Turning the page into a new year, and taking a moment to acknowledge this chapter. 📖 🤍

From book signings at Indigo, launch events and presentations, to seeing Reality Check on the shelves at the University of Calgary bookstore (my alma mater), this year has been one I’m very grateful for.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared the book, or supported this journey in ways both seen and unseen. Watching Reality Check reach readers across disciplines and become a bestseller has been deeply meaningful. This book was written to help healthcare professionals recognize burnout early, understand it as a complex syndrome in response to systemic pressure and misalignment, and to offer practical ways to prevent burnout before it takes a deeper toll. Seeing it spark conversation, reflection, and momentum toward meaningful change is exactly why I wrote it.

Reality Check is available on Amazon and at bookstores everywhere. You can also find it directly via the link in my bio. ✨📖

🔥 “What others think of you is none of your business.”

Did you know that the perception of conflict—even if no direct conflict occurred—can increase the risk of burnout. By creating narratives based on unknowns, we amplify stress and emotional exhaustion.

📕 In Reality Check: Recognize Burnout, Prevent It, and Discover How to Live Well, I reveal how these patterns contribute to burnout and offer actionable strategies to overcome them. Shifting your mindset can transform how you navigate stress and foster well-being.

💡 Ready to challenge these unhelpful narratives and build a healthier mindset?

👀 Stay tuned for the cover reveal (follow me)—you won’t want to miss it!

📅 Mark your calendars for December 31, 2024. 📕
