Spent a valuable afternoon with my team at Novel Health, engaging in a powerful workshop led by Faron Smith from the Canadian Mental Health Association, Ottawa Branch. We dove into empathic strain and explored actionable strategies for thriving in the workplace. Key takeaways:

✅ We often place unrealistic expectations on ourselves in healthcare, constantly saying "we should."

✅ We tend to overlook self-care until our to-do lists are cleared.

✅ True self-care sometimes means making tough decisions, like setting clear boundaries.

✅ The PERMA model is an excellent framework for fostering well-being and ensuring we’re not only effective professionals but also positive contributors to our teams and communities.

This session reinforced the importance of leading with emotional intelligence and prioritizing personal well-being for sustainable success. Let’s continue the conversation—how are you prioritizing mental well-being in your workplace? Share your insights!

(and the team needs to be fed! It's our love language)

Happy Canadian Women Physicians’ Day
