107 | How To Not Be Always Working: Tips for Clinicians

Are you still working at 9 pm when you meant to stop at 3? If you're a solo herbalist or nutritionist, the line between working and not working can get quite blurry, because this work is part of who you are. Your clinical brain doesn't clock out just because you're supposed to be doing something else. In this episode, Camille shares how she's managing this challenge right now - 20+ years into practice - and why systems that used to work may need to be revised periodically.  What's covered: Why solo practitioners are especially vulnerable to chronic overwork The cost of "half-working" all the time - sleep, movement, and mental load How Camille is currently using Caveday, a co-working membership, to create defined work blocks and a clear stopping point The concept of monotasking Other boundary strategies worth trying: timers, app blockers, accountability partners, and co-working sessions Key point: If your current plan for turning off isn't working, it's time to change things up. The fastest road to burnout is always being on, or never being fully off. Resources mentioned: Caveday - co-working membership with sessions available almost around the clock ($35/month; the link here is Camille's referral link, which will get you a month for $1, 3 months for $40 or 1 year for $300) Bloom & Grow co-working sessions (offered through Camille's own programs, once or twice a week) Submit a Question Have a clinical or business question you'd like me to answer on a future episode?
