"I first experienced the feelings of burnout far before I could Identify what was happening in my life and my career. Looking back now, the feelings of burnout started in 2019, but 2020 was when I was able to recognize what these feelings meant. I was living in the hampster wheel of my career. I was a mom of 2, and the effects of COVID and the trauma that it played in my life were devastating. Harmony being my number one strength did not work to my advantage over the uncertainty of COVID-19. I dealt with two miscarriages, the loss of my mother, and the overwhelming load of patients that needed to be seen. Never mind topped with the uncertainty of COVID-19 in my life, the team I worked with at the office but also the patients that I was seeing. It was at that time that I started to feel all the effects in my personal life starting to crumble. I was always so unhappy coming home from work, the stress was eating me alive and I knew that something wasn't right. I did not know that burnout was even a thing. I just knew that the toxic environment that I was in was contributing to my uneasiness and unhappiness. I knew that I wanted a change in my career and that there had to be more than the level of care that I was providing my patients. My Body was starting to feel the effects of stress and burnout. My mind was not in the right place, I had a scarcity mindset and at that time I had a hard time thinking about tomorrow. It was not until I had a call with a recruiter to talk about fixing my resume that I even thought about what I wanted in my career in the next two years. This was when the light bulb went off for me and I knew that I needed to make a change, mentally and physically for myself and for my loved ones. I was ready to make a change in my life and I knew that it started with me."
