Ep 24: Energy Management Series: Emotional Energy

As female-identifying physicians, we're no strangers to the invisible weight of emotional labour - whether it’s managing complex patient interactions, juggling competing demands at home, or absorbing the emotional load of our teams and loved ones. In this powerful episode, Sarah and Alicia unpack how emotional energy gets drained and, more importantly, how to replenish it.

In Episode 3 of our 5-part series on Energy Management, Drs. Sarah Lea and Alicia Power turn the spotlight to a deeply underestimated force in how we show up: emotional energy. From the role of emotional intelligence and boundaries to the science of gratitude and recognition, this conversation offers a roadmap for cultivating emotional stamina in a field that rarely stops to ask how we’re doing.
