If you let other people's problems and emotions derail you or distract you, this episode is for you. As healthcare givers, we often give too much and too often. This can leave us depleted, bitter, and resentful--AND it's unfair of us to off-load other people of their problems because it robs them of the ability to deal with it on their own.

This podcast idea came to me when I was listening to an interview with Terri Cole, author of Too Much. She described high-functioning co-dependents, and it hit me that SO many of us in healthcare operate this way! Learn how to recognize it and what to do about it. (and of course, read her book!)

Speaking of book, my book on healing burnout will be out in 2025 (editing now!!); if you're interested in being on my advanced reader team, or would like a few sneak peeks beforehand, shoot me an email, at hope.cook@gmail.com or sign up for any of my free resources (including my mini-book) on my ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

If you'd like to talk about me being a speaker or podcast guest, or if you're interested in collaborating, use the email above to connect!

My next PA Masterclass Series will start in January; let me know if you'd like to be a part of it! Here's a ⁠⁠link⁠⁠ to learn more.
