Did you know the ACT Legislative Assembly ⚖️ is considering making stealthing a criminal offense? We are conducting a 3 min. survey of young ppl aged 16-24 to gauge their understanding of stealthing & exposure to consent-based education 👫👬 link➡️ https://t.co/c24kiRzilL

“I would encourage everyone to know there is no job, no dream, worth putting up wt harassment, violence or burnout. I came to my position bc I was so unwell. I had to make a values based choice. That’s my advice, think about your values & what you want” @mindbodymiko #sheleads

That concludes our conversation - we are on questions now: “If you do stay longer than you should in a bad place, don’t necessarily feel bad - because you still learn things. It’s hard to say when you should leave. Everyone told me to leave but I was stubborn ..

“I would never want someone to have mental illness from their workplace & it’s hard to manage burnout once it’s happened. Please recognise the signs, but also know that you can still learn & do great things after burnout” -@mindbodymiko 🩺👏 #sheleads

“I got some hate from a few keyboard warriors & I found out that one of them was a man I worked with at the hospital - & I realised, you know what - if you are a perpetrator, then you should feel uncomfortable. Hit me with your one star review” 🩺👏 #sheleads @mindbodymiko

“I set up a blog when I left. When I wrote that piece, I had 11 followers - thanks mum and dad - I didn’t even have twitter but the blog went far. It connected with doctors & nurses in other health systems. Being able to find common ground is important to create change” #SheLeads

“You gain strength every time you talk about it [a traumatic experience] & at first I would just cry every time but I realised that I was able to help ppl just by sharing my story. I was terrified though, what if ppl didn’t like it, but can never know unless you try” #Sheleads 🩺

“I would still support any woman who wanted to do medicine. I would tell her how hard it is but ultimately support her. In myself I just came to a point where I realised I was ok without medicine. I got by with therapy & I connected with family. I found myself” @mindbodymiko 🩺

[She Leads @SheLeadsCBR]

“I had a bit of an identity crisis. My whole life was connected to my dream. To separate where I was with my identity as ‘plastics’ was a mind *bend*. I found a lot of solace in yoga & being able to disassociate with all these external things” #Sheleads

[She Leads @SheLeadsCBR]

“When I spoke to my friends however, I just realised how common it is & how breaking down the stigma is important. I realised that a lot of my friends have therapists. Overcoming this fear of judgement is huge. The first time I told someone I cried. But now, it’s just part of me”

“I was working in a unit with one other, the two of us covered a 24 hour service. I worked 12 days on, 2 off - every fortnight. 10 of those days were 24 hour shifts. I was on call when I went home. I couldn’t turn my brain 🧠 off. I became so unwell”. @mindbodymiko #SheLeads 🩺

“When it’s you, your colleagues can be harsh to you. The stigma, the fear that your colleague will report you to the medical board - all these things are barriers to you accessing help” #sheleads
