One of the things I’ve discovered is that when I allow myself space to be all that I was and all that I am… I am able to be the best of both. When I worked too hard and fold my creative spirit, I became burnt out. It wasn’t until I took quite a bit of time off and reset That I was able to see the importance of holding space for both my creativity and my intellectual, clinical side. And for me, art is a form of rest. So when I allow myself time and space to be creative and rest, I feel restored, and I can show up clinically as my best self. What part of you have you been stifling for the last 10 years? Who are you before your career and before your professional self arose? And can you create space for Geer or she to come back and be a part of your life perhaps just as much as your career? Who knows maybe their space for both in your job? #creativity #coaching #dentists

It doesn’t have to be this way… The dread, overworking, anxiety, and burnout. I’ve discovered that when you get clear about your values, strengths, and energy you can create a life and career that you love. #burnout #careercoachingforwomen #valuesmatter #cliftonstrengths #careercoach

From burn-out to misalignment in work to loving my job... Here are my key takeaways: 1) Burnout happens. It is real. It is physical. It is emotional. And, there isn't a quick fix. It's taken me several years to feel restored again. Also, everyone is different- one person may handle a certain load, and for someone else, they may have a much lower threshold. For me, the dental office feels very stimulating, and I believe it takes a toll on my nervous system. Add in the stress of owning- perfect recipe for burn out! 2) When you get clear about your values and strengths, you can spend more time in alignement and in flow. This is key for preserving your energy and nervous sytem. 3) One of my top values is community. I've found that feeling connected to my team at work is one of the top indicators of my work happiness. 4) It's easy to fall into people pleasing, over-extending your time, and being an emotional support for others. It's all about balance- recognizing your patterns and proactively creating boundaries with yourself and others. Healthy boundary creation is something many of us were not taught, but it's such a vital skill. 5) You have to learn about your energy- what drains you, what lifts you up, when are you feeling relaxed or stressed. From there, you can tweak your work/ life to honor it and spend more time filling up. 6) The why is so important; if you aren't connected, it can feel draining. I've found that connecting to early growth and development, and treating younger kids, works very well for my why. However, when my focus is on adults, I feel disconnected. This simple shift has brought much more alignment and joy. Is there a small shift that you can make? I'd love to hear if this resonates? What would you add to this list?? Always seeking answers! Much love, Camden

The other day I went on a facebook forum and got the ICK...I mean, it was bad...a full body NO, this is not for me. This got me thinking about how important it is for our mental health to be in spaces that feel aligned. Spaces where you feel seen and heard. Spaces where you feel SAFE. This inspired me to create this post- To be crystal clear about who this space is for To kindly but firmly ask: If you aren't aligned, please leave. No judgement. Sending you my love. Because if you don't get it, then you are contributing to an energy that is not healthy for the people I am here to serve. #careercrisis #slowingdown #mentalhealthprofessionals #camdenbrowncoaching #professionaltribe
