The Burnout Recovery Podcast

This week's episode explores the powerful connection between vulnerability and professionalism in healthcare, inspired by a transformative wellbeing session at Bathurst Health Service.

The episode concludes with three powerful reflection questions to help you examine your own relationship with vulnerability and its impact on your professional growth.Resources:https://drjobraid.comwww.instagram.com/burnoutrecoverydrwww.linkedin.com/in/drjobraidhttps://tidycal.com/drjobraid/power-hour I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations.

In this episode, we explore the transformative concept of "imperfect consistency" - prioritising the act of doing rather than the pursuit of perfection. We contrast perfect inconsistency (waiting for ideal conditions) with imperfect consistency (showing up regularly regardless of conditions) and examine how this approach can decrease your inner critic while building confidence. The episode unpacks the neuroscience behind consistent action, revealing how regular practice rewires your brain more effectively than occasional perfect performance. We provide science-backed applications for both personal and professional contexts, from exercise and learning to project management and leadership communication. Finally, we offer five practical, research-supported strategies to help you implement imperfect consistency in your own life, empowering you to feel successful before you begin rather than waiting until after you've achieved perfection.Resources:https://drjobraid.comwww.instagram.com/burnoutrecoverydrwww.linkedin.com/in/drjobraid I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations.

Dr. Braid offers five practical strategies to identify and address these small irritations before they accumulate, including validating your experience, assessing impact, identifying what's within your control, taking specific actions, and creating helpful boundaries. Listeners are invited to become curious about their own daily irritations and recognize that addressing these small issues isn't petty—it's an essential part of self-care and burnout prevention.

In this episode, Dr. Jo Braid interviews Dr. Ettie Ben-Shabat, a physiotherapist specializing in neurological rehabilitation with expertise in neuro-imaging. Dr. Ben-Shabat emphasizes that when rehabilitation clinicians have a deep understanding of neurological imaging, it significantly enhances their ability to tailor treatments effectively and efficiently. This knowledge allows clinicians to pinpoint the exact brain areas affected, leading to more precise and targeted therapies, ultimately reducing uncertainty and stress in their practice. Furthermore, it boosts clinicians' confidence and job satisfaction by enabling them to make informed decisions and provide clearer guidance to patients and their families, thereby mitigating burnout and improving patient care outcomes.Resources:https://drjobraid.comhttps://brainrehabilitation.org/https://brainrehabilitation.org/about-ettie-ben-shabat/ Community Recognition Award by local member Phil Donato MP: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/permalink?id=HANSARD-1323879322-143033 I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations.
