Sleep, Work and Sharing the Load
In this conversation of work family me I chat to Kelly Geoghegan, a Maternity Nurse, EMT & Registered Paediatric Sleep Consultant about work and sleep. Two very important aspects of our day to day that are often hugely impacted when we become parents. As a burnout prevention coach I often come back to baseline physical health over and over again - are we sleeping, are we moving, are we nourishing ourselves - and the connection between that and our mental and emotional states. A number of my clients negotiating careers, confidence, boundaries, promotion, money and visibility are also living broken nights, guilt, resentment and exhaustion.
Take a listen to our conversation to hear:
- common challenges working parents face
- what might help to play the long game
- an alternative focus to "crying it out"
- workplace changes around support for employees
- what Kelly turns to in keeping herself healthy and well
- 3 tips for keeping calm in Christmas chaos (equally applicable to babies and adults :))
