Self-Sacrifice Is Not The Future of Business or Medicine with Shavawn Boyer, RN

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟

So, you have a vision for what you want your life to look like – but you keep being pulled in different directions. You feel responsible for doing all the things – and society tells you that your role is to lose yourself in service to others. 

How are you supposed to take care of others when you are so depleted? And what if you don't have the time or means to take a spa weekend or travel the globe (none of us have that right now anyway)?

In this episode, Karlee chats with Shavawn Boyer, a nurse currently helping in the fight against COVID-19. She’s dedicated her life to helping heal others – but a few years ago she decided she would no longer do that at the expense of her own mental and physical health. And now she's more clear than ever about what she is going to do in order to stay on the front-lines to help others for the long-haul - spoiler: it's not about sacrifice..

It’s time to break free from the "I'll get to myself later" mindset. Permission granted to put your mask on first, and here is exactly how one woman did just that when simple things like just drinking a cup of water or going to the bathroom felt like too much of a burden when she worked - like it might distract from the mission at hand: being of service to others.
