Guardians of Health: Protecting Our Healthcare Workers
Prioritizing the things that are truly important to us, like recording an episode with Maya Salovitz, for example, come hell or high water, that is a form of setting boundaries too, because it's saying: this is what I hold important to myself.
Ever wondered how we can better support the heroes in our hospitals? In this episode of the Recovery Machine Podcast, hosts Nathan McLean and Corey Williams dive into the often-overlooked struggles of healthcare workers. They continue their conversation on the critical topic of protecting those who protect us. Stress is a huge part of the job, but what happens when it becomes too much?
Nathan and Corey explore the mismatch between the high levels of stress and the often unsupportive work environments these professionals face. They also bring in guest Maya Salovitz, who sheds light on the importance of giving healthcare workers the time and space to process their experiences. She emphasizes how setting boundaries and prioritizing what's truly important can make a world of difference.
The trio discusses how acknowledging and respecting these boundaries isn't just about self-care—it's essential for survival in such high-pressure roles. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the mental health and well-being of those on the frontlines of healthcare.
