BONUS [BTS] My Very Public Mistake & How it Humbled Me Jan 28, 2023

Show notes

My VA slack messaged me “I don’t want to freak you out…but….Is it just me or is there no sound on today’s podcast episode? I tried listening on Apple Podcasts & also on YouTube but I don’t hear anything.”

I published a SILENT Podcast episode last week & the experience was all together incredibly humbling.

Do you know what making a mistake in publishing my own podcast makes me?

It’s not stupid, careless or inept.

It makes me a human.

Humans make mistakes and that is what this was.

Even with all the systems, checking and double checking… at the end of the day we are human beings who are innately imperfect.

If you’ve made a mistake lately it doesn’t make you stupid, inept or incompetent. It doesn’t make you unqualified or careless. It makes you a human.

169: [PA] U.S. News & World Report Ranks PA the #2 Healthcare Profession... Now What? Jan 28, 2023

Show notes

Well the PA Profession has done it again. PA is named as the #2 profession in the healthcare sector and #4 overall for all professions in the 2023 U.S. News & World Report. Dive into how these rankings are generated, what they are based upon, and the predictions that exist for the growth of the PA profession in the coming ten years. The reality is that these rankings, although they provide incredible visibility and awareness for the general public about the PA profession in general… they don’t change your specific role or job situation at all. Your frustrations are still the same. Your burnout still exists. Let’s take an eyes wide open look at what you can do about your specific situation so that you feel better about your job as a PA and start feeling like the best you can feel.

168: [MONEY] Stop Making These Mistakes When It Comes to Investing with Kristin Burton, PA-C Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

For me, whenever I learn the numbers, the logic or the formulas behind something, I immediately believe it and buy into it on a deeper level. It feels so much more concrete to me and not so arbitrary. One thing that I’ve been super interested in and invested in over the year is learning how to better manage my money and invest it wisely. There is a LOT of advice on the internet (looking at you Instagram) for investing and wealthy building, but I’m one of those people who needs to hear the facts behind the situation before I’m going to start following that advice.

Thankfully, my friend Kristin Burton shares those facts on this episode (and I could not agree more with her advice when it comes to financial independence!) I love chatting about finances and learning how to take the vital signs on your current financial situation. There is always something to be learned in discovering how to grow your wealth and improve your freedom when it comes to money.

167: [PA] But New Grads Are Willing To Work For Less... Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

I heard this from the mouth of a PA with 20-years of experience last week "but there are new grads out there who are willing to work for so much less than I am". & I couldn't help but share my thoughts about how we can encourage new graduates to advocate for themselves and how to dismantle this limiting belief that you shouldn't ask for a raise because someone else will do it for less.

Show notes

For years, I’ve thought that working for the VA could be really limiting for PAs, not because I actually knew that for a fact, but because to me, Veterans Affairs was synonymous with bureaucracy and red tape and I *incorrectly* assumed that would be limiting for PAs. Erin Willard is here to set me straight and share with you all about her Unicorn PA Position in surgery at the VA.

When COVID coincided with the birth of Erin’s first baby she was looking for a PA position in a season where the healthcare system was in turmoil and Erin was directly hired into a position she loves. There are many benefits of working for the VA and if you’ve been curious what it might be like to serve veterans as a PA, press play on this episode!
