⛔️How much longer can you tolerate working in an environment that doesn’t appreciate or support you?

I stayed in toxic work environments for way longer than I should have because I did not know my own worth.

I thought if I just focused on my passion for patient care, it would be fine.

But the reality is, your environment is a huge factor in your joy and fulfillment with your work.

Leaving a toxic workplace means you are finally able to let go of whatever pain brought you a false sense of security and recognizing your inner strength and worth. It is choosing your health and well-being.

It’s scary and takes an immense amount of courage to let go. But I’ll tell you something, if you have the strength to leave a toxic workplace, you will have no problems finding something that is meant for you 🦋🙏🏻

Grateful to @indigowindsor for hosting my next book signing on May 2nd, which is the 8th anniversary of my dad’s passing ❤️.

I’ve done two signings previously @indigo and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating.

It’s been over 5 years since my last signing and I am looking forward to meeting you - hearing your story, sharing mine - and how together, we can keep championing compassionate communication in healthcare.

I am forever thankful to you for supporting my book, sharing it with others you felt would benefit, writing reviews, and sharing how it’s impacted you.

Communication may not necessarily be “a hot topic” but it should be an everyday one and I will strive to keep the conversation going until the gaps are improved.

I hope you’ll join me from 12-3pm May 2nd at @indigowindsor 📚🗣️ by @communication_is_care

✨Let your patients guide you. Far too often, I’ve seen patients with delayed diagnoses and multiple trips to their MDs or ER for recurring issues.

When you let go of the control to know it all, you’ll be surprised by all you know.

Our job is not to put patients into our little clinical box of knowledge and expertise. It’s to help free themselves of it. And yes, it’s a very little box in comparison to the vastness of a human life.

Everything you’ve learned and will help your patient will surface when you’re present and following your patients’ health journey, no matter how acute or how chronic.

You’ve got to trust that.🙏🏻

“Thirty-four years later and I still get goosebumps from the opening piano of So Cruel. It broke my heart then and still does now … but it taught me early that feeling sadness through music is better than feeling nothing at all.”

Just a small excerpt from my published story in the passionate and talented @stefanobel’s book - U2 40 Hearts 40 Moments - dedicated to one of the greatest artists of our time, @U2 ❤️

Thank you @stefanobel for bringing us 40 together to share our stories, in gratitude, for the impact U2 has had on our lives.

Which artist has left the greatest imprint on your life? Whose voice or lyrics do you hear long after the music is done?

The plan for 2026 is pretty simple: coming back to my roots❤️

Fitness has been my foundation for over 25 years, through every stage of my life. It’s never let me down.

Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time pouring into healthcare, caregiving, and supporting others — and I realized that while these demands persist and may continue to grow, I need to make sure I’m standing on steady ground too. by @communication_is_care

✨My creativity has been re-awakened.

In a world where we give much of ourselves, I’m following this feeling of turning inward. Quietly. Peacefully. Comforted by the warmth of the blank page before me.

Writing for the sake of it and nothing else is the liberation needed in a world that never pauses.

How are you nurturing your spirit lately?

Grateful 🙏🏻❤️

It’s been over 17 years since I have been working in healthcare. For all of this time, I was the only one in our immediate family who chose to work in this field… until now…👀

I’m so happy for my niece, Dr. @abigailtaouil for choosing this field to help others. I’m so proud of you for working so hard, staying the course, and creating your professional path.

You would never know the heaviness of the workload because Abby never complained and always seemed to make valuable time for her family and friends (on such a tight schedule and longgg commutes).

We are so happy you’re back home Abs, I know you’re going to serve the residents of Windsor-Essex with great compassion and excellence. You are all of that and so much more. I cannot wait to see your future in eye care unfold ❤️👁️🧿🙏🏻😘 by @communication_is_care
