We Are Reading Poetry with Dr. Ronan Kavanagh (dotMD.ie)
With gentle presence of poetry the idea is to bring awareness to wellbeing efforts for HCW and also illustrate a devastating aspect of burnout. If we can show the light to even a single person who struggles and contemplates the idea of leaving the professions it makes a difference and builds hope that together we can move the needle in the right direction.
Ba ba …balancing.
Today I talk to Physician Assistant, author and creator Libby Lykins, our topic - balancing act.
Act beyond words.
How can we do better than words and prayers to advance social justice? I would start with listening. This is what provoked me to sit down with Tony Galvao who is the President of charitable organization near Boston that helps youth in need. We talk about what young people really want and how to use that energy to provide them with wider choices and bright future. We talk how to inspire the current youth to change and how art can be a source of healing.
Libby Lykins, PA talks about Magnificent Metamorphosis.
I met Libby through our mutual friend Steve Lyons, the Cape Cod artist that I interviewed for these pages in spring. Libby is a woman who wears many hats - she is a practicing clinician, editor, author and transformation enthusiast who wants to reach broader audience with her Magnificent Metamorphosis Magazine, see link to blog I wrote about it 2 weeks ago. I sat down to talk to Libby about her passion in this 18 minute video, hope you enjoy.
Do you think of change, balance or transformation? Do you need minute for yourself, or perhaps you have strength to help and listen to others? Perhaps you are ready for Metamorphosis..
Follow the journey.
