“Change takes place over time through continual persistence.” Dr. Caroline LeafThe healthcare industry holds a special place to me. My dad was a second generation physician and my brother followed in his footsteps. I thought I would as well, but college wasn’t easy for me. I started working in my dad’s practice when I was 13 years old in the summers. I continued working with him for many years and even worked with my brother until I became a mom.My dad was a servant leader physician putting his patients above his own health. Unfortunately, he got cancer in his late 50’s and passed away. He and my mom both struggled with their health and cancer took them both around the same time. This fueled my desire to go into the wellness industry to learn about nutrition, movement and the necessary mindset changes.The healthcare industry today is struggling. The politics, the insurance problems, the long hours and being short staffed. It causes many issues. Healthcare workers went into this industry because of their passion to help and care for others. Today, we see many leaving the industry because of burnout or compassion fatigue.My desire is to help the leaders and workers reactivate their purpose to continue the incredible work each is doing. I am a wellness coach and an ACE-certified Health Coach. I have learned that accountability is the only way to shift your mindset. I am a co-founder of Go Beyond, a people development company that improves well-being in the workplace. Our products and programs help companies recruit, grow, and retain their people. Personally, I love eating healthy, moving more, and keeping it simple. My purpose is to measure truth to promote wellnessMy promise is to always be a positive encouragement as you fight to make a change.
