105: You're Not Turning Them In, You're Helping Them: Kristin Waite-Labott

Find the full transcript at InspiredMomMDs.com/105.People trained to save lives are often the last ones to ask for help saving their own. When one of us is struggling with addiction or mental health, it touches our patients, our teams, and our organizations too. Today I'm joined by Kristin Waite-Labott, a registered nurse, recovery coach, and founder of the Wisconsin Peer Alliance for Nurses. Kristin has lived through addiction and recovery herself, and built her career around helping healthcare workers find their way back. In this conversation, she offers real, practical solutions at every level: how to recognize the warning signs of addiction in a coworker, what to actually say to them, and how organizations can build a culture where asking for help is a strength instead of a career risk. What she shares next may be hard to hear, and hard to forget. Links for Kristin:Email: [email protected]: wipeeralliance.org (contact form goes directly to Kristin)Text me your thoughts on the episode!Loved this one?
