This month, we're going to be doing a series on 'Happier at Work.' Our rates of stress and burnout are high. If we want long, productive careers where we help the most people we have to be taking care of ourselves!

In this 'sode we go through 3 mental habits Nicole has used to practice for nearly 20 years and that we try and cultivate in our team at PelvicSanity.

First is being ready to receive your patient. If you're rushing into work at the last minute you can feel behind, rushed or frenetic all day. That's extra stress and it means you aren't providing the best possible care for your people. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before your first patient, getting settled in, taking time to review your caseload and feel settled yourself so you can receive your patient.

Next is a reset ritual. This is a way to mentally reset between patients. You can leave the last session behind, refocus, and be ready to meet the challenges of your next patient. We find this skill to be critical in pelvic health when we deal with such a wide variety of patients.

Finally, count your wins! We start every staff meeting at PelvicSanity by having each team member go through their wins. As humans, we bias towards negativity. Many of us are (hopefully recovering) perfectionists. We dwell on the person who flared, or who got frustrated, or who isn't improving as quickly as we wanted. Instead of focusing on all of the success stories, people we've helped or positive outcomes. So ask yourself at the end of the day - 'what were the wins'? When you start looking for the positive, you'll find it!

Fascinating conversation with Rising business coach and CEO Boardroom member Brittaney Sargent! A leader in the OT space, she's built a multi-site, 5-clinician, multi-disciplinary practice in just the last three years. And all coming off maternity leave with three little ones at home!

We discuss her clinical philosophy, why she works with 'clients' and not patients, how to run a multi-disciplinary team of OTs and PTs, and how she invests back in her team to create an amazing place to work. We'll also talk about the pros and cons of a multi-site practice, how she mentors her team and how coaching others in the business has improved her own business skills.

Can't wait for you to hear this wide-ranging conversation with Brittaney and learn about what has fueled her incredible growth!

When many of think about nervous system downregulation and treatment, pelvic pain springs to mind. But this is something that is critical for all types of patients.

Nervous system safety is a prerequisite to healing!

Intellectually I think we would all agree with that, but often we jump into treating diagnoses like incontinence, prolapse, constipation and more without ensuring our patients are firmly inside a 'Zone of Safety'. It's definitely both/and, not either/or!

Vagus nerve treatment techniques are one of our most potent tools for creating this, regardless of the patient's diagnosis!

Vagus Nerve Masterclass

For those listening on the day this 'sode drops, it's the final day to register for the Vagus Nerve Treatment Masterclass (www.pelvicptrising.com/vagus)! Registration closes at 8pm (Pacific) tonight - really hope to see you there!
