Are you constantly under pressure at work and find that it affects your mindset and your life at home?
As a professional, you deal with a certain work ethic culture that makes you feel like you must do certain things to succeed. And that can lead to mental health issues that have you just trying to make it through the day, every day.
So, how do you allow yourself to stop, take a breath, and turn this stressful ship around? My guest, Dr. Nicole Washington, is an author, speaker, consultant, and certified psychiatrist who talks about various mental health topics in hopes of decreasing the stigma around the topic. As the chief medical officer of Elocin Psychiatric Services, she focuses on physicians and other high performers with mental health disorders.
In this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll learn how to address your mental health to move from just surviving to thriving. You’ll hear about the benefits of self-care, being present, finding your identity, and how that impacts the people you care most about.
