Permission Slip for Women Docs

I hereby grant you a permission slip to develop yourself, to believe in yourself and to live fully in your gifts and strengths.

10 Tips for Women Docs

Permission slip to focus on navigating the risk of burnout, aligning with your gifts and strengths and designing an interesting joy filled career.

Your unique combination of gifts and strengths is yours alone, do not wait for your Chair or your manager to show you your path. Your path is unique.
We all need to know that medicine is a high risk profession for burnout, it is OK to build skills to navigate this risk.
We need to acknowledge that medicine continues to have inequalities in gender, race etc. We can be part of the solution.
It is OK to have joy on the professional journey, fun is actually an important brain state!
It is OK to give yourself time to grow and learn.
It is OK to realize you will need extra sleep, rest and nutrition when you learn as this is an active brain state.
It is OK to assess who is stealing your attention all day, start with your screen time and assess what you do during your days that does not use your full gifts and strengths.
It is ok to realize that it will take resources, time and money, on your professional development, you can take it with you the rest of your life!
It is smart to assess your culture and see if you agree with the values.
It is fine to realize everyone is a teacher, we learn what to do or what not to do from everyone around us. Take the lesson and move on.

Bonus Tips:

It is vital to set boundaries, it is not easy yet we have to be consistent and practice this skill.
It is wonderful to feel empowered, to have a framework to follow for clarity on next steps of professional development.
It is important to acknowledge anger and the desire to leave, these are shining lights on areas where we feel threatened or devalued.

Women Docs

Find Joy and Purpose with Neuroscience Strategies

Brain Fresh LLC

Founder, Dr. Mary Rensel

Would you like to feel supported, heard and informed on how to thrive on your journey as a woman doc?

Along my nearly 30 years in medicine I have been looking for a framework or solution to guide me to keep work creative, purpose driven and exciting. I asked a bunch of women docs how they did it, how they kept work interesting and engaging. How did they keep a work- home balance? How did they navigate the culture of medicine? How do you find what actually matters to you? How does one find meaning and purpose? How do you find other women docs that are growing, joyful and supporting their communities? I would find suggestions and tips here and there yet the big questions remained for me. I thought I would reach out to women outside medicine and see if they had the answer. I built a group of women in business, together with my friend and CoFounder Ali Hively, my “Ocean 11” team as we chose women from all different industries. We met, we shared wins and challenges. I still was looking for a long lasting strategy for professional joy and purpose. I learned from and networked with groups of docs and women creating businesses. I dove deep into burnout, business, neuroscience and leadership literature to find the “pearls” in professional joy and purpose. I hired 2 business coaches. I then created a business, Brain Fresh LLC, to support the busy woman doc with neuroscience strategies to help them find joy and purpose that I wish I had earlier in my career. I co founded Brain Ops Group,with Ali Hively, to support women, physicians and nurses in their professional well-being plan. I have found a space to build, feel creative and use my strengths using neuroscience strategies and I want to share the strategies with you so that you can actually have clarity and creativity, less stuck and frustrated. I never understood why we don’t use brain tools for work growth. I never understand why we don’t get more clear on our values and strengths of our particular brain and use that to help others in this world. I am not OK with the status quo, women continue to have inequities in the workplace and this world needs us living fully in our neuroscience strengths. There is nothing worse than going to school for 20 years and then feeling stuck in the workplace culture. I believe in neuroscience strategies for joy, growth and creativity. I have developed a neuroscience framework focused on joy and purpose that I am sharing in “Hammock” with women docs. Join me and let’s make this world a better place while you live in your joy and true purpose.

Testimonials

"...the course is full of actionable items, positive energy and connection. I am so glad that I had it on my list for self care and professional development. I appreciate the outstanding job on the course by neurologist, Dr Mary Rensel! The beautiful views of nature on the background are certainly a bonus and help to recharge" Nina Riggins

“I stayed busy all the time, my time management was trash. I was interested in “everything” and had no priorities. My mentor told me to be the person that I want to be. I needed help with time management so when I saw Synapse, I was thrilled. I wanted to be intentional, I wanted help working with my brain, I found it both a hurdle and a power house. “ Nicole D.

“The course helped me gear up to help my focus. I'm focused on my feelings and the affirmations helped too. I started to give myself more grace. This was new for me. I was able to reframe since I knew the science of how my brain works. I liked the challenges of finding what is filling up my schedule. I liked looking at what I had to do vs what I wanted to do. I started to set goals for 1 and 3 years. I started to think about my actions as synonymous with my purpose or worth. I stopped thinking I had to grind out a hard schedule and have fun later in 10 years. Synapse, it really made a big difference”. ND
