191: [LIFE] Curious How to Complete the Stress Cycle? 7 Things to Try Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

Stressors exist. Burnout results from consistent stress that overwhelms your body’s ability to cope. Stress like a full inbox, an inbasket of test results, a heavy diagnosis or a sick patient is part of what it means to work in medicine. Are you effectively completing the stress cycle in your life?

Most PAs aren’t. Most healthcare “heroes” are fighting a villain that no one can see: stressors. Addressing the stressors: cleaning out your inbox, having that difficult conversation with a patient doesn’t help if you don’t work to deal with the stress in your body and in your mind.

In this episode, I’ll share 7 techniques to complete the stress cycle, how to use them, and when you need them. We will unpack the stressors, what the stress cycle is and how to stop getting stuck in the middle of your stress cycle. Being stuck in the tunnel of stress leads to burnout.

Learn how to speak the language of your body. Your body doesn’t speak English – it speaks body language. Understanding how to tune in to the signals your body is sending you and working your way through that stress cycle is key to avoiding burnout or recovering from burnout.

190: [UNICORN] How to Thrive as a Surgery PA Without Sacrificing Yourself Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

During her 17-year career as a PA, Ilaina Moyer has made many shifts, realizations and changes in her path. From emergency medicine to plastic surgery and shifting between inpatient, to academia, to outpatient and back into the hospital, these pivots were all to get to a schedule that worked for Ilaina and her family.

In this conversation, Ilaina shares what happens when you start to take these chances, starting before you are ready, and leaning into the unknown as you practice medicine. Mentorship and leadership are huge parts of what her career has grown into and being diligent about being the mentor she wished she had earlier in her career is a key piece of Iliana’s core values and career. You are not going to want to miss this conversation, it’s like sitting down over coffee with a mentor you might not have in real life.

Tearing down gatekeeping, labeling and segmenting each other in medicine will improve the healthcare system and culture across your organization and healthcare in general.

188: [LIFE] How to Heal from Burnout & Find Balance Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

You know by now that I walked through burnout and lived to tell the tale. I want my career as a PA, my teachings as a podcaster, and my life as Tracy, the human being to share that journey through burnout. I want to shed light on how hard it is physically, mentally, emotionally and in a relationship to be burned out.

Healthcare burnout affects more than 60% of current healthcare workers. Physician associates are no exception to that statistic. Today on The PA Is In I’m sharing my specific physical symptoms, the turning point that led me to quit my job as a PA, and my experience with wholeness and healing as a PA and as a person.
