You Can’t Self-Care Your Way Out Of An Unhealthy Workplace – Ep 83

from The Inspired Healthcare Leader | Healthcare Leadership, Work-Life Balance, Managing Change · host Mara Ergas-Zabari RN, PhD - Healthcare Leader, Consultant, & Researcher

Meditate. Exercise. Set boundaries. Get enough sleep. All good advice—but what happens when the real problem isn’t your ability to handle the stress, but the conditions creating it? In this episode, I challenge one of healthcare leadership’s most persistent assumptions: that when work becomes unsustainable, leaders simply need to become more resilient. You’ll discover how capable leaders can actually hide organizational problems by continually finding a way to make things work, how to tell when you need to do something differently versus when the work needs to change, and three practical ways to create healthier working conditions—even when you don’t control the staffing, budget, or larger organization. Because self-care matters. But you can’t self-care your way out of an unhealthy workplace.
