Want free monthly resources for greater resilience and professional success?
The short version…
The slightly longer version…
Like you, I have a passion for helping others. That passion has, at times, seriously worn me down when I gave too much without taking care of myself.
When I was a psychologist in a juvenile detention centre I worked myself into a state of compassion fatigue and to escape it, took a promotion that derailed my career. Bad decision.
So I learned the value of self compassion the hard way. Now, 20 years on, I am bringing my motivation, my love of fellow professional caregivers, and my expertise to you.
You don’t have to make the same mistakes I did!
I now know the early warning signs, the corrective actions I need to take, and the work and living conditions that suit me best. I know when to speak out, and when to turn inward. Most of the time.
I now know and accept the inner parts of me that strive, love, hate, and fear. I am better understanding how my very human brain works, in all its wondrous complexity and everyday madness.
And I want this for you too. The work you do is sacred and valuable to our community. I want you to know yourself and embrace your strengths, move past your barriers, and continue to live a conscious, values-centred life.
This knowledge, acceptance and action create the conditions for offering true presence for your clients.
This is the beginning of truly exceptional work.
It’s vital that we support each other in this important work. We need to know that we are heard, understood and accepted in our struggles, because struggle is sometimes a part of our intensive caring work.
We need to give ourselves permission and opportunity to rest, play, and connect as a priority. Not merely when time permits, nor when all the work is done.
We need to forgive ourselves when we stuff up, or just don’t get the results we hoped for. We don’t have all the answers, and we certainly can’t control what others choose to do. We need to simply learn, and move on.
I am still developing all these learnings and more as I grow on my journey. My passion is to share what I have learned with you, so that you can share your healing presence with others.
I prioritise compassion, community, curiosity, courage and comedy in my life. What about you? What lights your fire?
