13. Self-sufficiency will crush you; here’s why

Welcome to TheCompassionRX a podcast inspired by my personal experience with burnout and witness to the desperate need for more compassion and humanity in the healthcare system.  

 

Are you a PA who:  Prides yourself on being self-sufficient?  Do you find accepting help from others is hard for you?  Have you noticed your self-sufficiency is isolating you from others? 

 

My name is Kristen Jardine. A Lifestyle Medicine PA-C for many years, I learned the hard way how sneaky and unexpected burnout can be, along with the devastating impacts it can have on your life. In this episode, I share: 

 

  • The importance of recognizing a self-sufficient mindset
  • 3 negative consequences of self-sufficiency 
  • Why compassion is a game changer 
  • A hope that will change your perspective
