151: [PA] The Gender Wage Gap in the PA Profession Nov 17, 2022

Show notes

Are you looking left and right while charting and wondering if your colleagues are earning more money than you? If you’re in the know about the AAPA Salary Survey or you don’t understand the world of salary and effective negotiation, you’re not alone, we didn’t really know either.

There is so much goodness in that AAPA Salary Survey report (and in 2022 it’s interactive!) So while the healthcare industry has lost it’s mind with compensation and brand new baby nurses are being paid $30,000 sign on bonuses, learning about the physician associate gender wage gap is something you are going to want to do.

The PA Gender Wage Gap. What’s the first thing you think of when you hear that? Maybe you’re thinking - well, I work part time or I have better boundaries than my male PA colleagues - but here’s the thing - you are doing the same job! Maybe you are skeptical about the data but have a healthy curiosity to learn more.

The AAPA Salary Survey revealed in 2018 that female PAs are making, on average are earning $11,500 less per year than their male-identifying colleagues. This means that for every $1.00 that male colleagues are making, female-identifying PAs are earning only $0.90. The mean male PA salary is nearly $12,000 per year more than the mean female PA salary!

$11,500 invested in a solid index fund over the course of a 30 year career compounds to be 4.5Million dollars at the age of retirement. Holy moly!

Get ready to get fired up about how much you are earning and feel inspired to create a plan for negotiation!

The show is having a glow-up and changing it’s name, too. We are now the PA Is In. And this is the first episode of The PA Is In.

I'm sharing my story of healthcare burnout, how I reached my breaking point and what I did when I was beyond burned out.

One day my daughter, RaeAnne, called me STUPID and it was like a bucket of cold water to my face. She was right. I WAS being stupid. Press play to learn how the story ended.

149: [SHORT] Life Moves at the Speed of the Feed! Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Unpacking the phrase "life moves at the speed of the feed" and how social media has infiltrated our lives. Social media is a never-ending diet of other people's lives, vacations, pregnancy announcements, targeted ads. Social media is an all you can eat buffet that can lead to comparison and dissent in your life.

Myth: Life moves at the speed of the feed.

Truth: You get to choose the speed at which you live your life.

Be empowered to screen who you follow, control your diet of social media comparisons and control your appetite for other people's lives.

Let's unfollow people who are no longer serving us, diversify our feed, and decrease our appetite for and consumption of social media.

144: [LIFE] The Step-by-Step Guide to Discovering Your Core Values Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

In life when we feel out of alignment or resentful or dissatisfied with our life when we have those moments when we're looking around and what we see around us is not reflective of what we truly want our life to be like what that often comes down to.

We either don't know what we value or we know what we value but we're not living in alignment with those values and this is something that can seem very obscure or intangible.

Here I am talking about identifying values and living into those values and you're thinking “listen, Tracy I'm going to be at daycare in 4 minutes! How do I actually implement this into my life?”

There's a big puzzle piece missing in between where you are and where you want to be. Your destination is living in alignment with your values.

First you have to figure out what your core values are and then you have to figure out how to live into those values.
