In this podcast, we dive into the emotional and psychological challenges healthcare workers face every day. Whether it be from the intense pressure of caring for people to the constant exposure to pain, suffering and loss.   Arleen reminds healthcare workers you must prioritize your own mental health. Guarding your heart allows you to provide a loving response regardless of the situation. Arleen shares how important it is to be present for the people you serve. You must practice searching for the goodness in one another and to act as role models showing people just how easy it is to care for one another. Arleen reminds healthcare workers you are armed with a super power, which is your ability to heal people who are sick. Sometimes you are left wondering where the people who show love and compassion towards one another are.   As healthcare workers, you are perfect in your design to flood people with love, compassion and empathy. But you must also protect your heart, prevent those negative feelings and interactions from adhering to your spirit. Those feelings can easily overpower your mind, when they take root in your heart. You were designed to embrace all the beautiful moments that come from healing others. When you learn simple ways and work differently, you will position yourself for success.
