28. Take personal responsibility without burning out with Erin Gibb
10/16/22 • 55 min
Act responsibly without taking on others' responsibility.
Erin Gibb shares her philosophy of caring for and nourishing her healthcare organization as a living organism, before turning her attention to the well-being of the clinicians working in her organization, and, finally, to the well-being of the people who receive care in her clinic. While her approach feels counterintuitive to many, focusing on organizational well-being has had far-reaching impacts and has created waves of healing and sustainability throughout her community.
Her early experiences working with First Nations people in a community with limited mental health resources taught her the principle of interdependence and the importance of focusing on organizational and clinician healing and wellness. When the organization heals itself, the people being cared for by the organization are empowered to heal the community.
Erin shares how she has created a thriving clinical community based on the core value of freedom. Now she coaches her clinicians to connect with the essential elements of their “being” and their most profound dreams and desires. Not only is this transformative for the people working as clinicians, but the people they are serving can also experience greater levels of healing, and freedom, and learn to become genuinely self-honored.
Listen to find out:
- What lessons Erin learned about culturally sensitive care while working with First Nations people in Northwestern Canada.
- Why Erin prioritizes the well-being of her organization above client outcomes.
- And why she believes that taking responsibility and owning our power create a revolution within the healthcare system!
My favorite quotable moment from this episode!
“Mental health revolution comes from therapists, caregivers, healthcare providers, putting their needs first, as that will help everyone.”
Erin Gibb (Menders, episode 28)

27. How to master anxiety under pressure with Ramses Rodriguez
For Menders episode 27, I had the privilege to sit down and talk with Ramses Rodriguez, an anxiety master coach, who shared how we can learn to use anxiety as a tool when we allow ourselves to be 100% honest about how it’s serving us in our lives.
In this episode, Ramses shares his journey from nurse’s assistant to master coach and the life lessons he’s learned along the way. Ramses combines evidence-based practices with holistic healing and coaching strategies to help high-performing individuals experience freedom from panic.
In healthcare, particularly high-pressure leadership roles, we don’t always cut ourselves slack, take breaks, or set necessary boundaries. And as Ramses so clearly articulates, many of us experience overwhelming anxiety (or panic) that begins to dictate our actions and limit our ability to perform at a high level or to fully live the lives we want to enjoy.
As Ramses shares, anxiety is a red flag that is hard to miss and easy to respect and may just give us an easy out when we’re starting to violate our boundaries or values. But we can learn to use anxiety as a tool as we let go of its indirect benefits and begin to address our needs directly.
- How Ramses has learned to “hack” his anxiety triggers by creating systems that help him set sustainable boundaries.
- Why taking the time to acknowledge the role anxiety plays in our lives can have a powerful healing impact.
- And what strategies boost personal productivity without sacrificing well-being!
My favorite quotable moment from this episode!
“I can set a boundary easily if my default physiological symptom is a boundary...and if [anxiety] were a tool, how do we leverage that? ...It’s helping me fulfill a need for a boundary.”
“Think of the high performer. We need an out, this is an easy way where our body says, ‘No more.’”
