Embrace Your Capacity, Not Your Limits

High-stress and high-performance professions like healthcare often push people beyond their limits. When this happens, stress and burnout are often the unfortunate consequences.

In this episode, Dr Sarah Coope joins us to discuss how to avoid burnout by embracing your capacity. She delves into finding your optimal stretching point for each of your limited resources. Sarah also examines the nature of our fear of saying no. And we explore the consequences and benefits of managing and maintaining your capacity.

If you find yourself stretched too thin, then this episode is for you.

Reasons to listen:

  • Understand your limits and capacity.
  • Discover how to shift your mindset and avoid burnout.
  • Learn how to embrace your guilt.
