The last three years, mired in a pandemic, left the healthcare system in a chaotic state of being. I’ve seen it up close as I’m in the healthcare field. I’ve seen the mass exodus of staff, especially clinical staff. It’s been a brutal slog to address the workforce […]
There are times when you are faced with situations that are completely unbearable. And, no matter how many times you note that “this too shall pass,” you can’t self-soothe. We often, as a society, advise new moms to let a crying baby cry it out and “self-soothe.” That […]
