   Jo Lemura || Adjusting the Sails

   *This episode touches on bullying, anxiety, burnout, suicide and self-harm. If these topics are challenging for you, please take care while listening or come back another time. In this episode, Jo shares an honest and wide-ranging conversation about her experiences in nursing, aged care and medical research, and the impact that caring for, and working with, others can have on our own wellbeing. She talks openly about anxiety, burnout and self-harm, as well as the importance of recognising when we need support ourselves. Jo also shares some of the things that bring joy and balance to her life, including her love of sailing, adventure and travel, and her experiences living overseas. Her story is a reminder that the people who care for and support others are not immune to their own struggles, and that looking after ourselves is just as important as looking after those around us. If you are concerned about someone who is struggling and finding it difficult to see their way out of mental challenges then we highly recommend Question. Persuade. Refer.
