity with compassion—Jennifer stresses the importance of advocating for patients, especially in end-of-life care. The episode offers valuable insights into how nurses can harness their intuition to improve patient outcomes and find greater fulfillment in their work. In the final segment, we navigate the complexities of nursing culture, discussing the impact of both toxic and supportive environments on career satisfaction. Jennifer shares her experiences with bullying and the pivotal moments that taught her the value of setting personal boundaries. By encouraging a culture of collaboration and learning, she argues, nurses can protect their well-being and avoid burnout.

In this week's episode, Rob Natale, founder of North Square Capital, joins me for a fascinating discussion on the Healthcare Provider Happy Hour to explore the world of passive real estate investing tailored for healthcare professionals. Rob shares his journey from the bustling world of Wall Street to setting up a financial strategy that aligns with the unique needs of those in medicine. His family's medical background and his own disillusionment with conventional financial advising led him to create a system that alleviates professional burnout and guides individuals toward financial independence through real estate syndication. Our conversation delves into the intricacies of real estate investments, highlighting their potential to transform financial stability for medical professionals. We discuss the tax benefits, income predictability, and a specially crafted "freedom calculator" to determine the passive income needed to make work optional. Rob contrasts real estate's wealth creation potential with the stock market, offering insights into the roles of limited and general partners in these investments. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting, this episode provides a framework to navigate the complexities of real estate as a lucrative pathway to financial autonomy. We also touch on the often-overlooked investment opportunities in private placements and how they can offer significant returns. Rob advocates for a diversified portfolio, suggesting a 40-30-30 model with a mix of stocks, bonds, and alternatives like real estate. Financial education and a solid investment strategy can mitigate burnout and provide a sense of balance, particularly for high-income earners like healthcare professionals.

Struggling with the relentless pace of healthcare? In this week's episode of the Healthcare Provider Happy Hour, I found solace in Ann Swanson's insights on meditation, a practice that transcended her own battles with chronic pain and anxiety. As the author of "Meditation for the Real World: Finding Peace in Everyday Life," Ann joined me to debunk the myths surrounding meditation, showing us that it's an observation of thoughts, rather than their complete cessation. Our conversation wove through her journey, revealing the transformative potential meditation holds, even for those of us who feel perpetually strapped for time. We navigated the neurological underpinnings of meditation, touching on its ability to reshape our brains. Ann and I unpacked how the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus blossom with regular practice, equipping listeners with the knowledge to harness these benefits in their own lives. We also tackled the challenge of mind wandering—a natural phenomenon—and shared strategies to refocus attention and cultivate a deeper sense of presence, an invaluable tool for anyone, especially those in high-stress medical environments. Ann and I didn't just stop at the theory; we ventured into the practical, guiding listeners through a one-minute meditation aimed to smooth the transition from work to home.

REPLAY - Originally released on Feb 8, 2022; I am joined by Dr. Joe Sherman, a practicing physician for over 35 years, a certified physician coach, an educator, and a former administrator. Joe guides organizations to shift outdated workplace culture into a collective leadership model and assists physicians in one-on-one coaching and group retreats to deliver quality care, succeed in leadership roles, and rediscover fulfillment in their careers. We discuss Joe's journey in healthcare including what has kept him in the profession for over 35 years, what led to his burnout, his anxiety and depression, and what he is doing to change the culture in the field so that others have a positive experience as physicians. About Joe: “In 2009, after spending 4 years living and working with a mission organization in Bolivia, I returned to the U.S. and my career as a pediatrician at an academic health center. I soon found the institutional, educational, and patient care demands placed upon me to be overwhelming. This eventually led to burnout and a temporary departure from clinical medicine. After a year of reflection, discernment, and support from family and friends, I was able to identify my core values and integrate them into my future career decision-making. I returned to part-time pediatric practice while developing the skills to accompany other physicians, individually and in groups, to re-discover their passion for medicine.
